  Good morning.  Well dh cured the dizzy's yesterday FINALLY.  I remembered the dizzy's from last pregnancy, but it took me awhile to remember the cure LOL  CAFFEINE.  In small amounts it can be a very good thing.  So he made me a single shot mocha (MMMMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMM)  And it was a marvelous cure.   Dizzy's went bye-bye  

  
  

  I have been contraction free for so long (over a week)  that I got brave yesterday and we went for a VERY short walk with the jogger.  It was sooooooooooo nice   The picture on the top is all of us checking out our favorite spot "The CREEK".  Its not a very fancy creek, but it DOES have fish in it, and every so often when we hit this spot on the walk we find them.  Which of course is the high light of the kids walk  

  
  

  Typically Zeria walks, but yesterday she asked if she could ride in the jogger, so she squished in too.  LOL 

  
  

  My ever so clean hubby in this picture was busy doing many around the yard tasks yesterday which is why he looks like something the cat dragged in.  

  
  

  Our date night last night was well...intresting.  Its been our sworn DUTY to NEVER fight or discuss bad things on our date night.  No matter what has occured before we leave.  We flunked last night.  But we needed to flunk.    We needed to have a discussion that didn't always stay polite.  He & I both needed to get things off our chest, and we needed to do it where the kids couldn't here it kwim?  So we did, and though it wasn't fun at all....it did end up resolving most issues.  (I sincerly hope). 

  
  

  It accomplished several things.  I went and bought a bunch of paper bowls & 24 extra spoons so the dishes don't need to be done as often.  He just runs out of time on certain days.  This way if he runs out of time he doesn't feel guilty for not getting it done.  And he has time to sit.  He just hasn't had time for himself, and it was frustrating both of us.    Last pregnancy we lived off paper practically not quite sure why we forgot this time.    He has agreed that after the kids are in bed for the night NO work will be done.  This is "our" time.  He can use it either for sitting, jogging, computering etc.  Oh yeah and snuggling too     It is going to be very very very hard for him to put this into practice, as he's a MAJOR workaholic, but I so hope he does, as he's just getting worn down, and I'm tired of waiting all evening for him to notice he has a wife. 

  
  

  Today as I'm still feeling good, we are gonna have a spur of the moment adventure with the munchkins.  We'll see how it goes.  We are gonna go window shopping in our downtown area.  We want to hit the Bible bookstore for sure, and just see how much energy I have from there.   We NEVER go down there, so it should be fun, and our downtown is quite pretty.  See how this adventure goes. hehehe.    This adventure was part of the discussion, we've just forgotten how to have fun.  We used to take one day a week for "adventures" and lately, its just been push, push, push (for him)  and its getting old.    For both of us.  It takes the joy out of life kwim? 

  
  

  Father God, I thank you that we finally were able to talk.  I pray that things would work out in a way that honors you.  I ask for us all to have fun today, and that we would enjoy you, in your sons name, Amen
