So Not Awake

I have been up since a little before 7 am but I don't think I'm actually awake yet!  I didn't sleep well at all last night.  I think sitting in the waiting room so long yesterday did a number on my back.  We have Willow today and I'm thankful that both girls are old enough to keep themselves pretty occupied because I feel a bit like a zombie walking around.  After lunch we're going to head outside and I'm hoping the fresh air will wake me up!  Luckily I don't have a ton to do today.  A little tidying up, getting a check in the mail for for life insurance for my family and later I have to run to the store to pick up a few things.  I think Cloz'r must have had a long night too because she's been sleeping all day! :)

Busy Little Girls

We have Willow here today and it's so much fun watching these girls interact.  They talk up a storm, they run around and chase each other and you can't help but laugh when they get to giggling.  They also wear me out! :)  We've played hide and seek, we've colored, they've been on the potty a half a dozen times (without success) and we've played with baby dolls.  They're down for a nap right now, so the house is a whole lot quiter!

I'm getting so close to finishing my netbook bag.  I need to sew the felt in, sew the buttons on, sew up the sides and attach the handle.  If I have enough yarn when I'm done, I'm going to whip up a pocket for the back of it.  I'm getting so excited and can't wait to see it when it's done.  I get pretty proud of projects when they are my own and not someone else's pattern :)

Lloyd and I have been talking about weight loss quite a bit lately.  We both want to lose some weight and get into better shape.  We've been talking about P90x, m drol, actually using our elliptical machine, etc.  We need to stop talking about it and start doing it!  A friend of ours posted before and after pictures after using P90x and the results are amazing!  We both just want to be healthier people so we can set a good example for Lauryn....and have more energy to keep up with her!

Why Can't It Be Easier?

Insurance drives me crazy!  Just when you think you've got it all figured out, it changes!  Then you have to go through the process all over again, of checking out homeowners insurance quotes, life insurance quotes, etc. and once you get what's best for you, it changes again.  UGH!

Today was a little crazy in "Toddler Town."  The girls were having such a good afternoon and out of nowhere, Lauryn did something pretty naughty.  I know kids do stuff like that but I'm praying she learned her lesson today and knows that what she did was naughty and won't do it again.  I love my daughter more than anything in the world but with all the attitudes, throwing fits and general naughtiness, this is so not my favorite age!

Busy Girls!

At this very moment, I have two almost two year old girls, both taking a nap!  I didn't think it would happen but it was actually a lot easier than I thought!  Both of them were tired and rubbing their eyes but as soon as I mentioned resting, they both rejected the idea.  So I put Lauryn in her bed with her blankie and a baby and I put Willow in the play yard with a blankie and a baby and it only took a few minutes for them to fall asleep.  Hopefully no one comes to the door and rings the doorbell!  I have a sign up but no one reads it.  It wouldn't be too bad except that our door bell in very loud and obnoxious!  I keep telling Lloyd we need to just disconnect the darn thing!

With winter just around the corner, I need to find some good face moisturizer.  My skin always gets a little dry in the winter and the stuff I've been using just won't cut it.  I need to get something for Lauryn too.  Poor girl!  As soon as the cold weather hits, she gets a few dry, red patches on her arms and they look miserable.  I think I used Ucerine last year and that was what worked the best.  Hopefully it won't bother her as much this year.
