I would not recommend...

putting eggs into a pan, going to take a quick shower, leaving the eggs on, and then taking 2 of the kids to the dentist while the EGGS ARE STILL COOKING! Yesterday was early release (can I say that is one thing I will be happy to get rid of) and the kids had dentist appointments at 2. They get home at 1:40 and it's at least a 20 minute ride. At 1:20 I still hadn't showered so I needed to move it. I thought I'd put some eggs in to hard boil, my kids do enjoy a hard boiled egg, before I left so they could have a nice snack when we got home. Well, I forgot all about the eggs. Hunter gets home at 2:45. EXCEPT, Hunter was supposed to go to a track end of season party. Yesterday, Hunter said he just had a feeling he should come home, he just didn't feel like going to the track party that day. SO not like him either, he does enjoy a good party with junk food. He came home to the smoke alarm going off, and a smoke filled house. No fire, just smoke. He took the eggs off, they were done by then, and opened all of the windows. What if he would have gone? I'm just so thankful that boy was listening! Scary to think of what could have happened. My windows have been opened airing the house out. The smell is just about gone.

So, in a very long winded way, I just wanted to say how blessed I felt that everything was okay. Because really, I don't see how a fire didn't catch. And come on...Hunter not wanting to go to the track party...it's like too good to be true. I'm so watched over. On the way home, when Hunter was finally able to get ahold of me, I was upset. Shakey almost. I couldn't believe I had done that. By the time I got home, I pulled into the garage and was about ready to charge into the house when I looked down, and there was Hope's little purple head band. Just sitting under my feet on the little car carpet. I have looked for that head band. Looked and looked and looked, even in my car. I had given up on ever finding it about a month and a half ago. But it was just like somebody said, see bad things happen but things will be okay. I felt like it was Heavenly Father's little way of giving me a little pat on the back. After Scott lost his job, I blogged about a game I had played and really liked and wanted to buy. But Scott was out of work, and we weren't buying expensive games. A few days later, I was having a particularly bad day, and on that very day I got a package. One of my dear friends sent me that game. I immediately started to cry. The ugly cry. I called my Mom first, to tell her. I was crying so hard she didn't even understand me. Then I called my friend to thank her. Heavenly Father used her to answer my prayer, and to let me know everything would be okay. We are blessed so many times in so many little ways, that I'm afraid I don't even notice sometimes.

Moving on to less important matters...I went to the podiatrist a few days ago. Well, the good news is I didn't have a fungus. I do feel so much better about that. But I did loose my left toenail and some of the right. I've have a bandaid on the left for months, because I was afraid it would rip off. You could see damage (from all the hill running from before) on my nail (it was a line). The left was a lot worse and had pulled away all the way down to the bottom. Great, just in time for sandals.

I went to this brand new studio in Camas/Vancouver called Barre3. I loved the class, it was pilates meets voga meets ballet. LOVED IT! The teacher had the most amazing body. Of course they just open in time for me to move, but I walk into the class hoping to leave my socks on...only to be told it's a bare foot class. GRRRRRR. Oh well, I took my socks off and said oh well. The class was completely full and I had somebody right next to me. We had our feel all up in front of us on the bar and stuff. I felt the lady checking out me toes. I leaned over and told her I was a runner and lost my nails. I felt like telling her to stop staring!! haha At least it wasn't a contagious fungus. But it is ugly :( When something is embarrassing/obvious, I'd rather just get it out there so she could stop wondering. Nice. I did really like the cork floors, maybe someday I'd put those in someplace.

My windows are all open and I'm cold. Yes, cold because it's cold and damp here today, my windows are open and I'm still in workout clothes. Why can't I live in a place with a "normal" climate haha!!
