I have a yucky headache today, but I really want to write about yesterday. I had a day with my husband to celebrate my graduation from grad school. My in-laws watched the kids from 11am until we got home after 11pm. That's a really long day for them.
Anyway, at first my husband was a pain in the butt. (Nothing can ever be simple or just go smoothly). But after I got teary eyed at the water park, he snapped out of it and got better. We rented a hotel room that had an indoor water park (the hotel, not the room ) So we spent a little time at the water park (that's where he was crabby, even though this was his idea )
Then we went back to the hotel room to shower and spend some time alone. Then we had dinner at an Irish pub that we've been wanting to try for a while. And we saw the Star-Spangled Broadway show. It was a very good show.
I so enjoyed the day. It was wonderful. I honestly can't remember the last time I spent the entire day alone with my husband. I think it was before we had kids! We really re-connected and bonded again. I feel like our marriage is much stronger just because of that time alone yesterday. (But I know we have to keep it strong). We talked about how we need to go out on more dates and he agreed. So I hope we can at least do more evening dates together.
I missed the kids alot, but that's always good. It felt great to get away from them (that sounds awful, but you know what I mean.)
I didn't worry about food and I didn't do too bad either.

The only thing was I wore the new skirt and blouse that I bought for this occasion. My stomach pooched out and it was driving me crazy. I would walk by a mirror or window. Sometimes I would think I looked okay, and other times I thought I looked fat. I don't think I chose the most flattering style, but it's hard to shop for clothes (or anything for that matter) with a 3yr old and 1 yr old.
My husband kept telling me that I looked great and sexy :inlove: and not to worry about my stomach. And I'm so glad he feels that way, but it's bothering me since I haven't had this stomach in a year.

Okay, on to today.

Exercise Report
I feel like such a schlub. I did not exercise today because I was exhausted this morning and this afternoon and evening I've had a horrible headache.
Tomorrow is spin class and maybe I'll try to make up for the lower body workout that I missed today.

Joy Report
I took a nap when the kids went down because of my awful headache. It's a little better now, but I'm going to bed early for sure. It still hurts, but not as bad as earlier. So the nap was the thing I did for myself today.

Grattitude Report
I am just so thankful for that day yesterday. We are still feeling the effects today and are more affectionate than usual. I am so happy to report good news about my marriage for once!
