Another Monday

Today was a great day! Despite the fact my baby was fussy and blah all day, we got a lot done! Office stuff in the morning, lunch with Curtis then we went on a walk, drove to Park Meadows Mall for an interview, stopped at a gas station and got gas (for 2.86 per gallon- geeppers!) and a carwash, went to Sunflower Market and got lots of yummy yummy fruits and veggies, stopped at King Soopers and got the essentials (milk and bread), came home and fixed hamburgers at 4pm (we were starving!), ate the hamburgers. I worked on CARES stuff and tried to keep Samuel happy while Curtis cleaned the bathroom (willingly- yeah I know I got an amazing husband) then I spent two hours rocking Samuel to sleep, feeding Samuel, rocking him to sleep, bouncing Samuel, feeding Samuel, laying Samuel down, picking Samuel up, rocking, feeding, bouncing, rocking, finally he passed out at 8 (love being a mom :o) ), did pilates, stretched, cleaned out my purse, ate some icecream and now I'm blogging! I wish I could blog everyday. I love it. But I love all the things I did today.

I love the feeling of having a fridge stocked full of fresh fruit and veggies. Sunflower Market has GREAT prices on fresh fruit and veggies, everything else is rather expensive so I just browse the produce section and I'm out. I can't wait to cook up some yummy meals with the stuff I bought. Hopefully I will have time to share them on here!

I think my baby is getting tooth in, he is fussy and irritable all the time, its hard for him to take good naps during the day and he wakes up screaming if he does fall asleep. I'm not sure what exactly is causing this since I can't seem to locate an incoming tooth but I cant think of what else it is. Whatever it is I hope it passes, but in the mean time I just take each minute at a time and understand I can't do everything and being a mom and wife is most important.

Cheers!

4 a.m.

Somehow I missed the memo that staying up till 4 in the morning is a new thing - at least my body thinks so. The first night it happened I had a coke at 4p.m. so I thought the caffine (since I hadn't had any in a while) was the reason. But yesterday I didn't have any caffine. I did however have some anxiety. Once I get excited about something - forget about sleeping. I am wired - awake - engergized. Whatever could possibly done to further the thing I am excited about I want to, scratch that - NEED to do at that very moment. IF I had an idea at 1 or 2 in the morning I would understand why I would still be awake at 4. But last night I had the idea at 11pm. Came down from my mountain high anxiety attack around 1 or 2 then proceed to lay in bed awake while I wondered why my eyes were still wide open without the slightest bit of heaviness. Does anyone else expereince anxiety like this or missing memo's from your body that staying up till 4 is going to be the new thing? Have any stories to share?

Here is some inspiration for you today -
