S and I are slowly getting our marital feet back under our selves. Its been a long week in that regard. We watched “THE OFFICE” last night together after Will went down, which is unheard of recently in our routine, but a step towards some more regular together-time. We have ‘date night’ this Saturday, which will be another chance to be alone together.

I had MOPS last night, which was fine. Will did well in the nursery, which I was thankful for since he wasn’t super impressed with it the last time. Its always a relief to pick him and hear that he did well.

At MOPS, we decoupage’d clear plates intended to be our family’s “special” event plates and I’m torn about this. On the one hand, really – how infantile for a bunch of grown women to sit around doing crafts that most kindergarteners could do. I would rather have a really engaging speaker or group discussions on what it means to be a mom, a wife, a woman…on the other hand, decoupaging is fairly relaxing from “turn-the-mind-off” standpoint, which is something I really need more of. I just get concerned that women are turning towards these types of activities as a source regeneration when ideally there should be a wider choice of more complex/intellectual/thought-provoking options out there for us. And there are. I guess I need to remember that this is a particular group, with particular commonalities, particular goals/contexts and that it isn’t necessarily representative of the universe of women’s’ interactions.

Work is insane. Its makes the prospect of a newborn baby sound relaxing.
