What Is With This Weather?

It is July 2nd and again I am cold!

Yesterday was busy!  Took mom to Saranac to pick up and cash her check, went to a couple of stores, then to Shane and Trisha's to pick up mom's old car battery, to the parts store to get the new battery, to BK to get lunch, home to eat it, Greenville to the Secretary of State, the dollar store and then back to Shane and Trisha's so Shane could put the new battery in her car.  We came back here afterwards and ate dinner and Kathye came over for "workout Wednesday."  We did workout a little but we were mostly impressed about our Raspberry Pucker smoothies!  I had told her about these smoothies I've been having for breakfast and how they were pretty yummy and of course, she said she didn't believe me (that's her way of telling people she wants to try it :) ) so I made some.  They turned out a little tart and she was saying that bananas would probably make them better.... that or rum!  I told her I had Raspberry pucker and that would compliment the berry mixture, so we tried it and it was pretty good!

Today I have tons of cleaning to do :(  I have about four loads of laundry, it's garbage day so I have to clean out the fridge and the litter and bag up the trash and the floors need vacuuming.

Lauryn is so close to crawling!  She doesn't do her wiggle back and forth on her tummy thing to get places any more.  Now she's using her hands and her knees and feet to get places.  She just hasn't completely figured out how to make them all work together :)  I'd say by next week she'll have it down!

I think I might make that ham dinner tonight.  And I want to find a good shortcake recipe.

Long Night

Lauryn woke up at 1:50 am last night.  I think her teeth were bothering her again.  It didn't take me too long to get her back to sleep though.  I, on the other hand, was up until about 4:30 am.  I felt hot and could not get back to sleep.  I may have to take a nap when she takes hers today :)

I only accomplished some of what I wanted to do yesterday.  I got a little caught up in filling in Lauryn's baby book :)  I still need to weed the garden, sweep and mop the kitchen floor, wash the bedding and since the garbage needs to go out tonight, I have to clean out the fridge, the kitty litter and empty the bathroom trash.  Fun, fun!

"Workout Wednesday" wasn't very productive as far as working out goes.  We pretty much just spent the time putting up her Pack & Play and drinking coffee.

A Day of Catching Up

So far today, I have cleaned out the fridge, done the dishes, swept, dusted, vacuumed, changed the kitty litter, gathered up any garbage (it goes out tonight) and finished the laundry.  I still have to give the bathroom a good once over and then my house will be looking good.  It's amazing how much harder it's gotten to keep the house up with a seven month old in the picture.  When she was younger I could just plop her in her bouncy seat and get things taken care of.  Now, she's crashing into my ankles when I'm doing the dishes, cruising through my little dirt pile when I'm sweeping and fussing when I'm trying to fold the laundry.  She's not happy to sit in her walker in the door way of the kitchen because she can't see me the whole time...and she can't cruise through the dirt! :)  She's a rambunctious one, for sure!

Tonight my Aunt is coming over to visit.  I'm so looking forward to having her over!  I know she's missing spending time with Lauryn so we really need to start getting together more often!

Last night, Kathye and I actually made more progress on "workout Wednesday" than ever!  We took a 45-ish minute walk and it felt so good!  The hill that goes back up to my house totally kicked my butt though.  Pushing the stroller up it was harder than I thought!  It was good though, to get out, get moving and get Lauryn and Cloz'r some fresh air.  Lauryn had no trouble falling asleep last night!
