1. Have I ever told you that my phone knows me as “Princess Consuela Banana Hammock”? I told Siri to call me that a long long time ago, and it makes me giggle every single time. Name that TV show!
2. I sure had a humbling experience yesterday. My mom came to watch the girls so I could go to the gym for the first time since probably January. I did intervals of walking/running on the treadmill for 35 minutes, and it was HARD. Granted, I haven’t run in almost a year (I think my last run was in November of last year). It’s going to take a long while for me to be able to reach my goal of a half marathon next September!
3. I was freaking Susie Homemaker yesterday. Not only did I make chili for dinner, but I also made an apple crisp for dessert. So delicious (and actually healthy!)
4. Speaking of that apple crisp, it was my only sugar laden treat I had all day long. That is saying A LOT. Apparently throughout my pregnancy, I thought I could eat a ridiculous amount of sugar. Stopping that happen has proven to be a little difficult. I’ll address this more next week, but I really want to stop my sugar habit!
5. Is anyone else just absolutely loving this fall weather? Yesterday it was only 50 degrees, and I was a fan!
6. We have a busy weekend coming up! On Saturday we have our cousin’s daughter’s first birthday, and on Sunday we have my cousin’s daughter’s christening. All fun things, but I’m going to need a break come Monday!
7. Any tips on how to keep my wiggle worm from doing this to her headbands?
8. Brooklyn was not impressed with me last night.
Am I a horrible mother for taking that picture? LOL. She reeeeally wanted individualized attention, but unfortunately I was the only one around. She eventually got over it – but yikes. I occasionally have an hour or two where the both of them want to be held nonstop (for Brooklyn that is typical, but Emerson is usually fine as long as she’s fed and changed). We powered through though!
9. Only goal for today is to do my grad school work. Like for real. I have been procrastinating all week. Okay, I take that back. I really haven’t had the time to do it this week. I have been doing other things like cleaning and doing laundry and making apple crisps instead.
10. I’m all about fairness, so I can’t just share pictures of Brooklyn without sharing one of my pretty girl Emme!
Don’t be fooled – that was a gas smirk. But a nice little smile nonetheless!
10. It’s the weekend! Happy Friday!
