Time for Myself

<----- MY 3 BOYS!!!


I actually got time for myself this evening!! I went to my yoga class that I haven't been to in a month (classes got cancelled for Christmas eve, then New Year's Eve) so it was nice to go. I had dinner waiting for Chris when he got home so he didn't have much to do besides care for the boys. Just a tiny part of me feels guilty when I leave, but I know that it's time well spent. I always feel so much better about myself. :-) There wasn't anyone in the class...totally empty which surprised me because usually with the New Year and everyone vowing to get into shape, it's packed.

On to news about the boys...
Jake went all day with no accident!!! Same pair of pants and undies that I sent him in the morning!!!! This is incredible news!! I rewarded him by letting him pick out a "treat" at the store and he picked Oreo's of course, which he loves. He only eats the insides though....ha ha! He had an accident this evening, but was very upset about it....crying and embarrassed. I didn't make him feel bad though. He is trying. I am amazed at the level of conversation that I can have with him. It's so fun!! When I came home from the gym, he said, "Momma, I missed you so much! I'm happy to see you! Hold me!" I melted right down to the floor and cuddled with him. He loves to play with my hair (he's kinda obsessed...LOL)

I miss Michael. He goes to bed so early (I guess I should be happy about that) that I didn't even get to spend more than an hour with him. :-( He is sleeping soundly now, on his side/belly of course, since that is his new thing. I can't wait for the weekend to spend all day with them.

Tomorrow is actually my "Friday" since I'm taking Friday off for Chris's surgery. That will probably be motivation to roll my rear out of bed tomorrow morning..he he he... Chris isn't even scared or nervous. Maybe as it gets closer he will...who knows... I wonder how much "care" he'll need this weekend. I guess I'll be playing nurse too (and not in a good way.... ha ha).

I have to take some more videos of the boys. I'll do that this weekend. I have to finish my Christmas thank you cards. Gosh, does the "to do" list ever shorten?

Gosh, it's so calm and quiet in the house right now, it's weird. I like it!!
