Still in training

Today was pretty much a failure.

I did manage to read my Bible. Did you know that www.biblegateway.com will actually send you daily Bible reading emails, according to which reading plan and translation you select? Too cool.

I got stuck on those darn window panels because I can't seem to make the math work. Tell your kids that math is important, even when you're a SAHM! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I want the pleats to be just perfect, but the correct formula has, thus far, eluded me.

So because of the project snafu, I'm behind on laundry and I didn't work out. I thought I'd get to work out while the boys slept this afternoon, but they had other plans. I'm beginning to understand why some women enjoy a 5 a.m. workout.

However, I just showered, so at least I smell good.

Tonight is date night. Mason and Jenny, aka the super-sitting couple, aka the parents my kids wish they had, will be here in an hour. I get my handsome husband all to myself, and I get to pick the restaurant. There's nothing I love more than a long, leisurely dinner with food that's better than I could ever prepare on dishes I don't have to do, complemented by a good bottle of wine and a man far more handsome and charming than I deserve.

If you don't have a regular date night with your man, I HIGHLY recommend it. Even if all you can afford is to put the kids to bed early, light a candle and have some mac-n-cheese together, do it. It is a Mary moment not to be missed.
