So much to do, so little time

Well, we are moving. We just don't know where yet. There is so much stuff that I need to get rid of. We have so many clothes that it is crazy. There is also so much stuff that we packed 6 years ago that is still in boxes. I really need to get over my pack rat instincts. Hopefully I can find someone to keep me accountable (not Jon). I think the first this to do is go through my sewing room and the kids clothes.

This is not going to be fun.

Bad news, Good news and Music

I am done with week 1 of the 28 day bootcamp.

Bad news

I didn't lose any weight.

Good news

I didn't gain any weight.

Music

I found my Ace of Base cd. Awesome!!! Rocking out to "I saw the sign".

Its been 2 months.

It has been 2 months since I posted anything. Life is finally slowing down just enough for it to speed back up. Today I am taking a Mommy Day. I am doing just the things that are necessary and everything else is for me.

This morning I did a 10 minute kickboxing cardio video followed by a 7 minute core workout. I have so far made good food choices for today. I am counting down the days until Valentines Day to see my progress. I will be taking the journey to the new me one day at a time.

Today Lilla is 8 months old. I can't believe it!!! She is crawling all over the place. Hopefully she will be getting ready to walk soon. I would like to not have to worry about all the little specks on the floor that she wants to put in her mouth.

Paige is an aspiring ballerina now. Thanks to the Angelina Ballerina video the girls got for Christmas. It is wonderful watching her twirl and bow in all her glory(naked).

Michael has been doing well. He is recovering from Strep Throat. He is going to try to spend the night at a friend's house this weekend. I hope it goes well. I am a little apprehensive about the amount of supervision that they will have. But I need to trust that Michael will make good choices or he will be grounded for life.

Johnathan has been Johnathan. Homework is still a battle (when he brings it home). His room is still a mess. And me is now almost as tall as I am. He is going to try to be a part of the school yearbook group. I hope he has fun.

And finally, Jon. He has just started his last semester. He will (fingers crossed) be graduating in May. I hope this semester goes smoother that last semester.

6 months

Wow!! I can't believe Lilla is 6 months old already. I took her for her 6 month check up yesterday. She weighs 17 pounds and 4 ounces. She is also 27 inches long. She is doing great. She has 2 teeth and really lets us know when she is mad. When she go her shots, she screamed. First from it hurting, and then because she was pissed.  She has been getting mad a lot lately. She wants to crawl. She is almost there. Lilla can get up on her hands and knees and can scoot backwards. She just hasn't gotten down the moving forward part. But she will figure that out soon. She is very smart.

Johnathan's home

Johnathan got back from his trip today. He had a lot of fun. Only problem was..... he lost his MP3 player. He didn't lose it on the way to McCall. He din't lose it on the way back from McCall. He lost it on the 20 minute bus ride home from the school. Amazing.

Take 2

Let's try this again.

I started this blog to be able to help me get through this crazy life of mine. But then life got so busy and crazy that I didn't have time. So now I am trying this again.

This is going to be a "catch up" post. Just a little bit about everything that has happened in the past couple weeks.

My birthday was last month. We went to the U of I Homecoming fireworks and bonfire.

Then came halloween.

 Johnathan's pumpkin

 Paige's pumpkin

 Lilla's pumpkin

Michael's pumpkin

I forgot to get pics of the kids in their costumes. The U of I took their picture and as soon as I get it, I will post it.

The next item on the adgenda is Johnathan's birthday.

 His cake.

 Johnathan with Michael bothering him.

Johnathan without Michael.

And finally, today Johnathan left to go to Science camp. He will be back on Friday. I really hope all goes well.

Well, I better get some sewing done. I have a big craft fair this weekend.
