A few weeks back a friend posted a questionnaire she'd given her kids and shared their answers on Facebook. My kids have always liked these kinds of things, I have several from when they were younger that would be fun to post but I'd have to dig them out of boxes. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
This one was interesting because it focused on their perceptions of me. Some of their answers made me laugh, others were interesting or silly, but when I had gotten the answers back from the 4 of them mostly my heart was just full. I was surprised and pleased at how well they know me and grateful for how evident it is that they like me too. They are my world! </div>

I did it again! This time was different though. I didn't train. I was undecided if I was even going to come in the last two months leading up to the marathon. My life got busier and harder. I was gone a lot and feeling a bit buried by what life was throwing at me. If I ran twice a week it was a good week. I got in an almost 8 mile run in France in June and didn't run further than that until two weeks ago. A month ago I started running 3-4 days a week but only between 3-4 miles each time. I ran 9 miles with my sister and friends two weeks ago and the following week I ran 4 miles with one friend and then two hours later ran another 7 miles with another friend for a whopping 11 miles and not even all at once. This, my non running friends, is not the way to train for a marathon! I knew there was no way I was going to be able to finish.</div>

I have run in the St George marathon every year for the last 7years. I had finished it 3 times, twice I had gotten to mile 21 and had to stop once because of an injury and once because I passed out, and last year I got to mile 15 when I called it quits. I had come down with the flu and spent the next 2 days in bed at the hotel! I didn't want to come and have another incomplete marathon. Something about having more incomplete races than finishes bothered me. </div>

As I thought more and more about missing out on one of my favorite weekends of the year I knew I would be so disappointed if I didn't at least come out. As if the lure of Swig cookies and shopping at Pan wasn't draw enough, I decided I was going to come and at least start the race! I'm running another Ragnar relay in three weeks and my last leg will be 8.1 miles of hard. I decided to consider my St George run on the course a training run for Ragnar. My goal was to make it anywhere between 12 and 15 miles, just because that would be longer than anything I've run in a year.</div>

I was so excited to be there with my sister and Jason and supporting my friends Jill and Sam who were running their first marathons. Jill had trained the way an athlete trains because that's just who she is. She also happens to be lighting fast. I was so excited to see how fast she could do this! </div>

When we left the hotel at 4:45 and headed for the buses I was sure I hadn't slept more than a handful of hours, making the entire trip exactly like every other St George Marathon weekend I'd had to date. The only difference this year was that I knew I wasn't going to finish. Only there was this nagging little part of me that just wanted to try to anyway.</div>

There are times in life where it seems that everything is going your way and there are times that you feel like you're paddling upstream and the only option is to keep paddling or drown. The last few weeks I hadn't been sure which of those two options would be worse. I wanted to prove to myself that I can do hard things but I knew it was totally unrealistic.

As I came into town and went to give a high five to a lady on the side of the road we realized we knew each other and instead went in for a giant bear hug!

I got a popsicle from a sweet family handing them out to the runners as they passed in front of their house. I said yes please to another family who had brought their hose out to the street and offered to help any of the runners cool down as they passed by. I slowed down to enjoy the grouping of 7 standing house fans one resident had plugged into extension cords and brought out the street. And then I was on that final stretch of the course, about to finish the race. </div>

For a minute I ran behind Mark Scoffield and Sherri who joined him for a minute on that last stretch. And then it was just me and one other guy in front of me. I don't know what possessed me to decide it was necessary, especially since I had stopped so many times along the course for silly reasons, but for whatever reason I just had to catch and pass that guy. I caught him less than 50 feet from the finish and dang it felt good!</div>

Jason teased that the take home from this is just not to train. I've been trying to decide what it really is though. Maybe just taking the pressure off and removing the expectations we have for ourselves or we think others have allows us to see what we are really capable of. Or maybe its just that while we may not always feel up to life's challenges or that we are prepared to handle the things that come our way but if we have the drive and desire we just might surprise ourselves. Either way, there are two things I will definitely be bringing home from this weekend though, sore legs and a finishers medal!</div>

Lets be real, life is hard. While we all struggle with different sets of circumstances, the fact remains, we all struggle. We can focus on the hard choices, the poor health, the loneliness, the bitterness, the consequences of someone else's poor decisions, just plain bad luck and things we just don't understand or we can focus on the good. I like to stay busy so that I don't have to think about the hard things. I like to train for running events. I like hiking in the mountains surrounded by nothing but God's creations and the voices of my friends. I like laying on a sandy beach and listening to the waves. I like to loose myself in great music and I love to dance. I like to be that first set of ski tracks on a powdery mountain side. And I love to get the behind my boat and just play. After a couple of weeks with ridiculous amounts of hard things, back luck, mean people, and so many things out of my control I went out on the boat with my kids and husband. Just as the sun was setting and we were about to come in I decided it was my turn to get behind the boat. The water was smooth as can be, the sky was gorgeous, I was with my family and I was just playing. It felt so good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband took a video of me out there that night. I love the reminder it is to me to just live and focus on the good things because there are so many! Thanks Jeff for being my biggest fan!</div>

The million dollar question right now has been, "Did you find them yet?" My answer for now is I think so. The day after The Daily Mail shared their story in the UK it seems the rest of the world shared the story! I had messages in my now heavily used "other" inbox on Facebook from people in Ireland, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, South Africa, Russia, Austrailia, Italy, and Poland all saying that it was all over their news stations and internet. <br />
<br />
Several people from Germany have contacted me saying they were friends of the couple. Three of them claimed to have been in school with them and a few currently work with the couple. I have sent a message to them but have not heard back from them directly.<br />
<br />
One of the people who contacted me said they were related to the couple in the pictures. He says the couple has the pictures but does not wish to have their names or any information about them shared with Media as this has gotten so big. I can certainly respect that!<br />
<br />
And that's really the end of the story at this point. There are no neatly tied up loose ends and no fairytale endings here. However, if this really is my couple then I have accomplished what I set out to do which was simply to share the pictures with the couple who was in them.<br />
<br />
I owe a big thank you to everyone who helped in my search and to those who shared. I'm especially grateful for those who took the time to say something kind or defend me against all the nasty comments that were shared. I had no idea this story would go viral and no ulterior motives, but there has been so much negativity and scrutiny over my intent in taking and sharing the photos that I am feeling so relieved to have some kind of resolution here. <br />
<br />
Mission accomplished? I think so.justjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07080878186203324890noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210104711124209000.post-16967553252933649432015-07-03T14:20:00.001-07:002015-07-03T16:05:36.521-07:00Going Viral<br />

The day after I posted on Facebook I got a message from our local news asking for permission to share the pictures and to ask a few questions. She said they would broadcast the segment at 4 that afternoon. I left and went out to the lake with a bunch of my kids and their friends.<br />

When I had coverage again and I checked my phone and saw that Candace Cameron Bure who is probably best known as DJ from the TV show Full House shared my post. There were over a thousand people in just one hour who had liked her share and the number of people who had shared my post was at almost 13,000 by the time I went to bed that night. <br />
<br />
The producer from our local news checked in with me the following morning to see how my search was coming along and I told her about the help I'd gotten from Candace and checked the number of shares it had gotten. I was up to 30,000 and by noon it was at 60,000 and it had only been up for just over two days. The news came over and interviewed me at the house. That broadcast locally at 11 that night.<br />

I began to get messages form the same news agency across the country but from different affiliates wanting to share and asking more questions. It went to Chicago, New York and Atlanta that I knew of and then someone from their online department wanted to run the story. As I spoke with her she told me about the "other" box on Facebook where messages go from people you don't know. I had no idea!!<br />

If the couple tried to reach out to me that's where it would go. I checked the box and there were literally hundreds of messages and I was going to need to read through each one just in case. The other funny thing that happened was my Facebook friend requests. I was literally getting hundreds of those as well! Then I got a text from a friend of Wes showing that he'd tried sending me a Facebook friend request and had been denied because I had reached my limit of requests! I didn't even know that was a thing, but apparently when you reach 1000 requests no one can send you anymore until you respond to the ones in the box!<br />

As I worked my way through the "other" messages inbox I was overwhelmed that so many people had taken time to say how great they thought it was what I was doing to try to find the couple. I was floored when I saw that more than half of them were from outside of the U.S.! I have responded to every message that has come though that box and researched the various leads I've gotten though there. There was one that I got several messages about. A woman had also posted on Facebook that her daughter had been proposed to on the Empire State Building and they didn't get any pictures of the engagement but that there were so many tourists there that witnessed the proposal and she was hoping to find someone who had gotten a picture. She was asking people on Facebook for help. Unfortunately the pictures she was hoping to get were from a different day, a different city, a different continent and a different landmark. It wasn't the couple I was looking for but it gave me hope.<br />

As the messages come in, people from across the globe started sending me links to news broadcasts and articles that have been written and shared all over the world with my pictures. I am still getting countless messages from various news agencies and journalists for interviews and to answer questions about the pictures every day. I am floored that the pictures and this story have spread so far and so quickly. Never in a million years could I have guessed that so many people would even see my little post and care enough to make the effort to share! Its pretty cool to realize how many people out there are truly nice and want to help out where they can.<br />

On the flip side there are a lot of people out there who didn't read any articles and criticized me for not giving the pictures to the couple immediately afterwards. If they had read the articles they might have known how impossible that would have been for me. They claimed I was a photographer just trying to get my name out there so I could make it big. This one was laughable because I didn't even take the pictures with my good camera. I snapped them on my phone and unfortunately because of the hurry I was in some of them aren't as clear as they could be. But to jump to the conclusion that I was a photographer judging from these pictures was just funny to me. Then there are the claims that I'm just trying to get my 15 minutes in the spotlight. This is also ridiculous because it's not a picture of me that is circulating around, its not my vacation to France that I'm talking to anyone about, in fact people know so little of me that they assume I'm a photographer and don't know why I didn't get the pictures to the couple. The reason for this? Because it's not about ME! So many of my friends went online trying to defend me on these points, in fact so did a ton of strangers too. To those of you who did, thank you!<br />

The only criticism I have no real answer to is that this was a private moment and I was rude and insensitive to witness, take pictures of it, and to blast them all over the world. I did hesitate for a moment as I have said countless times, wondering if it was crazy to take pictures of strangers, but what made me do it anyway was the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have done to you. If it was me I would want the pictures. If it was me I would be so grateful that someone captured that magical moment in my life. Are there those out there that feel differently and would not want pictures and want to keep the moment private, yes there are for sure. There are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn't want these pictures and even more why they wouldn't want them shared. I do understand that, but overwhelmingly the response I've gotten from around the world is that there are many many more people out there like me who would just be grateful for the pictures. So I just hope that the couple in the pictures thinks and feels like me and most of the people commenting.<br />

The pictures and how they came to be have now been shared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Inside Edition, and countless news broadcasts across the globe. There are articles written in so many languages and countries it blows my mind. Popular ones like the Daily Mail, Reddit, Chive, It seems the whole world is looking out for these two and wondering who and where they are!<br />

Have you ever had one of those moments where your gut says to do something and you hesitate for just a split second and then decide nah I better not. You wrestle with it in your head for a second longer and then decide to just go for it. Gut instinct. Or maybe it's really because thats what you would have wanted done for you if the shoe were on the other foot. I've had those moments countless times, but the most recent was while I was on vacation in Paris and I was at the top of the Eiffel Tower.<br />

It was the second time during the week that we had gone up to the second viewing deck of the tower. At the beginning of the week our first time ever to France, I had booked us a tour that had us cruising down the Seine River and followed by skip the line tickets to the second viewing deck on the tower. If we wanted to go up to the top additional tickets needed to be purchased on the deck before riding the elevators up to the top. We learned the hard way that the ticket booth and elevators close up much earlier than the lower viewing decks do and we missed our chance.<br />

So here it was Sunday night around 9:45pm on June 21st and the sun was just beginning to set. We were back again determined to make it to the top of the tower before going home first thing the following morning. We had our tickets and had been waiting in line for some time when I mentioned to Jeff that I was going to need to use the restroom when we got up there. A helpful fellow line waiter mentioned that there were no restrooms at the top of the tower. They also mentioned that there would undoubtedly be a line to get on the elevators to come back down. If I didn't want to have an emergency on my hands I was going to have to figure out how to climb through the maze of bars and nylon straps forming the line that was crammed with hundreds of people. The observation decks were also full and getting though all of the people to find my way to the bathroom was no joke!<br />
<br />
I raced to the restrooms only to find that there was yet another line there to go in. By the time the emergency was averted I had a new potential emergency on my hands. How could I possibly make it back through all of the people and all of the lines to where Jeff was waiting for me in time. We were already fairly close to the front of the line when I left and I had been gone a while. I knew if I missed him there was no way we would make it onto one of these very last elevators of the night to the top. <br />

I was moving as quickly as you possibly can through a crowd like that, getting in a few brisk steps before someone else dodges out in front of you completely stopping any movement in any direction until another hole opened up through the masses and I could take off again. As I came up on one of these blessed openings I saw a man begin to bend down on one knee proposing to the woman he was with. No one else was around. The sun was just starting to go down and it was a gorgeous day. I couldn't believe what a perfect setting it was and grinned at my fortune at witnessing something so sweet! Instinctively I reached for my phone in my pocket thinking I should take a picture for them. Then I hesitated thinking, "Nah that's kinda creeperish to take pictures of strangers".<br />

I am no professional photographer and have no ambitions of becoming such but I sure do love when I can capture a real moment on camera. I am always the picture taker when I am out with friends or family. I'm good about sending the pictures I've taken to everyone who is in them. My friends are always grateful that I've snapped away and documented our trips and fun times. So the thought to take pictures of this moment was my first reaction. I shut it down and kept walking. After I was at least 20 feet away I was still wrestling in my head with it thinking, "If that was me on vacation and being proposed to at sunset on the Eiffel Tower I would want those pictures!" So following the golden rule of doing unto others as you would have done unto you, I stopped, turned around and took 5 pictures of the couple. The man had already gotten up from his knee. The woman's reaction was clearly one of joy and happy tears. I watched as she threw her arms around his neck and gave him good kiss.<br />

Almost instantly the rush of people was blocking my view of them and I could hear my husband whistling our family whistle letting me know he was looking for me. I knew he must be at the front of the line. I would worry about finding the couple to share the pictures later, right now I was on vacation with my hubby and I really wanted to make it to the top of that dang tower. I was breathless and a bit flustered when I finally had finagled my way back into line. I just barely made it back in time to catch one of the last elevators of the night. <br />

On our way up I shared the pictures of the engaged couple with my husband and a few people who'd been in line with us. I wanted them to see what the couple looked like and asked them to keep their eyes open for them when we came back down so that I could share the pictures with them. The view from the top of the tower was gorgeous. I was so thrilled that we made it. We looked for the couple from my pictures on the way down. We kept an eye out for them once we got down off of the tower as well.<br />

It was the first day of summer and the entire country was celebrating with a huge music festival. Every city had free concerts going on with music of every genre. Paris had several of them and one was in the same park as the tower is located so it was even busier than usual. Our search was futile.<br />

After we had been home for a few days I was still thinking about the proposal I had witnessed. I kept thinking about how if it was me I would want the pictures of that beautiful moment. A friend had suggested sharing on social media to see if anyone knew them. I decided since I had friends across the country and I had guessed that at least the man in the pictures was dressed similarly to men from the US and maybe I'd have a shot at finding them.<br />

Wednesday morning I posted the 5 pictures on my Facebook wall and asked my friends to share the pictures and help me find the couple. I had several suggest sharing with the media. I decided to share in two places. One being our local ABC 30 and then I shared the pictures on Ellen's Facebook page. I knew it was a long shot but again worth a try. <br />

I'm all laced up and ready to go but I just can't make that transition from my chair in the closet to the pavement.

Everyday has the potential to be great or not so great, depending on what I decide to focus on. My life is far from a fairy tale but I choose to focus on and share the good stuff.

Along the Road to Hana there was a stop we wanted to make but ran out of day light. We determined to come back later in the week.</div>

Twin Falls is just a couple of miles in on the Road to Hana and from the highway just looks like a mere fruit stand with a gravel parking lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you know better you take advantage of the parking lot and follow the trail along side the fruit stand and walk a couple of miles along a wide gravel road until you come to the first swimming hole and water fall.</div>

Many explorers only make it that far and still the journey is worth it but if you follow along the river for another quarter of a mile there is another swimming hole and waterfall even bigger and better!</div>

We had gotten the kids off early to ride jet skis out in the ocean, the second of their chosen activities. I was surprised that they all had decided on the same things. Kite surfing and a sunrise bike ride down the volcano were tight in the running, but the jet skiing won out. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjM2C2f62jKSiZRuy2FaLjE08Um-q_hZFClSI_SXtWgmZe9FLfMeUOWMASeAKVwSOfOGoF9KHicuJNGqpZQ0naHG5hyphenhyphenYjXB9IJcpyexILhTNGYDsGA9nG1Dmja68bV02cJuUYstG9Pg6U/s1600/IMG_3338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjM2C2f62jKSiZRuy2FaLjE08Um-q_hZFClSI_SXtWgmZe9FLfMeUOWMASeAKVwSOfOGoF9KHicuJNGqpZQ0naHG5hyphenhyphenYjXB9IJcpyexILhTNGYDsGA9nG1Dmja68bV02cJuUYstG9Pg6U/s1600/IMG_3338.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

When I came in from my run I found we had two injured kids! Lindsey was just a few months recovering from knee surgery and all the impact on her knee had it a bit swollen and pretty sore<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-UIR5dU8HpgZaXgkqptsqIUwh5Avwf99Gowpz7h5ZCYUxTg2Xv583ycywHVre0tgOQaMMKbmI9FnLJOL32E8rUpKCDj7OdXPhk-Y8HKcWEYxTAH_50uc89ijeBO5TTCXNaOI-XipxQA/s1600/IMG_3339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-UIR5dU8HpgZaXgkqptsqIUwh5Avwf99Gowpz7h5ZCYUxTg2Xv583ycywHVre0tgOQaMMKbmI9FnLJOL32E8rUpKCDj7OdXPhk-Y8HKcWEYxTAH_50uc89ijeBO5TTCXNaOI-XipxQA/s1600/IMG_3339.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

And Garrett had a very sprained ankle. It had swelled up to the size of a softball. But ask him how it happened and the kids face broke out into the hugest grin so typical of this boy. It was his first time driving a jet ski ever, and here he was driving over huge waves in the ocean. Crazy kid decided he'd try to do a barrel roll on the dang thing and poor Drew was riding behind him as passenger! Naturally they completely crashed and somehow his ankle got mangled in the process but they both swore it was super fun! </div>

With all of the options for adventure we could find on the island we told the kids they could each pick two big things they wanted to do. None of them regretted choosing parasailing over Maui as one of their options. I am grateful for the opportunity to give them these experiences and for shared experiences they have with each other. This was definitely a highlight of the week!</div>

Today I pretty much failed at everything. I had just two hours of sleep coming into today so my run was not what it should have been. Brynne was in tears because I hadn't purchased a special 4th of July outfit for her. She was sure this was going to be the worst 4th of July ever. I hadn't been home last night to decorate her bike for the annual parade but thought that after talking to several members of my family and letting them know where everything was they had it covered. They didn't. She had actually wanted to decorate her Jeep but we didn't have time to clean it out. As it was we were late because we were decorating her bike.<br />

I failed to get Drew to the church at 7:30 to help the rest of the scouts with the flag ceremony. In fact I failed to get anyone from my family to the breakfast at the church besides Brynne. The boys would not wake up and I didn't have time to fight with them because I had a bike to decorate and a 4th of July outfit to find for miss sassy pants who actually said to me,"Well I'm not even going to be in red white and blue and I'm not going to even look like its the 4th of July and its all going to be your fault!" Awesome. At the breakfast I failed to get the right foods for Brynne and had to make multiple trips back up to the food tables.<br />

I tried to redeem myself after the breakfast by allowing Brynne to accompany me on my Target trip to pick up food I needed for today and a few things for our camping trip. But then I failed to keep the rest of my family happy because I took too long and they wanted to get out on the boat. I was even more of a stickler when I refused to let anyone go out on the boat until everyone cleaned up all their junk all over the house. I know I'm horribly mean for making them clean up after themselves. I was deliriously tired and came home and took a quick nap while my sweet husband supervised the kids and the clean up.<br />

My family woke me up when they had finished their chores and were ready to go. I wasn't ready fast enough and needed to take a second car out to the lake. Then Brynne was mad because I forgot to bring the right lifejacket for her. We got to the lake only to have the boat die in spite of two new batteries that we put in two weeks ago. We spent an hour getting the boat back out of the water and charging the battery from the car. <br />

We took so long that Brynne got too hot and was begging to just go home and my dad offered to take her. The battery on the boat only lasted long enough for one and a half groups to get a ride on the tube before dying again.<br />

Luckily we had friends out on the lake who had jumper cables and got us charged up enough to get back to the dock. We were so grateful, but it was such a disappointment to have had our lake trip cut so short. A new alternator is being installed in the morning and well give it another go.<br />

When my had dad offered to take Brynne home from the lake he also was leaving us short 3 seats for a ride home. I thought we had agreed that we would call him when we were ready to go home so he could come pick us up. When it was time to go home we decided we'd just squish and so I didn't call him. Alas we weren't on the same page and he thought he was supposed to come to pick us up at 6. So he came all the way back to the lake to pick us up and we were already halfway back home squished into the car like we were trying to cross the border. Total communication failure.<br />

We were an hour late to the BBQ tonight and this had Brynne incredibly frustrated. Jeff wasn't feeling well and stayed home. When we got to the party I realized I had left the salad at home. Drew also realized he'd left his skateboard at home and asked me to pick it up. Wes called with a confusion about our meat that he was going to be trying to BBQ for me until I got back with the salad and Drew's board. I was distracted and forgot the board. Back at the party, Garrett was frustrated because I had also forgotten to get cheese for the burgers. And I had only gotten enough burgers for him to eat two plus a few hot dogs. Not enough food for him. Then both boys were frustrated with me because I'd forgotten the board and they were supposed to go to a friends house. <br />

I got Brynne dinner which she bumped and got ketchup all over her salad so I had to toss it and go back for round two. Then there was too much ketchup on her hot dog. <br />

When I was finally allowed to get my food I decided to just eat it in the car and to run back to get Drew's board. As soon as I got back yet again to the party Garrett was frustrated because he couldn't find Drew anywhere and he was really ready to go. When we finally tracked Drew down to tell him that I got his board and he could leave with Garrett he was actually on his way back to the party with my dad and his long board. They had driven back to the house to get Drew's board not knowing that I had already gotten it. When they couldn't find the penny board he grabbed his long board and they were finally on their way back to the party.<br />

Garrett hadn't wanted to wait any longer when we couldn't find Drew and left about a minute before I found out he was almost back. I called and made him come back to the party so that Drew could ride with him. There was no way I was letting Drew ride around on his skate board alone in the middle of the crazy traffic and so many people out drinking all around the stadium pre fireworks. After explicit instructions to stick together and telling the boys that Drew was not to be riding around alone they took off, with Garett still very mad at me for making him come back for Drew. <br />

Shortly thereafter Wes, Brynne, my mom and I started walking to the stadium for the fireworks and wouldn't you know I got a call from Drew about 20 minutes after he and Garret had left. He had called from a friends phone because his was completely dead. He had lost Garrett and couldn't find the house they were supposed to be going to and with no phone he couldn't get in touch with Garrett. He'd come back to the party to get an address from me. Well now I was gone and on foot so I was not in a position to go get him and he was now missing fireworks with his friends. Jeff ended up going and getting him to where he needed to be. All the while we were trying to get through to our favorite place near the stadium to watch fireworks, but it was all taped off and had security so we had to walk all the way around the stadium to get there. <br />

By the time we settled into our spot the show was just starting and I was ready to just be done with the day. I had felt like everyone had been frustrated with me or disappointed in me or just wanted me to do something more for them all day long. The fact that I'd had so little rest only made it even more overwhelming. <br />

When the fireworks show was finally over we walked back to the party and finished up with sparklers and fireworks from the little booths that our friends had picked up. Brynne was finally happy and sporting a blue mustache with such seriousness I couldn't stop smiling at her. <br />

I finally had a few minutes to chat with a few friends. I finally didn't feel like I was being pulled in a million different directions from all of my kids. By the time I came home I wasn't feeling quite so much like Oscar the grouch any more. <br />

It definitely won't go down as one of my best days, but still I recognize that all of these little issues that had everyone all worked up all day were what we jokingly call first world problems. If you're going to have issues in a day these kind are the best ones to have. You can always take a step back from them and know that it could definitely be worse. You can still see all the good around you and be grateful for the blessings in your life. Having said that, I'm not gonna lie, I'm so glad that today is done!justjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07080878186203324890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210104711124209000.post-78849355592759343312014-07-01T18:23:00.002-07:002014-07-01T18:23:46.182-07:00But No Skinny Dipping!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know how sometimes you get too busy to switch the laundry in a timely fashion and so your clothes that were just washed and cleaned and should be smelling all lovely and fresh like Mountain Spring, Clean linen, or April fresh (depending on my mood while shopping) instead smell like the inside of a locker room because that musty moldy smell has attached itself to every article. You know how hard it is to get that nasty smell out of your clothes and towels? And what a nightmare it is if somehow that one stinky load gets dried and folded and put away and then there are just random stinky pieces of laundry in every member of your families drawers and closet. And even worse when your cute kid comes up and wants to give you a big ole hug or snuggle up with you and you're all smiley and happy about it until your nose is completely assaulted by that nasty stench? Yeah I hate that too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few years back I figured out that even with my colors I could fill my washing machine with hot water, pour in a wee bit of bleach and then add your clothes and when the washing machine finishes the cycle that stench is gone. The problem I 've had recently is that we now have a front loading washing machine. These don't allow for me to fill them up with water and then add the clothes, so I haven't been able to figure out how to address those rogue stinky loads. They seem to happen more often lately too. I cant decide if its because we have been so busy since the move and I'm just not getting through my laundry very well anymore OR if it's because these front loading machines have to seal so air tight that it provides a better breeding ground for that mold. Either way I'm dying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been trying to soak my clothing one item at a time in a small storage tub with hot water and a little bleach but it's so dang tedious and I guess I might as well admit to ruining a few items of clothing while trying to make due like this. Then comes along my younger brother who always seems to know the answer to every thing and apparently this includes laundry. My brother isn't supposed to wash his stinky running clothes with the rest of the family's regular non sweaty stinky stuff. Somehow in the process of laundering his running clothes he found out about this little gem of knowledge and I'm going to pass it along to you. He told me all about the little tabs that people use to clean their dentures and how they can be unwrapped and tossed into the front loading washers and they magically take the stink out of your clothes! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first I was a bit skeptical, but finally decided to give it a try. And here's the beautiful thing friends, it really does work! So don't snuggle up with a stinky kid hug while your nostrils are assaulted or give smelly towels to your house guests who will then dry off with them and offend everyone they meet all day long. This is just embarrassing for everyone involved. Swallow your pride and buy denture tabs. Who cares if the chick at the check out counter thinks all your pearly whites are fake? That's not nearly as bad as smelling like a dirty sock all day long. Try it friends. </div>
