Super Wife

Ok...I realize that to most people this is a no big deal thing however, it made me feel like a super wife. I, Pina Marie, unclogged the toilet!!!

So, here is some personal background. I come from a family with amazing men. My father took out the trash, fixed everything on the cars (even checked the oil for me) and ALWAYS unclogged the toilet. If there was a clog and my dad was not home, no problem! Just close the lid and use the master bathroom until my dad came home from work and give the gross task to him after a long day of working at a job he disliked to provide for us. He is the dad, that is what they do right?

So, when I moved out of my parents house, before I got married, I took it upon myself to take out the trash and check the oil on my car...but I have never used a plunger. Today, my usual friday babysitting gig was canceled so I am home all day. And the toilet was clogged.

My first instinct to close the toilet, and wait until my hard working, stayed up all night last night studying, exhausted, sweet, and incredibly handsome husband came home after being in class ALL day today.... I made the noble decision that today was the day to rise above myself, to be a strong woman! I would unclog the toilet!!!

And I did...and it wasnt hard...and I feel amazing. Go ahead and make fun of me...I dont care. I am a super wife!

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte
