Hallelujah!

I have some praises...not your typical praises, but praises nonetheless.

Praise #1: I have finally found a good pair of jeans!! I have been searching since Elle was born--5 years ago! While I desire very much to be a cute, trendy mommy, I do not desire to wear skin tight jeans that allow my belly to hang out and my hiney crack to be exposed. (Think of the special underwear required to wear those kind of jeans!) At the same time, I don't want to wear "mom" jeans. I was ready to drop $300 if I had to. Thank you Lucky Brand Jeans!

Praise #2: Cannon slept through the night for the first time in his 6 1/2 months of life! He went down at 9:00 pm and I had to wake him up at 7:15 am. So, it can be done. Of course, as you suspected, he has not done it again since. In fact, he has been up more each night than before he slept through the night. Calgon, take me away!

Praise #3: The gym...ahhh, the gym! The one I love most after God, my husband and children. My sanity. I'm an avid worker outer, an athlete...hard core. It's always hard getting back to the gym after having a baby. Mostly because I worry about leaving my sweet, helpless child(ren) with those young, non experienced, not so observant nursery workers in the land of chaos. But there comes a time when mommy needs to be healthy and sane. Besides, it's just an hour and I'm in the room right next door or right in front of the nursery door. That's okay isn't it? Anyway, it's been a slow start, but I'm taking a class here and there and saving my pennies so I can hire my trainer again. Long live the gym!!
