happy father's day

The Hubs is an amazing father. He is so involved with Punkin and takes responsibility for so many things that other husbands just assume that their wives will (or should*) handle. I can't really express how much I appreciate him. I hope he has some idea of the huge help that he is to me. I know I wouldn't be the wife and mother I am without him.

*Don't get me started!

shrink it

Okay, so I've officially joined The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans for their Shrinking Days of Summer Challenge.

I am in serious need of motivation, so I'm hoping this challenge, in it's group format, will be just what I need.

One way I hope to be able to shrink is by exercising more at all. I recently got the EA Sports Active for the Wii and have started the 30 Day Challenge. I haven't exercised in so long I almost forgot what it felt like to sweat so much! I've only done two days of the challenge so far, but man, it's kicking my butt! I'm so sore today, it's ridiculous. But it's a good sore.

I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing and how my team (Team Violet) is doing in the challenge.
