Throughout my day I have many ideas for a blog post. Very rarely do they make it to the blog. Usually when I do a post it is a run down of what we've been doing with a couple of pictures thrown in. I have a second right now where Bridger is sleeping and Corbin is destroying something in the kitchen. I don't really care what it is, he's occupied and I can blog!
Here are a few of my thoughts in no particular order.
1. How in the world did I get to be a 28 year old mother of two, whose day revolves around dishes, dinner, diapers, laundry, the internet (for sanity purposes), and cartoons? In my mind I am still somewhere around 21-23. I don't want to go back to high school (that would be a nightmare), or even my first years of college (although I did make some good friends there). I loved my time at Utah State and in my mind I am still young enough to be doing all those crazy things. The trouble is that the kids who really are young enough to be doing all those crazy things think that I am WAY to old to be doing those crazy things. Sheesh, I'm only about 8 years older than them. Don't they know that isn't that much? While I do love my life sometimes I dream about the carefree days before real jobs, real bills, real lives to be nurtured and taught. It was much easier then! So I want to know...what is your prime? Where are you at in your mind? Or am I the only crazy that thinks like this?
2. I love my elliptical. If you're thinking about purchasing one, do it!
3. Going back to #1. for some crazy reason I think that I'm still in that shape. We all know that isn't the case. I've had to work up to where I thought I would be able to start on the elliptical. At least I'm making progress. That is all I'm worried about. I love the feeling of accomplishment after I have gone faster and longer than I thought would be possible. Love it.
4. I like that when I am working out again. Some of you are thinking, when did you ever work out? Trust me, there was a time in my life when I was at the gym every day. Might not have been a very long time in my life, but it was there. I love that I don't have cravings for sweets. If I think about eating it I just think about all the work I will erase. That is enough motivation because, dangit, I am not going to be working out for nothing. I don't like it that much!
5. I like paying bills and actually having money at the end. Such a good feeling!
There is my randomness. Have a great weekend. I'm off to make sandwiches...

Did you realize you wrote, "Such a god feeling". Do you feel like a god after paying the bills? Ha ha.
My prime is twenty-four to twnety-five. Such a wonderful age. I was running a lot. Thin. Studying. Traveling. I still think I'm that age. BUt I'm two years from 30. Oh my gosh. 30. Oh... my... gosh...
I think we might be related or something...hehehe I swear half of your posts, I could just copy & paste to my blog, because they are exactly what I am thinking or feeling! haha
I think my prime was probably when I was 20-21, still in college, newly married, but no kids...life was still carefree, and we were responsible for no one but ourselves. Don't get me wrong, but I love having my kids, but yes, it is a lot of work, and somedays it would be nice to be carefree, and not have to worry about them (I'm hoping Hawaii will do that for me...although I know I will be missing/worrying about them still) :). A lot of times I still think that I am that old, maybe 22 tops...but then when I look at myself (I know, I'm only 25), and then I look at others who are in their *early* 20's, I realize that I'm older than that! (and have no sense of style apparently either!) haha
I read your post when you first put it on, and I have been trying to figure out when my prime was, or if I even had one. I felt really good after I ran my half marathon last year, but I had had 2 kids, and stretch marks, so maybe not. I felt pretty good after we got married for quite awhile. Those were good times. It's so different now that we have children. Not worse, just different. I often think about going back to school, but I would be too scared that I would look so old next to all the 18 year olds. I'm glad you're loving working out. I've never been a big fan of the elliptical, but anything that you like, you will stick with, and that's what counts. I love treadmills, because you can go really fast, and get your workout done quickly. Also why I like running. I am looking forward to that time when we pay bills, and actually have money left. It will happen someday. . . .
I am SO with you on #1. I totally consider myself 21-ish. A couple of weeks ago Kimball and I saw young couples on BYU campus and thought, do they realize they have all the time in the world? No restrictions. It's hard to appreciate until it's gone. I know that years down the road I'll look back at this stage and hope that I appreciated it too. So, that's what I'm trying to do. I have to remind myself often, but I'm trying!
