No?!?! Well, get out there and do it! It's your right and your responsibilty!
Whew, Monday was really busy! I guess I got up the gumption to clean and organize because that's all I did during both of Maddy's naps. I finished off a lot of chores that were LONG overdue.
I realized something yesterday morning while working out (my time to think). I haven't had any issues with insomnia for quite a while and I attribute that to working out. I I think it works off stress and wears me out enough to sleep at night. Also, I can feel that I'm stronger too. My workouts aren't as strenuous (or feel that way at least) and I've increased both my pushups and crunches by quite a few. Flexibility is still an issue but it's getting better. My only problem is that I need to increase the intensity of my workouts because I really can't increase the duration. As it is, I'm pressed to get in the amount I do. But that takes total concentration and I'll be honest, working out is a nice time to zone out. I'll try to increase the intensity tomorrow.
I NEED to clean bathrooms!!! Argh. I get so busy with other chores that I STILL haven't deep cleaned them. Sure, I wipe up and spot clean with disinfectant wipes, but I really need to get down in there!
Maddy helped me with laundry yesterday. Well, ok, she didn't hinder laundry. I bundled her up and took her outside with me to hang laundry out and to get it when it was dry. I locked her in her infant seat and she didn't overly seem to mind. She would lean over and grab leaves to hold and then try to eat. She seemed to enjoy it. It was nice to get her outside too since it was a bit cold out for a walk and I was busy anyway. Tomorrow should be a little less strenuous.
I've been trying to figure out what I want to do about Christmas cards this year. Last year didn't send them out because I sent out Maddy's birth announcement instead. I'm trying to decide if I want to send out general cards and then put a couple pictures of Maddy inside or if I want to get cards with her picture on it. There's a lot of nice ones out there now. I can't decide.
Joe is so nice to Maddy. He lets her crawl all over him (as long as she doesn't grab his tail or grab his...uh.. fat). He puts up with her so patiently. Matt is soooooo good to Maddy and I. He just loves her to death. She lights up when he comes home from work. Even if I wanted to take her at night and give him a break, I don't think she'd let me. She is so happy to have him home and is so refreshed and has a second wind when he plays with her. He loves playing with her too. Matt loves to wrestle around with her, snuggle her, play ball. They are so cute together and it's fun to hear her coo and talk to him.
She accomplished something new yesterday! She has a jungle spinning toy that came with balls. She is supposed to insert the ball into the hole at the top of the toy and it comes down the course. It hits a button on the way down that makes the circles spin and play music. Normally, she doesn't want the ball on the spinners, but today she was dropping them down the hole on her own over and over and really seemed to enjoy it! Something little, but fun! Matt was pretty impressed when she did it after he got home! I took a picture of her last night playing with it.
Maddy and I ran a couple errands today after voting. But it's really gross outside now so we may put off the grocery store trip until later.
It's time to go and get something done, I guess. Hope this finds everyone well.
