My wife has 2 things today that got he very excited.
1. She was able to save $$$ while shopping at Old Navy. What added to her excitement is that she was able to get something for everyone and that makes her happier than shopping for herself.
2. In an effort to have us eat healthier, my wife has found some recipes for cauliflower and was very excited to make a roasted cauliflower dish tonight.
Both things simply illustrate how much she loves her family...Awesome

Rough morning
So far this morning, my wife has had it pretty rough...
1. Watching the original Clash of the Titans, she went through a Family Guy daisy chain of names from Harry Hamlin to Harrison Ford to Mark Hamill.
2. Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse where Daisy is Rapunzel and the gang have to go get the Rapunzel flower, she asked if that is where the name Rapunzel comes from.
3. Looking at the weather, she saw how it is supposed to be 39 degrees on Thursday. She asked me "What is freezing again"?
When I asked her about how she was feeling, she said that I can't have it both ways. She said that she could be smart or sexy but not both.
I strongly disagree because she does both very well all the time.

Fighting and understanding
My wife is thinking ahead a month about when she will return to work. Her division has just moved buildings and, unfortunately, in the new space, she does not have an office. (Nor do 95% of the people anymore).
When she returns to work, she will have to pump as she is solely nursing our daughter. She is making sure that she will have a quiet, private place to pump where she will not be disturbed. In her notification of this to her boss (and the rest of the chain if command), she is recognizing how other women could bring intimidated by this process of discussing personal information and requesting what is due to her under federal law. Many women might just take the path if least resistance and just use the couch in the ladies rest room.
My wife is not only empathetic of the challenges to other women in the workplace, but she is strong enough to fight for what is right.
To me, that adds up to awesome!
