Hello girls night coming up this weekend, as well as a dinner date (soon, hopefully!) with my BFF! I just need to squeeze a date night in there as well, and I'll be set.
Hello spontaneous trip to my parents house last week. It was a quick visit, just a night, but it did my body good! I love spending time with my Mama... and scoring some wicked shopping deals. :)
Hello beginning to plan Jaxon's 4th birthday next month! I've decided to do "big" parties every other year going forward, so this will be a low key pizza and cake get together with family. I don't know why I feel guilty about not having a big event... I'm trying to just enjoy it instead of spending so much money and time in party details.
Hello losing another 10 pounds since this post... 44 pounds lost. One of my new years goal is to not lose any more weight, but to lose the body fat. Right now I'm at 35%, and I need to be between 20-25%. Don't confuse body fat with BMI percentage, that thing is a joke. Body fat is simply the fat on your body versus the muscle.
Hello more sleep issues with Jaxon. He did *so* good for a couple weeks and I totally chalked it up to cutting out the Red Dye, and yet last night he was up from 1:30am-4am. Wide awake. During this time, he managed to turn the tv on, play downstairs, find the iPad that we always hide before bed and watch movies, helped himself to a piece of toast that was left out on the counter (no butter or anything on it..yuck), AND worst of all... let Charlie out of her kennel. He says "but Mom, I just wanted someone to watch the movie with me." Ha!! So of course at this point, we know there's pee somewhere in the house, since he didn't take her outside, and ask him if she peed anywhere. He says "yes, on the chair... but I cleaned it up with a napkin." Of course now my recliner is stained (hopefully it will come out with a little elbow grease) and the 'napkin' he used was a single square of toilet paper. So that's helpful.
Hello feeling downright discouraged about parenting. I just feel so unequipped and incapable. While I know those are lies and I'm choosing to not believe them, today has been especially tough.
Hello slloowww photography season. I'm trying to remember it will start picking up again soon, but it's getting sad. Anyone need some Valentines Day pictures? :)
Hello two boys who desperately need haircuts this week.
Hello another cup of coffee calling my name. With a night like last night, I need some fuel for the rest of the day!
What are you saying hello to this week?
