Turning Frowns Upside Down {Project 365: Day 9}

Today was just one of "those" days.

Baby N woke me up much earlier than I wanted to be. I was definitely WAY exhausted when we got up.

I absolutely did NOT want to do my workout but I pushed play and did it anyway. I'm so glad that I did. I felt great afterward!

When Baby N woke back up from his nap, we were playing together. I was holding him, standing on my lap and he decided to vomit right down my shirt. It was awesome!

Later, I was feeding him some oatmeal for second breakfast.

I gave him a big bite JUST in time for him to sneeze. All over me!

Then he proceeded to kick the bowl of oatmeal out of my hands.

This was all before 9am!

Little Butt woke up in an ornery mood. She was kind of a butt head all the way up until she went to school.

By the time she got out of school, she was in a much better mood, and so was I!

We came home to play and watch Rent.

Luckily, our day ended a lot better than it started.

Even Baby N was feeling a bit silly by the end of the day.

How was your day today?

Ladies Who Lunch {Project 365: Day 8}

Sometimes, after I drop Little Butt off at school, I decide to have some semi-adult time. 

Basically, that means that Baby N and I head to lunch with my Mom and Baby Sis.

Today, we decided to go to Olive Garden.

I know it's not REAL Italian, but whatever. I still love the place!

I had originally gone thinking that I would have the soup, salad, and breadsticks. But they had this amazing looking new dish that I just had to try.

I won't lie. It was pretty fantastic. But after some calamari, soup, salad, and breadsticks...I pretty much had about 3 bites then boxed it up to go.

Not only was it us 3 ladies and Baby N, but my nephew D-money came with us.

Now, D-money is 4. And he's Autistic.

So trying to take a picture of an Autistic 4 year old goes about something like this

Or this

Baby Sis looks great in both pictures. D-money? He could use some work.

But then...

You catch moments like this

And everything just falls into place.

He's such a sweet boy and he is so loved. He's extremely loving for an Autistic child as well. He's pretty awesome, I won't lie.

What is NOT awesome though, is trying to carry my 17 pound, 5 month old chunky monkey in his infant carrier seat after having done a P90X arm workout that morning. Nope. Not fun at all.

The only other really eventful thing we did today was to go mail a package to The Hubble. He's about to get hit with a book bomb! I hope he's ready for it!

Now, what's your favorite restaurant?

Baby N Turns 5 Months! {Project 365: Day 7}

Okay guys. I warned you I was going to blog twice in one day. I figured that since no one really reads blogs on Sunday, let alone Sunday night, it would be okay.

Actually, I think it's funny that now that I'm blogging more regularly, I lost a follower. I do try to tell people that I'm really not that fun! LOL!

All I talk about is my kids and weight loss.

There's not much else to talk about though. I could whine and complain that The Hubble is not here, but that's DEFINITELY no fun! Ha!

Anyway. I am completely amazed at how quickly time is flying.

I CANNOT believe that Baby N is already 5 months today!!!

He's getting to be such a big boy!

I keep thinking that he's behind because he doesn't really know how to control his arms completely yet. But he's been grabbing onto things more often.

He has started rolling. A lot.

I've had to start laying him in the middle of the room now so that he will have plenty of room to roll before he runs into something.

He LOVES to play with and eat his hands. And he has even started reaching down and trying to grab his feet, though I don't know if he understands what he's doing.

He talks ALL.THE.TIME!

Seriously. He babbles constantly. I thought boys were supposed to be more quiet than girls. He is definitely not the strong silent type.

Strong, yes. Silent, no.

Either way, he's tons of fun and I just can't get over how big he's getting already. Can time just slow down please??

Is time going super fast for anyone else or is it just me???

In other news, I made out like a bandit at the Annual RE-Giftmas Party. I got a small bottle of Russian Vodka, a purse size planner, and... a #1 Texas Longhorns Fan License Plate! Sweet!!!

Resolutions {Project 365: Day 6}

Yesterday was all about setting goals and resolutions for the New Year.

Last year, you would never hear me say that I was going to make a New Year's Resolution. I thought they were pointless and only for breaking. 

I was only into making goals for myself. I figured those were easier to keep.

Recently, I was informed that resolutions ARE harder to keep. And for good reason. Setting a resolution is much deeper than just setting a goal. I can make any kind of goal. But it take dedication and determination to "resolve" yourself to make a change.

The reason I'm talking about this is that yesterday I had a big Resolution Rally party. It was a great time! We all got together and tried the Body by Vi shakes, talked about our fitness/health goals for the year, and just had fun. 

We even ended up having an after party where we turned on the Xbox Kinect and played Dance Central 2 for a bit. LOL!

Okay. So my big RESOLUTION this year is to get fit, lose 60 50 pounds, feel better about me, and set a good, healthy example for my children.

My GOALS to go along with that RESOLUTION is to get back into this dress before The Hubble comes home for R&R

AND to be able to wear my wedding rings again. Right now, my fingers are too fat

If I can reach those GOALS, I will definitely be on my way to achieving my RESOLUTION.

Have you set any goals or resolutions this year?

Dead Manna Walking {Project 365: Day 5}

You see that guy??

Yeah. That one. The one who drools all the time.

We are about to break up.

That boy has been waking up at 3am for the last couple nights. Well, not really. This morning he woke up at 6am. It was the 2 nights before last night that he woke up at 3am.

And the 6am doesn't count since I stayed up well past midnight because my Older Sister and I started playing Dance Central 2 on the Xbox Kinect and we lost track of time.

Needless to say, I'm exhausted!

I can barely keep my eyes open to write this post.

Anyway. Yesterday was kind of hard.

Baby N woke up at 3am for the second day in a row. Then Little Butt was telling me she didn't feel well.

I told her she couldn't play with her cousin if she didn't go to school.

So she got up and got ready. When we arrived at the school, she didn't even want to get out of the car to go play before class. She looked super pale too. All she did was sit there.

I was finally able to convince her to come home with me. Of course, I had to bribe her!

Before we were able to go home, I had to stop by the post office though. I had some Body by Vi samples to send out so we ran over there.

Poor baby girl ended up laying on the floor in the post office at one point. So we definitely high tailed it home after that. She didn't even want me to stop at Old McDonald's...that's weird!

She ended up falling asleep on the couch for a while.

Luckily, she finally started feeling well later on that evening. Maybe she just needed more sleep? Who knows.

Or maybe she just wanted to spend some extra time with her baby brother whom she loves SO much!

Who knows. I'm just glad she's feeling better.

Now I just have to get myself feeling better. To do that...bed! Goodnight all!!
