Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!! I honestly hope that everyone enjoyed and celebrated over the weekend, because to start off a week eating chocolate on a MONDAY is NEVER a good thing! And if you did enjoy today, finish it, enjoy, and be done with it. Don't let it cloud the rest of your week. It's like I say to my clients there is ALWAYS going to be a reason to eat something bad, always... a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, a wedding, a shower, a party, girls night, weekends, giving in to each and every one can be the demise of a progress, and what makes bad eating a lifestyle instead f clean eating. Choose your battles wisely.
So valentine's day to me is a day for rookies lol its all mushy gooshy romantic when you're dating I guess, but for me since I've been married and have had kids, it seems like a forced commercial love day. I just don't really get into that much. I remember when Bianca was little Ern use to get us flowers and I thought it was sweet don't get me wrong but to spend $100 dollars on something that's going to die, I've outgrown that phase I guess - I know I'm not a typical girl. I mean I have used it as an excuse to have a nice dinner out, or buy a fun present here or there, but it's just not that big a deal to me. I also have a husband that will get me a random, out of the blue, I love you so much, just because card, and that to me means so much more. I do have fun celebrating with the kids. Getting their valentines together and ready for their classes, baking, doing crafts, I love that they love it, so that makes it fun. Last year I got them matching lollipops and shirts and we saw Disney on Ice, we always find an excuse to make stuff about them really.
This year I did however get a little extra sentimental, and its not mushy love sentimental - I love my husband EVERY DAY, but it was a big day for my daughter that made me reminisce. I tried not to make a big deal about it, but today at 10 years old, in the fifth grade, she got her first Valentine Carnation from a boy at school. I know no big deal really, very innocent sweet gesture. But it's just another sign that my baby is growing up right before my very eyes. I know it's SUPPOSE to happen. That's life - the sun rises, the sun sets, we get older, they get older. But no parent is EVER READY for their baby to grow up. And she is hitting little milestones left and right, and a proud as I am of her, they do break my heart a little each time. I just want to keep her LITTLE FOREVER. I know its not possible, but this is my irrational mommy side that says I don't care. LOL
♥ Fact of life: By the time you realize,what your parents said was right. You will have a child, who begins to think, you are wrong. ♥
So in honor of valentines day on facebook it was going around to post a picture of you and your husband/significant other. Be sure to post how long you've been together. We have been together since August 13, 1998. ♥ Married since January 15, 2000 ♥ This picture was taken up north in June of 2000, Bianca was three months old, we were newly weds, and we were babies LOL
I wouldn't change a thing, I Can say I LUCKED OUT! ;)
As a mother I think of how my parents must have felt letting go of their baby and it brought this song into my head: LOVE IT! HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY!
End of the week TRAINING and update on Progress BLOG COMING!! LOL Enough of this MUSHY STUFF! haha
