Week 6...ish?

This is kind of fun, right? These are letters on my refrigerator. I've had this little display up since Remi was born. If it wasn't edited so, you'd see all the dust rested on each letter. (I really hate dusting, and honestly don't even think we own any "dusting tools")

Everytime I look at this, It's just a reminder of how much life has changed since Remi was born. This is like a "duh" statement, why wouldn't our liveschange with a child? It's no longer about you or anyone else-your first thought and attention automatically goes to your child. This applies to all regular daily activities such as eating, bathing, bathroom breaks (whether in diaper or in toilet like normal people), playing, going out, etc etc. I always think of Remi first in everything. It's like programmed, there is nothing I can do about, even if I wanted to change it. Because you know, come to think of it... Even after I feed my child a full meal, and make sure she is all done, and ready to get down from her chair and go play... As SOON as I sit down to eat my nicely prepared meal of left overs, or Ramen noodles, my little girl is drooling at my feet. Instantly. Not gonna lie that it can be frustrating at times, but she's just so cute! So even though I wanna scream, "Go play, you just ate you annoying turd!", I say, "Here sweet baby, have some of Mommy's noodles." (this may or may not be completely true). Anyway, you get the point-having children is and should be a completely selfless decision. It's not longer about you, ya understand?!

So as Valentines Day is tomorrow. I realize that my husband and I are not going to have a nice romantic date out on our own. And we started thinking about it, and realized that we don't really want that. Our life has changed so much, and Remi has molded into our every day so nicely that we would enjoy a meal out with all three of us Hallmarks-Glen, Tiff, and REMI. (Please Note::This may change after child #2 or #3. Or when Remi hits that awkward/annoying stage... We shall see.) Not to mention, we went out for our "Valentines Date" on Sunday night after church to avoid the nonsense and crowds on VDAY night. Good luck, everyone! I will be at home sweet home. And I've also offered to watch anybodies kids who want that romantic/quiet night out.... Yes, I may have lost it after a crazy weekend of a stomach virus. That's a whole other story.. and we just won't go there. TMI.

Everyone enjoy your Valentines Day with your lovers!!
