That's Not How It Works!

That is so me....in less time than I want to admit :) like, YESTERDAY...ha!

 I post silly rants sometimes about the crazy stuff Brad does....this is my blog, so I can say the irritating things that are so endearing, right?!  Like last night I asked him if he wanted to start doing this beach bod workout with me.  (I wish this workout was just laying out...wouldn't that be nice? :) He doesn't really need it for weight loss, (because he can eat ice cream every night and still weigh what he weighed in high school....no one is bitter about that!), but I thought the toning might be good....so, he agreed.  I am on day five, so I told him what we have to do for that day, but he didn't like that option, He said he should probably start at day one and.... BTW....what is the exercise on that day?  It was supposed to be 50 crunches and 2 60-second planks.  We sent the two oldest girls off to school at 6:35 am, then we had about 30 minutes to do our exercises before the other girls needed to get going for school.  I went downstairs to start mine and heard him counting while he was SLOWLY descending the staircase.  I asked him what he was doing and he said he had already started the timer for his planks....and he was on 17 seconds.

Ummmm, I don't think it works that way!  Good try!

But, seriously.....I thought about this the other day because I just found out about some friend's struggles in their relationship and it caused me to really think about whether I truly appreciate Brad and respect him for who he is to me or if I allow myself into that sinking sand of feelings and reactionary living that is so easy to slip into with those who are closest to us.....taking them for granted is usually "how it works".....But....that's not how it WORKS, right?!  ACTION STEP: (I just feel like this blog isn't finished until I include this :)  If you have a spouse, make sure they know you appreciate them.
