Good stuff

What a great day.
I had to cancel boot camp because it was raining. Glorious, cold rain. The ground is so dry here in North Georgia the rain just sits on top of the ground like it's been poured into a dish.

I had an IEP for Xan today. He's doing so well. I can't believe that this is the same boy 4 years ago that had the autism label attached to him. Now he's heading towards mainstream (aka normal) classes for math and centers. He still needs alot of services, but a victory is a victory none the less. I'm grateful for what I've learned having a child like Xan. The challenges have been huge but nothing compared to my view on the world since becoming his Mother. Sometimes what appears to be a curse is actually a blessing, and that's how I view Xan's learning disability.

Xavier and I cuddled on the couch after a draining session of choo choos. He's starting to role play more and talk more which is bringing out his little personality. He's cracking up at everything lately and I can't get enough. He puts his hands on my cheeks and gives me this big ol' kisses that makes me explode with joy.

I had great clients today. The kiddie boot camp is so cute. I feel like I'm doing my part with these girls to learn healthy habits and gain positive body image.

My husband came home early from work so we spent a little time together. It's amazing what an extra 30 minutes makes.

Good Mews sent me an email thanking us (Xan and I) for helping on Friday. Apparently we are excellent poop scoopers and they want us back as often as possible. I love that place and I feel a lifelong partnership laying itself out in front of me.

I ran 2.5 miles with a client tonight in perfect weather. I'm usually a solo runner, but something about listening to your girlfriend talk/vent makes the task so much easier. I wish I had more time because I could have run for at least another 30 minutes.

I finished work early and kissed Xan goodnight. I love that.

I ate so clean today I had some dark chocolate with peanut butter for dessert.

I love days like this. I'm so in love with my family, I enjoy my job, I'm hopeful about my marathon aspirations and a passion (the shelter) is more rewarding than ever.

Life is good. :)
