What a race..

I can't believe today is only hump day...seriously?.... I am ready for Friday. Actually I am ready for the weekend of the 4th of July. We are going on a mini vacation and frankly...I need it... So far this week has been a little crazy, nothing the dynamic duo can't handle...lol...

Josh started school on Monday night....he wasted his gas even getting there because the professor couldn't get his computer logged on and Josh was home by 745 or so...it was nice.. When he walked in the door Mati clapped for him she was so excited...We had played our little hearts out while he was gone.. I took a video of her in her highchair being her mischievous self...Once Josh got home he took a video of Mati standing next to the ottoman dancing, let me tell you..she was getting down...lol.. She passed out about 8:15...ohh yeah Monday I got pulled over by a constable...who would have thought they actually have radars...hmm he wrote me a warning....gee officer thanks for wasting 10 minutes of my lunch break....My hands were shaking so much you would have thought I had pot in my car...lol...ohh well Thank ya Jesus!!!

Tuesday was an absolute race....I went to work....left...picked Mati up...My mom is in MS and usually does a cleanup of her pool and yard(poop)..so...I went home and got Mati's things ready since she will be hanging out with Josh's mom...thanks again...we headed to my mom's and did some poop detail....got some things ready for the class...took her over there dropped her off...headed back to my mom's...got more things ready...cleaned the pool...got the noodles out...taught the class...went and picked some fresh pea's out of my parents garden...picked sleeping Mati up...she never woke up in the transfer to her crib..she was exhausted...I started the laundry I was so behind on...boiled bottles cleaned house...woke miss priss up to give her a bath and a bottle ....she whined the whole time I dressed her but I have to keep her on schedule..she gets a bath every night except for maybe Sunday night...ok so ..laid her back down...and kept working...made Josh's lunch..got things ready for daycare..cleaned house...Finally my love walked in the door and I was sooooo tired.....

The past 2 nights I have been sleeping so hard...the minute my head hits the pillow I feel like I blink and its 4 and Mati needs a bottle...She has been doing really well with sleeping in her crib. She actually sleeps longer in her crib in the morning than she did in my bed ... not to mention she looks so freakin comfortable. She was really happy this morning..

Her and momma aren't doing much or anything tonight...I am picking her up and we are just chillin..I need to go pick our ipods up from my sister but nothing else... I haven't ran since last Friday and ohh well...don't care...Next Monday we start the ridiculous diet and working out....90 days and I can do it....soooo I am relaxing this week..drinking my cokes and savoring every minute of it.....

Tomorrow will be another crazy running around day, but we can do it...

I will make Josh post the 2 video's tonight...He says I am computer illiterate..

bye,bye

ok so I always forget to include this in my post, but Mati did this at lunch so its sparked my memory. The past few weeks Mati has learned how to wave...she doesn't really know what she is doing...yesterday during naptime she would wave and say "hey" in our bed...She doesn't say "bye bye" but if you say it she will wave....

Today when I went to visit her on my lunch she was in the best mood...when I picked her up and played with her I told her I was about to go bye bye....she waved to all her little friends like she was going too.... :( it broke my heart to leave her....lol....

ohh and she knows what my sunglasses are...today we were sitting on the floor playing and I asked her where mom's glasses were....she looked on top of my head and pulled them down...she was sooo excited...

Last week I was wondering if Mati knew what her binky was....most kids have a nickname for it, but Mati never calls it anything so I asked her if I could have her binky...she looked and me and took it out of her mouth...twisted it around and tried to stick the nipple in my mouth...so...ding ding...she knows what her binky is.....

ok ok...I was sitting at work thinking about her and all these things I wanted to share came rushing in...I had to release.....

"Ok..you smell clean"..

Monday Monday Monday....ahhh...I hate and love Mondays... I am usually ready for another week to start, but I am always dreading the close of my weekends.. There is something about Mondays though....A fresh start ... a clean slate...a new week to screw up. This Monday is particularly hard, Josh starts back school today. I am very excited for him and I know this is something he has to get done to make our future better.....but I am terrified. I am usually stressed to the max...I am usually anxiously awaiting him to get home so I can have just a minute to catch up. Now he will be walking in the door, to a dark home...with his loves sound asleep. 4 days a week. He told me this morning I will probably learn to love it....the 2 hours before bed will turn into "me" time...and he is probably right. Enough of all that.

Friday...Josh and I had our date night. I got home and took a 20 minute power nap while Josh bathed Mati.... We got her stuff together and I got myself all dressed up.. Josh made a crack that I was overdressed BUT...I had to... I wanted to feel like it was a date..We went to Outback where I had to have everything that I won't be eating for the next 3 months...down to the dessert. It was all so yummy.... Next we ventured over to AMC.. we watched Angels and Demons...It was really good....highly recommend... I couldn't wait to pick up Mati. I checked my phone numerous times..making sure I didn't have a missed call from Josh's mom. Mati did great. She fought her sleep a little bit...probably bc she was in an unfamiliar place at first. It was so nice to go out and just be Josh and I....it was so nice..

Saturday..mommy's sleep in day...was a pretty good day. Josh made breakfast and tried to help out since I will be solo this week. Around lunch we headed over to my parents house to swim and hang out with my nieces and nephews that are in town. The pool was way to cold for me..I laid out for a bit and headed inside.. after some watermelon we headed out to do a little shopping...I got Mati some more new clothes and I got some new black sandal's... not what I was looking for, but they will do..After shopping Josh and I headed over to mom's for an early dinner then headed home while they went to bowl...Josh did the yard while I cleaned the house.....when we finished up we went and got some brownie mix and a movie...we picked the kido's up and headed home... 6 kids total...including Mati...I was pretty stressed out about it, but it went really smooth..After Mati went down all the girls made brownies and the boys played the wii....while the baked we had a rather quick bathtime....both of my nephews hate to take baths...you literally have to check them...smell the hair and the arms...I think its a boy thing....the girls were also interested in my old "love" box...( box of old letters and pictures of boyfriends...random scraps of paper with numbers scribbled on them)...memories...they loved reading my old love notes... I have one box from old flames and 1 box with letters just from Josh... I guess they got to see that I use to like boys too....lol...After brownie time the girls all piled into my bed and watched a little of Dirty Dancing...we all drooled over their romance..and Josh ran them out of our bed around 1130 or so..

Sunday was Sunday school...surprise surprise....then off to my mom's for some fried chicken. It was my sister's bday so we all had lunch...then we took the kids off to go skate...Josh and I just watched from the sidelines..Mati started getting really fussy so we headed home..we crawled into out bed and watched Mall Cop..well Josh did..I was in and out of my Sunday nap..after naptime....we washed our cars and I cleaned house. We got everything ready to start the week.I took a shower while Mati went down for the night and headed over to my parents house to tell the kido's bye...they are leaving today...I showed up in my pj' s and my 7 year old nephew asked what I was doing..I told him I just took a shower....and he just walks up to me and starts smelling my arms and says...."ok ..you smell clean"....the same thing I said to him the night before... I can't wait to hear funny things come out of Mati's mouth.

My parents have a bird that she loves....every dog is tah ter...(baxter)...and she will shreek with excitement. I love to watch her lean to see something when someone is in her way...she also has started pulling up on our legs now....and all the furniture. The daycare got some new colorful toys this weekend sooo....my usual clingy baby on Mondays....wanted down and took off to the new toys..I won't lie....it was nice... so I know you all enjoy pictures way more than my rambling..soo..I will take plenty this week with all of our mommy and Mati time...

Investigator..

Mati has become such an investigator. If she hears something she wants to know where its coming from...This morning she was trying to stand up using the cabinet door and pull my hot straightener down...I learned quickly what she was doing and moved the cord on to the counter so it didn't look too appealing.

I didn't get to run last night, and I am kinda glad...I needed the break. My calves have been so sore. Atleast I know I am doing something. I can't remember the last time I was this slim..probably high school. I am very tempted to put my wedding dress on this weekend..lol...I am ready to do a drastic change to myself...maybe my hair ..new make up...I dunno..I feel like I have looked like this since I was 16.....ohh well..

We had church last night and Mati was soo bad...she was ready to go to sleep and ready to go home. She likes her bath at 7 and bedtime between 830 to 9...she is definitely on a routine and she hates to be off. The bride of chucky emerges and it is not pretty. My nieces and nephews just kinda ohh and ahhh over her and it's so sweet to watch. They remind me of myself when they were born...Man I am getting old. They are constantly wanting to hold her, and make her laugh. Mati is to busy trying to figure out who they are.

Water aerobics tonight...I can't wait..I am really liking it! It makes my afternoon completely rushed and crazy, but after its over I feel like super mom has done it again...lol...Friday tomorrow and date night with my sexy husband...Man I love you baby...your like the laces in my shoes...lol....mmmuuaahhh*

Rainy Day

It's hard to believe that the sun was shining about 40 mintues ago and the sky was soo blue....the rain, thunder, and lightening has definately put a damper on the day. Hopefully it doesn't last too long.

Today is hump day and boy and I am ready to get over it and on into the weekend. Last night was my first official paid night at water aerobics...I had a great time other than my clock breaking...it sucked...so I have to pick up a new one before Thursday. I think all the ladies had a great time and everyone got what they paid for....a good workout. All of my nieces and nephews were at my parents house, and it was so great to see them. I spent a little time with them, but had to head home early so little Mati moo could get her bath. She still wasn't feeling good so she whined her whole bath...so that was very short lived... She still wanted to play though. By 9 or so she was out, which is a little later than normal. Josh and I watched the Real Housewives of New Jersy or should I say I watched them while he snoozed...

Josh has been in and out of meetings all day so I really haven't heard from him. I guess I kinda miss him. I have been staying steady with my running and next week Josh and I will start a very intense meal and workout plan. It's one of the hardest you can do so...I better be ripped in 90 days...I just want the line down my stomach...I don't want to look butch...just lean and toned.

Other than that things are just kinda steady around our house. I am starting to accept that I might not get to do a deep clean every weekend and I just need to be happy that my house is clean 90 % of the time.

Friday Josh and I are going on a date...like dinner and a movie...alone...I am really excited. We haven't been out since November sooo....this is much needed. I think it is important for your marriage. Now we will see if it actually happens. It's hard to not feel quilty about leaving her.

Anyways I am hoping to do a picture update tonight or tomorrow so cut me some slack...;)

Working it

Today does not feel like Tuesday. My morning was way too chaotic for it to only be the 2nd day in the week....uhhhh... Mati's cold is back in full swing...congestion...nose running like a faucet...you name it...she's got it..

Last night after Josh got home we ate dinner and headed over to my parents house to I could practice some water aerobic routines....after we headed home and I went for a run while Mati enjoyed her bath time with daddy...( I am letting him give her most of her baths since he starts school next week) I am started to run faster and will bump up my distance tonight. We both worked out with our medicine ball and I am feeling it...not to mention my calves are killing me today. I actually did 10 girl push ups....this is never one of my strong suits so...10 is good for me.

Josh was stung by either a hornet or a wasp over the weekend...its still red around it and has some heat in it. Lats night should have been his night with Mati, but he opted to take some Benedryl and crash....Mati started waking up at 1120 and after many failed attempts to get her back to sleep I put her in our bed...still nothing...I cat napped until after 5...I made Josh take her and I rolled over. I over slept by 10 minutes or so which in mommy world that can throw you off a good 30 minutes if you aren't careful. As we are rushing out of the door on time....I remember we moved the car seat to the Lexus last night to go to my mom's and I am screwed....Josh is very one track in the morning...I still don't know how he didn't notice the car seat in the backseat....seriously? soooo you don't want to know how I got my child to Daycare this morning..I am just thankful we literally live less than 2 minutes away.....and now I have to worry about picking her up.....ahhhhh.....

Tonight is my aerobics class...and I am already ready for the weekend..Lord help me..

Weekend recap..

ahhhhh it's Monday and time for my usual weekend update: Our weekend was full of playtime and some first for little miss priss.

Friday night was a relaxing one....I don't think we did anything on Friday night besides watch TV and eat some pizza. Mati was standing up on everything. Every time we weren't watching her she had pulled herself up on something else..It was really funny to watch her try to stand holding her jumper. It's on springs soo....when it would shake she would freak out... She wouldn't let go so she was wanting someone to come help her. It was really cute. She has gotten really fast at crawling and is all over the place.

Saturday...I got up a little earlier than usual and hung out with my loves...Josh and I decided to go on a bike ride so.. my parents stopped by so they could pick Mati up while we rode ..thanks mom and dad... we rode and tanned...ohh I finally bought the spandex shorts...I refuse to go in the tanning bed place in them so I strap some loose shorts on my camel pack to put over them.. Josh and I got a little sunburned from the ride, but hey we needed it. After our ride..we went to pick up Mati and my parents were just getting back from buying some grub to cook out..so...Josh and I ran back home and got our swim suits to get in the water. Mati loves the pool. Of course she is the center of attention, but she laughs and splashes...she keeps up all entertained....after we filled up..we headed home ...I was a little depressed...my mom measured me while I was there and she had my measurements from when I was 19 so I had to compare. I weighed 5 lbs less...and I have lost inches BUT my hips are still out from having Mati. They are 4 inches bigger...OMG...I was probably more disappointed bc this is the hardest I have ever worked to be in shape. so...it sucked...but I guess it only motivated me to do more...enough of that...I had to work an event all the way in the Woodlands, I got home about 11...Josh did the yard while I was gone so..I got out of that this weekend....We chatted and then crashed..

Sunday was our usual Sunday school class...we went to Gringo's after for the first time in forever...then we ran some errands... I got Mati some more new clothes...and shoes...then we headed home for a nap....Mati had other plans...she crawled all over us and just wanted to play. Sunday night we actually went back to church....and crazy it was over super early...so we headed home and I went for a run...Josh did the medicine ball with me once I got back and my ab's are so sore. We did a massive clean and hit the hay...

All about Mati.... She is becoming quite a handful lately...she is talking up a storm and can say multiple words. This past weekend she also parroted Josh...which is huge... He went to change her diaper and said "we got poop"....Mati said "poop" right after him...I was floored...Not to mention Josh put her on the floor with her toys last night and she clapped and said "play"...."play"...I think it is so neat to watch her grow...She is so smart and every stage just becomes more fun than the last. She has turned into a complete clown. She makes tons of faces and loves to make you laugh. She also slept in her crib all weekend....She is starting to understand that no...means no....after many attempts over the weekend...I don't get such a big laugh out of her when I tell her no.... She knows she is the center of attention and eats it up...heaven help us when baby number 2 comes along.....many moons later of course..... :)
