Tomorrow night my husband has big plans for us.
For the past few years, every January the two of us sit down for a special evening of future planning.
We have supplies: a good dinner, pens, paper, a list, a calendar and a bottle of wine.
We set goals. For ourselves individually, for our family, for the two of us as a couple.
We makes resolutions. We challenge ourselves. We make goals and say them out loud so we become accountable for...

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”
Currently:
- a little bit frazzled
- somewhat exhausted
- on the way to the playground for some fresh air
- determined to enjoy what may be last beautiful day of the year (in terms of weather)
- loving little girls in sunglasses, pink painted baby toes, and a certain boy who hears a good song and immediately yells “turn it up!”
- craving guacamole and a good drink
- missing friends

Winner, winner date night dinner
Last weekend, at her daycare Fall Fair, Daughter won a prize for guessing how many candy corns were in a jar.
She guessed 1,400. The correct number was 1,420. (she’s 3- so this pretty much helped confirm my child is a genius.)
She won the jar of candy. She also won parent date night for her family. i.e. the kids stay at daycare all evening with friends eating pizza, watching movies,...
When you guys are some place super serious like a work conference, a courtroom, church, etc. you wonder what would happen if you got up and started running around screaming while ripping your clothes off too, right? Ok, good. Glad it’s not just me.

Today is my husband’s 1/2 birthday. (We celebrate them in our family.)
The other night our marriage was a rockstar. A “to do” list longer than Santa’s Nice list was getting me down, we got a late start to our evening and both of us were feeling generally overwhelmed.
But we tackled everything as a team.
“Ugh, I don’t want to do this!”

Is it bad that I think what he did was funny?
(Setting: As I walk in the back door after getting home from work and see son...)
Me: Hey Buddy! How was your day?
Son: [looks at me with sad puppy dog face]
Me: What's the matter?
Husband: He got in trouble at school today. And we already talked about it and it was a misunderstanding but he's still upset because he got in trouble.
Me: What happened?
Husband: Well, [son] was in the cafeteria at lunch today and he was sitting with Jack. And Jack was upset because his cat died yesterday night. Jack told everyone that the cat got hit by a car because someone left their back door open. And as soon as he said that [son] busted out singing...
Son: Who Let the Dogs Out?
Me: [Start dying laughing]
Husband: That was my same reaction.
Son: But Jack didn't think it was very funny.
