Couple of thoughts from my week

Good news everyone....I finished my 5K in 32.02 minutes.  It was a splendid day.  I can't tell you how proud of myself I really was when I finished that day.  I've already signed up for my next race and I'm super excited about it.  More on that topic later. 

The big 1st Birthday party is on Saturday.  Besides actually making the food, I think everything is ready to go.  I cannot believe that I am about to have a one year old little person.  People always make the statement that time flies by so quickly and I am now understanding this to its full meaning.  My baby, my first born, the one that made me a mother, is about to turn ONE!!!  Landon and I have laid in bed and laughed so many times the past couple of weeks at the people we were at this time last year.  

Every morning we turn on the Disney Channel to catch a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Nothing brighens my day more than having to do the "Hot Dog" dance.  One morning last week there was a break in the show.  This poem was being read called "Mother's Song" and it brought me to tears.  Please imagine images of Dumbo's mother cuddling him and Bambi's mother hovering over him in the forest before she DIES as this poem is being read......

Mother's Song
a Traditional Lullaby

My heart is like a fountain true
That flows and flows with love to you.
As chirps the lark unto the tree
...So chirps my pretty babe to me.

There's not a rose where'er I seek,
As comely as my baby's cheek.
There's not a comb of honey-bee,
So full of sweets as babe to me.

There's not a star that shines on high,
Is brighter than my baby's eye.
There's not a boat upon the sea,
Can dance as baby does to me.

No silk was ever spun so fine
As is the hair of baby mine.
My baby smells more sweet to me
Than smells in spring the elder tree.

A little fish swims in the well,
So in my heart does baby dwell.
A little flower blows on the tree,
My baby is the flower to me.

The Queen has sceptre, crown and ball,
You are my sceptre, crown and all.

For all her robes of royal silk,
More fair your skin, as white as milk.

Ten thousand parks where deer do run,
Ten thousand roses in the sun,
Ten thousand pearls beneath the sea,
My babe more precious is to me.

TALK ABOUT TRAGIC!!!!!!  I was boo-hooing at the end of this little segment.  Thank you Disney Channel for, as always, a cheery morning in the Wright Household. 

On a lighter note, I want to spruce up my blog but need some SERIOUS pointers.  I've been mucho basic with my blog from the beginning and have now become a little envious of those that have the artistic gene that somehow I'm lacking.  HELP!!!

My little man and his mommy!
