Slow Down

First of all, I need to say that for the first time on Monday, I went swimming in MARCH! Well... I went in the pool. Even though it was 90 degrees here the pool was freezing. Kaelyn screamed for the first minute, but after her legs and feet numbed up, she had a blast! Ok, now onto the real blog...

So, I am getting increasingly frustrated with California drivers! I get so frustrated by the people that make our roads dangerous, just so they can get somewhere faster. These people have no care that I am trying to safely get my precious little daughter from place to place. It really annoys me.

Now, before I go any further, I need to say, I used to be one of these drivers who could never get somewhere quickly enough. Although, I did, for the most part, follow the speed limit, I did have my share of tailgating slow drivers and dangerous maneuvers. But, I have learned from my mistakes! I'm not so sure other people will slow down for anything short of death!

I have actually been tailgated and then followed for doing 5 over the speed limit out here. (Did I mention that this was on a very curvy, dangerous road too?) Yes, I said 5 OVER, not UNDER! And out here, if you are getting followed by someone, nothing guarantees that they won't pull a gun on you, which really scared me when I had my 1-year-old in the backseat!

Then, I have to laugh at the people that go zooming around me, only to be stuck at the same red light as I am, then watched them floor it out of there, only to meet up with them at the next red light. Ha ha ha! Or the sweet satisfaction that I once had of someone speeding around me, then watching the red and blue lights come on and they got nailed. But, unfortunately, that satisfaction is a rare occurrence.

So, I am urging you all to SLOW DOWN! You never know who could be in that car that you are tailgating or swerving around! If you want to be reckless, do it when only your life is at risk, not innocent little children who have no say

From Bad to Good

Yesterday was one of those days where I wish I would have just stayed in bed. Ever have a day like that? I mean, obviously I couldn't just stay in bed... but it sure would have been nice. It was one of those days where nothing traumatic happened, but a bunch of little things added up to be one big mess of a day. I'm sure you know what I am talking about.

So, this morning I did decide to stay in bed! :o) Not forever, but longer than usual, to make up for my bad day yesterday. Jason had a meeting this morning, so he wasn't eating breakfast at home, so I took the opportunity to sleep in, well, as much as you can with a 13-month-old... I slept until about 7:15. Kaelyn woke up not long after that, but I let her play in her crib for a while, she was quite happy in there.

After a while the phone rang, and to make a long story short, it was the City of Chino Hills saying that Kaelyn made it into the "Kids Love Music" class, which um, started 50 minutes from when the phone call arrived, and I had to get there early to register. See, yesterday I had called and found out that I was put on the Wait List, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. So, I was VERY excited to find out that we were in the class, but getting ready was going to take nothing short of a miracle in the little bit of time I had.

So, I started rumaging through my closet, and decided, "what the heck... I'm going to try on this pair of capri's that hasn't fit me in years!" So, I tried them on, and they fit! I could not believe it. I was thrilled. I went and got on the scale and discovered that I am back down to the weight that I was when I got married! YAY! Another plus for today!

So, all of this is to say that I have never had a good day completely cancel out the bad day that happend right before it. And that is awesome!
