1. Nick’s first movie Saturday was a huge success and the entire day ended up being just for Nick. My mom and I spoiled him all day. It’s rare that he gets undivided attention these days, so that was nice.

2. Nick has been scared of leaving the pool steps all summer and yesterday, when nobody was paying attention, I got him to stand in the shallow end. He was so surprised that he could touch bottom! I’m so proud!

3. My husband and I had a date night yesterday and it was awesome! We just did our usual thing, going to BWW. We had blueberry beer and lots of deep fried goodness.

4. I have been trying to be such a great wife and mother, and I think I’m finally finding a balance between that and being ME.

5. Thanks to the encouragement of my friend Nicole, I am back to writing for the first time since college. Yeah, I write a blog, but I’m talking about fiction. I used to be really passionate about it, but when I had kids, lost the time and drive.

6. Some days I get really burned out on cooking and I just want to have ice cream for dinner. I never do, though.

7. I have not worked out in weeks and I plan to get a work out in tonight, no matter what! I have to do something about all the junk I consumed over the weekend.

8. Nick has gotten into this terrible habit of lying to get out of something he doesn’t want to do. Luckily for us, he’s a horrible liar and well tell the truth with a little prodding.

9. I am on a cupcake-making kick… good for my family, not good for my waistline.

10. I did a good deed Saturday for a complete stranger and I’m still thinking about her. Was she scamming me? Did she really need help? I’ll never know.
