8 minutes

-
At 7:11 pm I told Hugh we had a date night at 8 pm to watch The Walking Dead. I am down to 8 minutes, so this is going to be quick. So far I have spent my 49 minutes walking, hugging Calder for 13 seconds (a bit of bonus time for me) and editing some photos.

I made my goal for the month of January to go on the treadmill 3 times a week and write once a week. I nailed both. (For the record, the last week I only went on the treadmill twice, but our entire house had the puking flu, so I thought that was even above and beyond.)  As for February, I had a man-cold to start the month. I have no idea what that is, but everyone is saying it and I had it BAD. I am still sick, but I am so much better that I am telling people I am healthy. I am back on the treadmill boat for March!

The blogging may be my favorite part of my January goal. I have LOVED pounding away at the keyboard. It really solidifies that I need to write to be my best me. I enjoy it so much. I also need to stay on top of my photos and videos. Tomorrow is March and I will officially be two months behind. It is my goal this week to at least get to being only one month behind.  I am still trying to figure out the best way to manage my time now that I am back to work. I am happy to report that I am starting to get the hang of it.

 These may look familiar if you follow me on Instagram, but I had to include a shot of the kiddos.
I was in the computer room on the weekend when I heard Boone chanting, "Look my big boobs!  Look my big boobs!" He has two of Lawson's balls up his shirt. My giggle and request for a photo may result in a repeat performance, but it was totally worth it.
Look at his teeth!  This boy cracks me up.
A smile caught on film! Please ignore my crows feet. They seem really pronounced in this shot! LOL
Happy Monday!

Oops, that was 15 minutes. Gotta go.

    I read your post a couple of days ago and have been trying to shift my thinking from Logan and I "just" watching TV to thinking of it more as a "date" to watch our favorite show. This is working for me. Lately, I've been feeling like we are just too tired/busy to make an effort to spend quality time together but I am trying to think of our time on the couch as quality time. As we watch our favorite shows we laugh a lot, talk about the characters, plot and how we might react in particular situations. Thank you for reminding me that our time together is what we choose to make of it.

4 hours off

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

Image
     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
