one hundred fifty eight

today was a lot of things.

today has been what i've waited for all winter-
it was finally warm enough to go out to play so we got out a bucket, rags, and hose and washed jason's car. alex loves to splash me with any form of available water- water bottle, mug, straight up hose! we played on scooters and trampolines. we played at drew's and got slurpees! yay!

today was a little bit scary.
jax thought it would be fun to play in my car. the next thing you know, he's locked himself in. i'm the retard who left the keys in the car. so it's getting mighty hot in a car with the whole windows up/greenhouse effect going on, and rob and i are trying to tell him how to unlock the door so that we can get to him. he doesn't understand that he's stuck and really doesn't care to focus his attention on our instructions. so he has the keys in the ignition and like most 2 year olds, is playing with every button on the dashboard, one of which is the volume. of course that sucker is blaring from an awesome sound system as he pushes the power button and he freaks out. he just freezes and screams. poor guy! rob realizes that he happened to push the trunk release and so i pop open the little door that feeds through to the middle seat. one, it felt blazing hot in there, and two, only my head fits, so i'm screaming jaxon's name at the top of my lungs, but the music's so loud that he can't hear me. finally there's a break in the music and he hears me through his hysterics and we get him to climb out, but i was starting to get really worried! thank god for the trunk being open and that cut through door! the next problem to be solved was how to get my car unlocked as dirks bentley is blaring through the neighbor hood. at least i listen to good music, right?! (fyi, we popped the lock with an umbrella fed through that same little miracle hole in the trunk.) memo to me, no keys in car when children are playing. sorry to do that to your son alisa.

today was beautiful.
the sun was out, it was warm for once, and the sky was bright blue. it was the perfect weather to get some sun, so i traded my diesel jeans and platforms for a cami top and flip flops. it was delightful.

today was stressful.
i had an exam in my chemistry class and am pretty sure i failed it... i'd been dreading it all day and considered just not showing up, but i did the best i could and that's all i could do, so i'm actually less upset than i thought i would be. i've decided that if i need to retake the class, then i won't have to go to school this summer and can take a break! i know that everyone says to not feel pressured to rush in school, but i'm already behind after taking 2 years off for treatment and i just want to be done! what was i thinking with this double major idea?! but at this point it seems like a waste to drop one of them. and really, i sincerely enjoy them both, so... it's just the chemistry nursing pre-reqs that are making my life so miserable! if i somehow pass with at least a B (melissa will be so happy to hear that i'm lowering my standards), i go to school this summer and stick to the plan of applying for the nursing program this fall... i guess we'll just have to see what happens, but who knows, being forced to wait to apply till next fall and taking the summer off could be a blessing in disguise.

today was entertaining.
OTH was on and it was actually a really inspiring episode. not as full of drama and heartache as some others, but still way funny and super good. how sad that it's my favorite hour of the week!

today was full of planning.
OTH tonight, GNO tomorrow, U vs. BYU lacrosse thursday (go utes!), road trip the first week of may. i'm excited for ALL of it! most of all, i'm excited for a change in schedule and obligations- even if it's just for a few weeks until a new semester starts up.

today was everything.
and i loved it.
