Ahhh, another birthday came and went yesterday. Overall, a very pleasant day. For the first time, I found myself begging my children not to blurt out to everyone that I was another year older! In honor of turning another year older (and in recognition of what almost 10 years of motherhood has done to my body), I enrolled my husband and I in a local gym today. Hubby went tonight  and enjoyed it. I hope to go tomorrow, with fond wishes for not embarrasing myself on the equipment. I am not so foolish as to wish a return to my pre-child body; I am merely hoping to get to the point I can button my pants without serious help!

Ahhh, after a week of weather so hot my flesh almost sizzled away after seconds outdoors, it rained tonight! It should be cooler tomorrow. Honestly, I shouldn’t complain at all as, for Texas, this summer has hardly been hot.
