Happy happy happy!!

All I can say is that I am so happy. Things with Gavin are looking up and he is currently having a blast with his cousin Justin who is going to sleep over tonight. Zachary is here watching Garfield with me and Makenna is getting ready for bed. I love hearing the kids laughing and playing.

Erika is at my store while the crazy 5-midnight crop is going on. They are enjoying wings, sloppy joes, apple pie and lots of other goodies!! Looked yummy when I was there. And Mesha's homemade salsa was sooo delicious! I had to try it before I left. I love my customers, their creativity, their loyalty and their awesome positive spirits!

Erika and I had a blast with our store meeting today, poolside. Makenna and Allison played forever in the pool. I got a nice sun burn. Day was soooo good! I actually started out breaking my mile run record this morning at the gym. I ran one mile in 7.33. The fastest I have ever run was 7.54. YAY! I was able to pound out 4.5 miles in 35 minutes...that includes the cool down. Must say I impressed myself. (And, Heather.. she was making faces at me saying I was so focused that I needed to smile.) Believe me, I was smiling all day!

My mom and I have been having lots of heart to heart chats. She mentioned how proud she is of me for standing my ground with Gavin and not giving into his selfishness. I know he will outgrow this. Hopefully it will be soon. I love how close my mom and I have gotten. She is one of my best friends. Well, I am headed to my baby's. We are going to enjoy some ice cream out by the fire on the deck under the stars.
