Junk.

I was just sitting here trying to catch up on blogging when i was hit with a craving for chocolate. Thinking to my self "dam I should have picked up a treat at wegman's" I went to the kitchen to scrounge up some chocolate chips or something, anything. What I found was a box of Samoas! the ones my parents gave me for Christmas and I forgot about. Boy am I glad I forgot they were here until now!

Thank yous and Holiday cards

At this point I should have all of the thank yous for Christmas done - I haven't even started. I have no excuse or at least no good one. I need to either start them or at the very least write a list of all the great gifts so that when I do get to it I will know what I am thanking people for! I will get them done this weekend I have to or it will drive me nuts.

The Holiday cards that I wanted to send out is just not going to happen J has not sent me the good picture and it seems stupid to get them out this late. This will be year two (or was it three) that we didn't get them out I am very disappointed - I guess I shouldn't be too surprised I still have only gotten half of Evelyn's birth announcements out.

Week 3!

In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus.

We are on our way to baby #2!!!!

Cooking

I'm making a debut in the kitchen again and am not doing such a bad job at it though I'm not sure Evelyn feels the same way as she didn't touch my lasagna. we shall see what she does with the rice cakes. Tonight after eating leftovers (Jason either didn't see the recipe on the counter or didn't get the hint to start the rice should he get home before me...) I put together a new recipe with help from Jason. He lovingly sliced the veggies and cooked the rice. so all i had to do is chop the veggies (my fault as I didn't realize it would work better). mix up the "rice cakes" and fry them. this means of course I was cooking when I normally would be finishing up cleaning but I think it was worth it. (yeah I snitched sue me). This stuff has a lot of texture and onion (mom would love it!), I'm not so sure Evelyn will like it. I'm thinking of serving it with either a meat which could go either way with her or veggie burgers which she does like sometimes. Maybe I'll luck out and with a little cheese she will gulp it down!

What a yucky day.

It was cold and miserable today. Though it may have finally stopped snowing. I enjoyed my time with Evelyn today but wasted nap time reading a book. Because of that I didn't get much done today. Jason and I are both exhausted - J from coughing all night in the den and me from getting up with evelyn at 3:30 and having a hard time getting back to sleep. It made for a long day. I still have a little bit of cleaning to do then I'm going to shower and hide in bed. Tomorrow I will use my lunch hour to purchase a baby gate as J said he was going to but has not yet done so. I've had enough and I know Evelyn will pitch a fit when she finds it up but I need the security of having it especially if J is going to travel again though he does not have any trips coming that I am aware of.

exhausted...

I don't really know why I am so tired (maybe the lack of exercise) but it is driving me crazy. Evelyn is sleeping well despite the fact that she is still sick getting up once in the night if that or maybe i just don't remember hearing her get up. We did have a great day - I even got to cook. I made white lasagna with mushrooms and spinach. I liked the way that it turned out though I think I would like to add carrots and maybe even tomatoes to the mix next time. It was a bit on the heavy side but since I ate a salad and not a big piece of the lasagna I figure it was still a healthy meal. unfortunately Evelyn didn't enjoy her mom's cooking too much I really wish she ate more. But she seems to be healthy and happy so she must not need it.

ok going to bed super early tonight so I can get a good nights sleep and shake this exhaustion...

Happy New Year!

And what a crazy year it has been. But I have some great ideas for resolutions!

I'm going back to the gym - no more excuses I'm signing up tomorrow. I can't wait!
I'm going to eat healthier. Usually I'm a good eater but have gotten out of the habit (and yes I really believe it is a habit) so I'm going to retrain myself to eat better and less.
(and no the above resolutions are not related to weight loss)
I'm going to bet better at blogging at least on Evelyn's page.
I'm going to try to keep the house cleaner and will be welcoming back the chore chart to keep me on track.

I even have a few for Jason and I...

a date night every two months (or less)
dinner at the table as a family every night
weekly walks - well this one may wait for better weather though we did enjoy one today!
