OMG...what a week!!!!
Well, this week has started off where last week ended - absolutely CRAZY!!!!! After the leakage we had in our basement in the playroom and scraproom, things in our house have been in shambles! So, we have been having people coming to give us quotes on basement waterproofing as well as air conditioning. Last Thursday was Madison's class picnic from 11-1 and then I have appts at 2. 4:30 and 6!!! What a night! Another appt on Friday after a tough day...and a tough night....Mass on Saturday, Zoo and McDonald's on Sunday, and then actually a day just to be home yesterday! Things have been nuts! Started to get the playroom organized and are going through stuff for a garage sale later in the summer. I can't wait to weed out a lot of the stuff. We just have so many toys that the kids can't possibly play with them all nor can we keep them organized!! Of course, that is the problem with the whole house!!!
I did start working out last week...doing a 20 minute 1-mile walk called Walking off the Weight and loving it. It seems that I am not so tired when I am doing something. I am also trying to watch what I eat. I took some before pics the other day and almost cried!!! I didn't realize how terrible I look! I am just glad that I am now doing something about it. I think I have only missed 2 days since I started. However, one of the days I walked around the Zoo with the kids so at least got some exercise! I am just going to be happy when I get to my goal! I am not very patient but do realize that everything worth it is worth waiting and working for! But, I will be happy to be maintaining instead of trying to lose.
Things with the kids are going well. Braden is now 8 months and is starting to pull up on stuff. He did it for the first time on Friday! Blew me away as he is sitting by the freezer and when I opened it and went to close it after getting what I needed, there he is standing there hanging on for dear life!!! It was adorable. He did it again on Saturday on the kick and play thing. Then yesterday, as soon as he got up, his feet were aching to hit the floor and he walked (with my help of course) from the bedroom to the living room. He is doing so well!! Ashton is in the midst of potty training. We are having many accidents and what seems like intentional potty trips on the floor. I have started today to take him at least every hour if not every half an hour to try to curtail those. We'll see how that goes. I just want him to be able to be in preschool this fall as I think it will be beneficial to him. Madison finished 4 year old preschool and says she is scared to go to kindergarten next fall. I'm sure after a long summer away from school, she will be excited. We are keeping her where she is for one more year and then deciding what to do from there.
Trav is falling apart! In the past month, he has hurt his neck in a car accident, his head by dropping the garage door on him, both wrists, his elbow and I am sure other things too. Poor guy!!! I am sure this all will pass...maybe I can get him on a health kick and he will improve as well.
That's all for now. Again, will try to be a better blogger!!!
