Diary of 5 :: Week 3

I am seeing... a very full and busy weekend.  We have a water polo game today, band practice, car wash tomorrow and a funeral, and church on Sunday.  Looking forward to some down time by Sunday night - I hope.

I am hearing...the morning news and they've just announced that singer, Etta James, age 73, has passed away at Riverside Community Hospital from complications of leukemia. I love the song "At Last".  Great wedding song, right??

I am smelling...the coffee brewing downstairs.  I'm surprised that I haven't made a cup yet!

I tasted...an amazing caramel apple on Monday.  I actually keep thinking about it - it was that good. LOL! Toffee Nut caramel apple from the Rocky Mountain chocolate company at Lake Arrowhead Village... Have you ever had an Almond Roca?  That's what it was like.  The apple was perfectly sweet and tart at the same time.  For some reason, they taste better from that shop.  =)

Naomi chose the Mini M&M caramel apple.  Her tastes will mature one day.  =)  Kids choose color and fun  first.  That's okay too, right?  

I am feeling...better since I've started exercising again.  I'm so thankful that my sister, Esther, loved me enough to send me some amazing dvds.  They are from the Biggest Loser and I love them.  I've been doing two of them for about two weeks now.  The first week was killer.  I was so sore - especially my ham strings.  "Oh my hammies!!" was something I was saying a lot.  I am actually more tired now at night and I think if I would give in to that, I'd wake up feeling more rested too.
