This Mommy has jogged 6 days in a row!  Not 6 days in a month or this year but in a row!  Again, Before Tater Tot, not so much of an accomplishment but these days, it definitely is.  It feels good to jog again.  It feels like I’m getting a little stronger.  That’s the feeling I miss!  Feeling strong and physically capable.  Granted, my arms are getting a workout each day lugging The Tater Tot around but I still feel so weak compared to how strong I was when I was running, surfing, and swimming several times each week.  Maybe if I can discipline myself to get to bed at a decent hour, I can even add a weight workout!  Hmmmm…we’ll see.

Today we took a family trip to Costco.  Huh.  Not such a great idea as it turns out.  Costco at 12:45 on any day is not the best time to go.  But today, Princess Tater Tot was particularly fussy and The Mommy had a headache.  Add to that the fact that, as The Daddy points out (correctly, I might add), “We don’t shop well together”.  And we don’t.  We have different shopping styles altogether and, although we have tried to make it work, after 7 1/2 years of marriage, we have come to the conclusion that we just shouldn’t shop together.  Ever.  No matter what.  At least we have a sense of humor about it.  Most of the time. 

We’re just about all ready for Princess Tater Tot’s birthday party on Sunday.  I just have to wrap a few more presents.  I’m so excited that she’s turning one!  It’s so hard to believe that it’s been a year.  We have a friend down the street who is turning one that day, too so we’re going to have a very fun and busy day full of parties!  And Tater’s cousin turns one the week after!  More cake!  Woohoooo!
