Funny Story

Apparently sleep has been interesting in our house this week...On Tuesday night, Michael said that he got home from his night job at 10:30. I had probably been asleep for an hour or so by then and when he walked into the room I turned my head and asked "Is it time to get up already?" in the most pitiful voice ever...when he said no, it's 10:30 I said "Oh, ok" rolled over and went back to sleep. He told his co-workers about it and they got a good laugh out of it.

Last night it was Michael's turn...I was still up, watching my DVR recorded So You Think You Can Dance when he got home (DID YOU SEE MELANIE AND MARKO???) if not, here it is courtesy of YouTube go watch now!

Anyway so after the show was over and we were done talking about the softball games and what not, we went to sleep. At some point in the middle of the night I woke up to Michael's hand crashing down on my eye! It felt like Parker hitting me in the eye with one of his board books (in fact for some reason I thought it was Parker hitting me with Brown Bear Brown Bear...I was so not awake) Anyway Michael immediately wakes up and is saying sorry and trying to make me feel better...I really just yelled "OWW" and rolled over to go back to sleep ha-ha. This morning Michael apologized again and told me he'd dreamt I was falling off of the bed and he was trying to catch me! HA! in the process his finger nail scratched my left eye lid so I'll be calling the po-po for spouse abuse lol j/k. I hope you all have been sleeping well! Have a great Thursday (It's almost FRIDAY!)

Progress (a day late)

OK so I'm on a roll with updates and thought this should be separate from the other post. I haven't done McFatty Monday...or anything else in a while so here is an update on my weight loss or lack there of depending on the week.


First of all, here is my graph as of today. Sorry the picture is so small, but you get the picture.

I was doing really well at first, then I kind of got stuck for a month. I got back on track for a few weeks and then I was either losing a good amout or not gaining a little back. This past week (the one with the huge gain) I put the number that was actually on the scale. Let me clarify! We had to get a new scale, our other one broke and we didn't calculate the difference before I threw out the old one. There is a 6 pound difference according to Michael which could be true because there was a crack in the other scale but whatever the difference, I jsut went with the number I saw.

I wasn't happy obviously and both Michael and I are thinking that the old scale was just wrong to begin with and we were heavier than the scale said in the first place. We should still be proud of how far we've come and shouldn't be discouraged (he's such a sweety) so there you have it. I've "gained" 6.5 pounds this week and I'm determined to get that little line going in the right direction!

I feel good about my progress, I'm not happy yet but I'm on the right track. I need to incorporate more activity into my day to day life then I have been because I'm not getting thinner watching So You Think You Can Dance. I'm going to try a few methods that don't require a tiny woman yelling at me through the television screen and I hope to be able to get in to Zumba soon.

My problem areas are my belly, which has shrunk a good bit since January, and my thighs. My butt and boobs are disappearing (sorry honey!) so those two areas are the ones bothering me. I just don't want to jiggle when I walk. I'm sure you all know what I mean. I've found a few things on Pinterest (btw thank you Sherry & Blair for telling me about this, I am now addicted) some workout ideas but mostly pictures I use as inspiration so I'll be including a picture in my McFatty posts that you may or may not want to steal.

For now though I'm going to track my lunch, plan my dinner and hopefully have a great start to a successful week!

Updates and General Randomness

I've been offline for a while. It's not that I didn't think about writing a post here and there because I did, it's just that whenever I get home and get everything I do done, I just want to hit the hay. You know? So here is a little catch up post with pictures from the last few months. A ton of pictures actually so if you're not interested in looking at the cutest kid ever, don't scroll down.

Here are pictures from our first zoo trip of the year back in April. Parker had a great time and it was so fun listening to him point out the animals he knew.

 Wearing his hat

 I finally got a picture of me and the kiddo, I'm always the one behind the camera.

 One of his favorite animals, he was saying "Raaaawr"

Walking with Daddy to the next area.

These next ones are from the weekend before Easter. Parker and I traveled down to Houston to spend time with my side of the family. He of course was spoiled beyond belief and had a lot of fun.

 Parker with his Uncle Awesome

 Egg hunting!

 Checking out his basket of goodies.

Sharing the love with Destiny...that boy is crazy about his "nene"

This is the only picture I took on Easter Sunday...shame on me.

These next pictures are the most recent and are random from our daily lives. My child has a new found love for anything he can put on his head. Buckets, bowls, wash rags, toys...Mom's undies...yeah it's been fun!

 "Hat"

Cool dude.

I can't believe that my baby will be 2 in a couple of months...I'm freaking out a little bit. I've got his party planned in my mind but we'll see how it turns out. I'll more details on that later.

Can't wait to post about Father's day on Sunday. Parker has a big surprise for his daddy so I'll be sure to take pictures of the gift opening.

Have a great Monday everyone!
