Okay, I'm lame! My husband, Matt, came home from work early to plan a romantic evening for us. He gave Ashley dinner, a bath, went through the whole bedtime routine all while I caught up on my tivo’d shows. Then he lit candles, put on romantic music, and chilled some wine-only to find me asleep before he could un- cork the chardonnay. All I do is tell him he needs to be more romantic, but the minute he tries I come down with a sudden case of narcolepsy! I would love to pretend I’m the kind of wife and mother who can “do it all” but I’m not. In fact I’d love to meet the woman who can. Between working in and out of the house full time I don’t have a free moment. Taking ten extra minutes to condition my hair is actually becoming a luxury! I don’t think having it all is an achievable goal. I just have to remember to appreciate what I do have and prioritize. If I feel pretty o.k. with how I’ve been with my daughter and husband in a span of 24 hours than I’m doing better than most. I just have to keep in mind if I’m going to demand more of a romantic effort from Matt, the least I can do is knock back a shot of espresso on my way up to bed!
