Happy Mothers Day, indeed.

So, not to sound cheesy, but I am really the luckiest woman in the world.

I made reference to the mother's day present Ben got me, a gym membership, and with every passing minute I get more excited about it. I went this morning for my first trip, scheduled my fitness assessment and familiarized myself with the facility, worked out a little bit. I'd forgotten how much I really love to work out. I had an awesome time. The best thing is, the gym is in my office building, so I can easily go before or after work, or on lunch break even. My goal is to do before work a couple times a week, and lunch break a couple times a week. Ben offered to drop the kids off on the mornings I want to head in early, or pick them up if I wanted to stay late. I can't imagine I'll do much after work though -- I'm not very energized that time of day, plus that will mean more time away from the kids.

But, the point of this story is that I am so grateful to my wonderful husband for coming up with the idea, not backing down when I tried to protest, and making this happen. I've not always been the easiest person to live with these last few years, as I have been riding the hormonal roller coaster of pregnancy, nursing, general motherhood -- but he does an excellent job of putting up with me and I truly don't deserve him sometimes. (This doesn't make it any better when he leaves his dirty socks in the middle of the floor for the quadrillionth time, I'll still probably nag him about that.)
