This photo is actually from New Years but it is the only photo we have in the past five months... does that mean our life is getting boring? Or just uneventful?

Now with John Mark posting I feel the urge to step-up my blogging. Otherwise, I am afraid 'Tour de Baldwins' will become a blog solely on biking adventures. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Saturday morning, pre-season 45 mile (with extreme hills) bike ride. It did however leave us totally worthless for the rest of the weekend.

John Mark has left me for the day to continue his biking adventures with his boys (should I be offended?). It's probably a good idea that I'm NOT riding this morning considering how it started...

I woke around 3:30am with a charlie horse in my left calf. It felt like it lasted for almost a minute- I was thrashing around in pain as my husband slept purring next to me. However, a few hours later he mentioned that I had been pounding my pillow in the night. I kindly told him, "no, I was actually in extreme pain, trying to massage out the knot, but yes, thank you for helping." I decided to be a good wife and help my husband get ready for his day with the boys. So my already wonderful morning continues with first clogging the toilet to then realizing I hadn't cleaned the toilet in a few weeks. Two things I've learned since marriage: 1. how to declog a toilet; 2. how to clean a toilet. Wow, it's only 7:30 and look what I have already accomplished. Next, I go downstairs to get the coffee going. I look over a few minutes later only to see coffee and coffee grinds spewed all over our countertops. Oops, forgot the paper filter! Are you serious?!?! Honestly, I should go back to bed. I wonder what the rest of the day will hold? Do I dare adventure out for a run?
