The Plunger Master

Have you ever had one of those moments where swear you can do something and then immediately afterwards the universe presents the opportunity to prove whether or not you can? Well last night Claudia and I swore to my husband that we could declog the bathtub on our own and it wasn't something that only he knew how to do. Of course today what gets clogged but the toilet! The universe couldn't throw us a bone and have the bathtub clog... oh no it had to be the toilet. At the time, Claudia was in the middle of cleaning the bathroom and I was on baby duty so the nasty task fell to her. Prior to last night, the first thing I would have done was call my husband or simply wait for him to come home from work to fix it but since I had just sworn that we could do it on our own we HAD to fix it without involving him.

Date Night With My Hubby

Once a week my husband and I are given an amazing treat and opportunity to have date night. Yep...date night. A night out on the town, just the two of us. Tonight is that night and do you know how we are spending it? In a night club, you say? Yeah right! No we are sitting here at home in our pj's, watching tv, drinking our adult drinks, and working on our laptops. And its AWESOME! Its amazing how you take for granted the ability to do the simplest things like watch tv before you have children. In fact, I can't even remember what we did before we had our daughter on a Saturday night. When I was pregnant everyone told me that having children would change everything. I am still not sure if having our daughter changed everything but having her definitely changed me and I know it changed my husband. We have never been the "night club type" but whatever we did on a Saturday night before just doesn't seem so important anymore. I mean come on...it was so important that I can't even remember what it was we did! So lets raise our glasses and toast to date night on the couch.

The Workout Battle

Today working out won the battle! What battle you ask? The internal battle that occurs every time I contemplate working out. You know how it goes... "I need to work out but I don't want to work out. I hate working out but you need to work out. Just do it! But I don't want to!" When working out wins that's a big accomplishment in my book.

Beginnings

Thats me...on the right! In the picture, I am 6 months pregnant with my daughter Claudia Mia Hope. The very handsome man on the left is my husband, the love of my life. And the beautiful women in the middle is my sister (not by blood but by spirit) and the godmother of my daughter, Claudia.
