And a sigh just about sums it up

Well, I guess the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" is just about appropriate now. Not a complete bust, but man....when I fall off the short lived wagon, I want to jump right into the abyss and end the day on a high (or low- depending on your view point) note. Now, weekends are "free" workout days. I only planned on working out M-F but this morning, Ben suggested going to the gym so I could lift this morning. We would take the kids and he would let Connor roll around on the wrestling mats. Sounded like a fabulous plan....until Ben couldn't get his butt in gear. It took him 2 hours from the time we "woke up" to the time he actually decided to open his eyes and get up. Pathetic. Must be nice to sit on the recliner with cartoons on to keep Connor occupied while holding Alaina so she stays quiet and continue to sleep, while Mommy does some laundry, cleans up the kitchen and gets things ready and prepped for the day. But, I am also working on strengthing my relationship with my husband so I gently ask him 472 times to please wake up and get moving. Instead of going to workout out, we go to Walmart to get a new propane tank for the grill. I guess this ended up being a good thing because a lot of dinner plans for the next few weeks include grilled veggies, chicken and fish. I did make homemade gazpacho for lunch. Talk about yummy! I was mildly surprised. Full of veggies with a little bit of a kick and paired with a turkey sandwich...yum-o! Oh, and a side note, I bought that dessert gum at Walmart too. It tastes like Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. It gives my mouth something to do inbetween meals when I am itching for something sweet. Spending time with my kids...yep have that one covered too. Last night, Connor and I had a date night to watch Tangled on the big screen under the stars. And when I say big screen I mean big screen!! It was the size of a drive-in theatre. He sat with his girlfriends for the first 20-30 minutes and then after that, Mommy's lap was the seat of choice and I couldn't have been more excited. Connor hasn't cuddled with me like that since he was breastfeeding and was forced to. Every once in ahilw during the movie, I would lay my head back in my chair, look up at the stars with Connor nuzzling under my chin and feel overwhelming blessings. For as frustrating as Connor can make me, he can also be so supremely sweet and loving. Overall, another good day. Wrapping up with baths for everyone and some basketball. Church tomorrow, hopefully a really good sermon will set the week off on the perfect foot.
