ONE MORE THING

OOPS! I thought I already posted our accomplishments today... Well, Rowan had an apt. at 2:30, so we left around 2ish. He was a total hellion the whole time, nothing new. He doesn't do well in strange places!
We arrived back home around 3:20, and Rowan had not eaten lunch OR had a nap...he fell asleep on the way home, so I put him to bed. While he was asleep, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to fry up some hamburger for his meals, make some hamburger patties, prepare some sausage for breakfast, and overall just prepare the meals for the rest of the week...for him. I steamed some carrots too. While I had all this going on, I also made beef stroganof (not sure how to spell this???) for dinner tonight (for him, NOT me). I cut up some cheese for snacks, and THEN I decided...yep, let's go ahead and clean out the refrigerator. So, once I started, I went all out...everything came out of the fridge...everything got inspected, cleaned, wiped down and put back in...in a VERY outrageously organized manner...it's kinda sad. Rowan woke up in mid-freak-out cleaning binge, so up he went, and it was time for lunch. I got him fed, and then we played outside once everything was all done.
Next, we headed out for a nice, long walk! FUN!!! Deeva went with us, but her collar broke mid-way...dangit! I had to put her in the basket underneath the stroller for the rest of the walk, but she didn't mind! :-) LOL
Needless to say, my body aches...I hurt...and I am really tired. So, off to do my exercises now...BYE

Ending our Wednesday folks!

Wow, I really had a SCARE tonight!!! So, I had to record AI, fast forward through the commercials and bogus crap on the show...oh my LORD! I really thought it would be Brooke and Jason in the bottom two tonight; yes, they are my favorites, but no I don't think they are the best on the show...and let's face it, they will not win...I thought I was going to lose my Jason tonight, but NOPE! Neither one was in the bottom two, PRAISE JESUS! Another week of getting to see Jason...oh, those eyes...that smile...that VOICE! (Sorry honey, overboard...I KNOW!). Thanks America for voting for my love!

Well, I finally got a chance to sit down and eat, and I grabbed a bagel...good choice, Ashley! Way to go...let's eat BREAD before bed...I am brilliant, I tell ya! GEESH! Oh well, it filled me up, and I didn't even eat it all...so I won't be TOO hard on myself, although I only got to the gym once so far this week...my body will hate me this week!

Rowan and I have had a freakin' BLAST tonight! We have played hard, really hard folks! We danced until our guts hurt from laughing. I have never heard him laugh as hard as he was laughing tonight, granted he was laughing AT me...I was running circles around him b/c Jason was safe! LOL I was screaming at the top of my lungs, dancing, singing and just all out celebrating; I'll admit it! He was just watching me, laughing his toosh off...it was so funny!!! Then I fell to the floor and was rolling all over the place, which he thought was REAL FUN...he joined me, and we rolled...and rolled! Then I decided that since I didn't go to the gym, I would do weights WITH HIM! LOL He makes a great weight! I still need to do my sit-ups and push-ups, so I will sign off for the night!
SLEEP TIGHT!!!!!!!!

Pics from today

Well, here are the pictures; I am going to go ahead and get these up, and then when Rowan goes to bed, I will do my blog...

Rowan in the dog house is the first one; I did NOT put him in here, he did it on his own!!!

I need to win the lottery!

So, I opened up my closet today, in hopes to find something new peeking out at me I guess? When I came home last June, Rowan was 8 weeks old. Needless to say, I had not lost much of the baby weight from pregnancy. I brought home ONE suitcase for both Rowan and me, anticipating we would return August 31st as planned. I think I brought, MAYBE, three pairs of pants and MAYBE five shirts for myself.
Well, since then, I have successfully lost all the pregnancy weight, and then a little more. I am fully intending to lose another 10-20 lbs. by August when Jamie comes home...PRAYERS PLEASE because I have not been so good about eating right and going to the gym regularly since Jamie's trip home last month...I think I have lost 1.5 lbs since then. Well, I HAVE NO FREAKIN' CLOTHES TO WEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am at a loss. I need to go shopping DESPERATELY, but I just cannot get myself to go. Shopping for myself seems so selfish now, there are just so many other things that seem so much more important! I am broke until the 1st, so there will be no shopping going on until then anyway. It's frustrating though; I have worked so freakin' hard to lose weight, and for what? So I can look like a rag-doll in my old clothes? This sucks...perhaps I should start stuffing my face with twinkies, then my old clothes will fit again and I won't look like a damn charity case!
Furthermore, Rowan needs some spring and summer clothes. I truly think I could spend hundreds of dollars for our wardrobes this season, and that makes my stomach hurt just to think about it!!! His clothes will definently come first, which will leave me waiting until later...by the time I have the money to go shopping for myself, well...it will probably be winter again! LOL ARGH!!!!!

Wednesday, April 23rd

Today is off to a MUCH better start. I woke up earlier than Rowan (normally I do, but lately I haven't...have had a cold, 'nuf said!), and I got showered before I woke him up. This is always a good way to start the day, I feel like things are accomplished before I am chasing my little man around.
Rowan had his breakfast, cheerios and bananas AGAIN! Hey, he likes it and it is easy...but I do know that I need to start making better morning food for him. I am not a breakfast eater, though I know I SHOULD BE, so I prefer fast in the mornings!
I am pretty much ready, just have to get dressed, and Rowan is ready, also not dressed. So, we are about to head out for the day. We have an appointment at 2:30, and I have booty ballet tonight at 6. Other than that, we are just winging it today and going to have fun...I HOPE!!!

Tomorrow will be BUSY...looking at houses alllll day, and I hope to pick one of them to be moved into by next month! WISH ME LUCK, and say LOTS of PRAYERS for us. It is a big step for us...
