First World Problems
Monday — We only had clean soup spoons and Perrin only likes to eat with teaspoons.
Tuesday — Jack slipped peanut butter on his pants and had to clean them with extra detergent.
After the gym tonight, a rash broke out on my forearm and I found four blisters on my foot.
I forced my whining about my discomfort on Jack.
“First world problem — gym injuries.”

8 years ago today, we decided that we were going to get married.
Our first “I love you”s.
It may have been fast.

We started dating on November 5th, 2002 — the first Tuesday in November, Election Tuesday. Juliet was, of course, born on the Superest of all Tuesdays, November 4th, 2008.

“To move.”
“Move? Oh, I thought you said sex.”

Today was a sad day.
I cried hot tears. I sobbed. I smiled for the one second that I thought things were changing and, then, when I realized they were not, I cried harder.
I window-shopped and real shopped with my mom and the kiddos. I laughed hysterically at Juliet walking in her new shoes. Thanks, Mom! for the new sneakers, boots, and Halloween costumes.
We met Jack for dinner....
i love that when finn goes back to sleep, after nursing for a couple of hours, and i get my side of the bed to myself, you are just as happy as i am that i get to sleep on my stomach and you cheer “yay! tummy time!”
sometimes, we say whole sentences at the same time, without planning too, and then say the exact same thing in the following sentence
and, we both hate the term “man-cave”
and, it is things like this that make me completely positive that we are right for each other.
Thank you for starting my morning with news about iced pumpkin spice coffee.
And for answering calls about Finn peeing on your side of the bed.
And for answering second calls about Finn face planting into aforementioned urine and rubbing his face in it,
