Happy Hump Day

I am not sure who coined the phrase “hump day” but it’s kind of silly. What if you don’t work a Monday – Friday type of job (like Max)…is Wednesday really a hump day then?

This week is just flying by for me. I had the best weekend and I am having the best week to follow it. Nothing spectacular has happened to me. I didn’t win the lottery or get offered a job all of a sudden that I simply cannot refuse…I am just happy to be alive! We live in a crazy world and now with this swine flu scare, it has gotten even crazier. So I say, be the best version of yourself that you can be each and every day and count your blessings…

I think I can officially say that Magnus is now used to the gym’s childcare. Yipppeee! When I dropped him off this morning, he saw his “girlfriend” and immediately went to her. He just walked right through their secured child-proof door and didn’t even say g’bye to me. Not a wave. Nothing. The old me would have been sad but ever since his crazy tantrum a couple of weeks ago, I know that space is a great thing for us. I had the best workout this morning and then picked him up, went home and had lunch and he went straight for his nap. This is an early nap too. This nap guarantees that he’ll be in bed by 9pm tonight. Or even 10pm. Either way, this is a good thing and will allow me to get him up early tomorrow morning in order to hit the gym again. As I said in an earlier post, I prefer to go to the gym in the morning since it’s less crowded. Plus, I feel better throughout the day when I work out in the morning. J I hope to continue this schedule during the week and then I’ll have the weekends off to relax.

This past Sunday, my friend Carrie hooked me up with her friend, Melissa, who does photography as a hobby. We met up at Inniswood Metro Gardens, which is just one of Columbus’ many beautiful parks. The weather was perfect and Melissa was gracious enough to provide me with a “sneak peek” at a few pictures. I am so excited about these pictures and cannot wait to see the rest. Melissa, you did a fabtastic job and you are definitely hired as our family photographer! You can check out the pictures here: http://circlethesunphotography.blogspot.com/2009/04/little-more-man-little-less-tulips.html

They’re gorgeous, right? Thanks a bunch Melissa and thanks to Carrie for introducing us!

Until next time…
