Mommy's play date.

So, I have this week off, and I have been wondering what to do with my self. I was outside sitting in one of my front porch rockers, just enjoying the sunshine. When I saw all of these women pulling up to the house across the street. Some of them were pushing strollers, some of them drove. I realized I was witnessing a day in the life of the stay at home mom. At least the stay at home mom in my neighborhood. As I sat an rocked I wondered what it would be like if I had a baby. Would these women wave and shout a hello my way ( which, even though they clearly saw me, they did not wave or shoot any salutations) would they invite me over for..... who know what? Baby weighing contests? Little baby parades? Pageants? All I know, is that for me. Little ole' me. Mommy of two dogs, full time worker, and a wife. That the world of mommies is a complete mystery to me.





notice to the woman getting out of her car, and NOT waving at me.

New office.....

Well, you all saw the chocolate..... cave. I didn't know what to do with it, and after trying many different things, I decided to paint it again. Here is the result. It still needs a bed, or a little couch or something. but overall, we like it much better!

Addiction.

I am slightly embarrassed that my last two posts are pretty much dedicated to sweets, and desserts. I guess the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem........

V-Day!

Mushy and I never really do anything for Valentines day. I usually schedule myself to close that night, so that my team can go be lovey dovey. We feel like we always let each other know how we feel, we do nice things for each other, and never go with out a special treat now and again. So we don't really feel the need to spend a alot of money, and hang out with a billion other people on valentines day. But I must admit, that after carrying a very cute, thoughtful and lovely card that I picked out for my hubby, almost 2 weeks in advance, that I was wishing that maybe we would celebrate too. All night at work, I was so excited to give him the card I picked out, and secretly wished that he would do something unexpected for me. I knew deep down in my heart however, that my practical husband would stick to his guns, and not get me anything.
When I got home that night, and I excitedly told him I got him something. " Muffin, he sighed, are you going to make me feel bad for not getting you anything again this year?" I told him he had nothing to worry about, but that I saw the card, and could not resist. He liked the card, and we hung it on the fridge. Then almost 15 min later, I opened the fridge to get a glass of chocolate milk, and there, sitting on the bottom shelf was a card. The letter M. was printed on top, and it was taped to some type of packaging. My face must have looked nuts, I was so excited. I pulled out the box and inside was ..........



My favorite kind of cheese cake ever! We only have 1 cheesecake factory in Utah, and its 1 hour away. And there was a 45 min wait , once you were in line for pick up, until you could get your order. But my unassuming, sneaky Mushy, made the trek, and picked me up something, that he knew would be special to me. And you know what happened. I fell in love all over again. I guess that is what Valentines day is all about.
