Finding My Nich in the Road to My Dreams

Healthy Habits
Well, I'm not trying to Low/No carb it anymore. I've actually lost 2 lbs since last month, just eating more fresh fruits and veggies. (Today was a back slide day, but tomorrow I'll be right back on). Also this week I've started Billy Blanks Boot camp. Oye! Its so hard! I'm a yoga mama, lets just say, I'm never joining the military! I have allot of respect for those that have gone through real boot camp. My wonderful DH says that's what they do all day for 6 weeks... 1 hour a day is hard enough for me. So I'm switching off each day the 1 hour video on day, and a 30 minute ab video and 30 minutes on my treadmill. It about killed me trying to do both, as out of shape as I am.
So My wonderful Dh Bought my Lizzy (3 yrs old) some phonics flash cards. She likes them. But I'm afraid to push her to hard. So being as she's only 3, when she starts getting fidgety and loses interest, I get her to do something else. We also got her some big toddler, "Go Fish" cards. She's so cute. She throws her arms in the air and yells "Let's Go Fish!" I love it. She also love to play house. She's always "the mom", and Dad's are "the honey" and kids are "the sweetie". My niece was over last weekend, and asked my husband why he doesn't do dishes. My sweet little Lizzy answered (laughing) "Dad's don't do dishes! Dad's go to work. " (Such sweetness, huh?)
I make it very clear to my relatives and friends that I'm not a feminist. And if they are to leave it at my front door, cause no one will come in my husbands home and disrespect him. I actually almost threw my niece's best friend out because of it, but lucky for her she corrected her attitude quickly. I do enjoy my MIL trying to give my husband chores though. Not because I want him put to work but because I love how she gets all worked up when he doesn't do it, lol. She tries to get him to get the kids ready (when I'm already doing it by the way, lol) and he tells her that I'm doing it (smiling quite wickedly I might add) and she practically froths at the mouth, lol. She's a major feminazi. lol. Its mean, but we think of it as slowly de-programing her, lol.
Don't get me wrong! If I need help, knight in shinning armor that he is, he always comes to my rescue. But I don't like my husband having to come home from work and just start working all over again. Its bad enough his school nights are on work days. He really needs a break, and coming home to a clean, non chaotic,  place of rest and relaxation does his life wonders.
So we will be married 2 year on the 31st this month. I just can't wait to say we've been married 50 + years.He's so wonderful!!
Love
Amanda C.
