1. 3 people are on "spring break" (I didn't realize grown adults with careers took spring breaks)
2. It's St. Patrick's Day
3. (most important) U of L and UK are playing their first tournament games today.
I knew it'd be a pretty lax day today, but this far exceeds my expectations. Hence, my decision to start a blog.
This week brings about 2 things: I have now been a mother to a human baby for 3 1/2 months and I am finally working on shedding the baby weight. Although, it's not really fair to call it the baby weight. It's unfair blame to The Dude. He didn't make me buy all those $5 boxes from Taco Bell. And eat all the cookies and candy (I blame that one on my boss for getting a vending machine.) Hell, I've gained ten pounds since I popped him out. Why did I choose this week to start the shedding of my fat ass? Well, for one, it's been 3 1/2 months since I had The Dude. And secondly, I had two people tell me this week that I'm basically not physically capable of running the 6.2 mile leg of the marathon. There is nothing that burns me more than someone doubting me so I am now on a quest to prove them wrong.
Besides being a fatty, everything else in my life is pretty fabulous. My husband is pretty much the best person ever. Seriously, the comments from guests at our wedding were as follows:
"Stem, you are an example for mankind. If everybody in the world was like you, we wouldn't have any problems...And Amy, you looked so beautiful in your dress." (To be fair, it never hurts to appeal to my vain side)
My baby girls are amazing, despite what some close-minded idiots might like to try to tell you. (I have 2 pit bulls. We'll delve into that later.)
And The Dude. I seriously didn't know it was possible to love something so much. Or for a baby this cute to exist. Seriously, my son is a-freakin-dorable. And such a sweetheart. I can't wait to see where he grows from here. I know he'll be a fine, young man because his mom and dad wouldn't have it any other way.
And there's my job. It's in the insurance industry (which, incidentally is NOT going to crash and burn because of reform.) But the cool part is the people I work with. And my boss. He's let me bring The Dude in since I came back from maternity leave. He has started going to daycare, but can still come in "a couple days a week". I keep it to one day, cause I have an awesome daycare and don't want to lose his spot.
As I type The Dude keeps nodding off. If I touch his head, he flings his head back, spreads his arms out and breathes in deep. Then he slowly falls back asleep and his head falls forward. It's amazingly adorable.
