Midweek Confessions

Oh boy...

I still haven't gotten the pictures up that I was too lazy to work with on Monday. Yep. LAZY.

I have a valid excuse though! I have been reading "Catching Fire" which is the second Hunger Games book and it has sucked.me.in. I'm 3/4 done with it and cannot wait to curl up with it tonight while Mike watches (boring) tv.

I was banking on a snow day today so much so that I literally did not do certain things subconsciously because I thought I would have time to do them today. Of course, the snow was not working in my favor and to work I went (with wet hair and just enough diapers to get Josie through daycare but probably not enough for tonight). I guess you just can't wish things to happen like that.

I am supposed to be training for a 10K but can only do 2 miles right now. That's like not even 1/3 of it. I cannot get myself to run for more than a mile on a treadmill so I have been telling myself that I am working on my speed. For one mile, which only takes me about 10 minutes. That's not a real workout, but don't tell me that at 5:45 AM! And it's snowing, which just brings on the despair as I wait for nice outdoor running weather.

I haven't meal planned this week at all because Mike was gone for one day and I switched that to all week in my head when I was grocery shopping. Therefore we will be creative. Makes a girl nervous though. You may be wondering what I eat when Mike is gone? I have Smart Ones practically screaming my name in the freezer downstairs. I keep buying more even though I never eat the previous purchased meals so it's becoming quite the stock pile.

Linking up! Read the other confessions too. They make the day better.

Weekend Update

This will be the most boring weekend update ever.

1. We watched TV in the living room. Josie explored the whole room numerous times and decided that her favorite place is the coffee table and everything on it. Joy for us, who gets to move everything around while she tries to grab each item.

2. We went to church and battled the weather. It actually wasn't that bad but we've been spoiled. Now that Josie has a big girl car seat, she has to be brave and bear the elements too. (bare? bear?) She could really care less, but this crazy mama is always concerned that she's going to lose her foot or hand from frostbite.

3. The rest... the rest you will see pictures of throughout the week. Truth: my camera is upstairs and I'm too lazy to go get it. So I'll do it later.


Happy Monday!

Flashbacks

Finally! The pictures you have all been waiting for. I did the best I could scanning them with my tablet. Forgive the quality. How fun is it to look back and see shades of ourselves? I love to see the exact moment when someone starts to really look like him or herself. Fascinating...

I want to tell you what I think but I will wait until you've looked for yourself.

Really, parents? This is the best family photo you could give me in my own baby book? Sorry - just couldn't resist this comment even though I said I'd let you think for yourself. ;)

And just so you can see some side-by-sides:

Life.

So far this weekend has consisted of TV watching, climbing, exploring (the living room), eating a big breakfast, napping (for those under one year), and spending time together.


It's a good life, this little life I have.
