Where did the Butterflies go?

Back at work like most of you after a long 3 day weekend. And I am sure some of yall had the same issues of not wanting to get out of bed this morning. It was rough! Hoping everyone had a nice Labor Day Wkend. Mine was busy, my twins had their first track meet for cross country. The 1st numbers they gave was they ran against 210 kids, but the actual number was 180. And they got 82nd and 85th place. I was still pretty proud. Considering they only had 3 days of practice before the event. And now they seem more motivated, like they know what to expect and what they have to do to make district meet. Cameron even got up before church on Sunday and ran around our land, I was pretty impressed. Looking forward to seeing how far they can go with this.

It seems like I spent my 3 day wkend eating, lots of yummy food. I even baked my very first lemon supreme bunt cake, and it was delicious. If you follow me on face book, you all know Trav works ALOT of hours lately. I think since we have been back from vacation he has put in 180 hrs in 3 weeks! We only saw him on Sundays, while he tried to be a trooper, he was a little on the grumpy side. Well, we FINALLY had a date night, we got together with an old friend and her fiancee. We tried some new Mexican restaurant in South Lake, and it was ok..Not better than El Paseo of course..We than went to Grapevinve mills mall to walk around before we caught the movie. And it was just so sweet to watch a new couple, they still listened to every word each other spoke, and my friends eyes and smile just light up at the touch of her new fiancee. They walked hand in hand, and he held the door open for her and was just super sweet. She is full of those butterflies in the tummy. It made me think and after almost 13 years of marriage, my butterflies are moths..lol And I sure do miss them. We used to do little things for each other to keep the marriage fresh. I used to do little notes in the lunch box, and messages in lipstick on the mirror. Or a card just to let him know I was thinking about him. Trav used to bring home flowers just because, and just call me to let me know he was thinking of me. We used to talk non stop about everything. But man, with schedules like we have now, it makes it difficult to do those extra things. Or we just got lazy, now we take shifts in the bed, and I am lucky if I get a slap on the bottom as we pass in the bathroom. lol We do date day during the week, but it usually is convo going over the latest stuff with the kiddos. So, I am curious to those who read this blog. What kind of tips can you give me to help bring those butterflies back?
