Morning

Got to spend the morning with just my Mookie. I love getting to pay all my attention just to him and getting to snuggle him all morning long.

I wanted to make sure we didn't just vege out all morning long so we made some crayon hearts which actually kept his attention for a long time so that will be something we will have to repeat. After they were done cooking and cooling off Mookie carried them everywhere with him worried Booboo would eat them. So cute. He kept on saying they were a surprise for his papa.

After that since Valentine's Day kinda sucked around here I decided I would make up for it by making some sugar cookies we could decorate and so we did and then Mookie ended up with frosting from head to toe, literally.

Now he is off to dreamland while I snuggle him and take in these beautiful moments that I am sure are not gonna last long enough. I love this little angel. He makes me the happiest mama in the world.

I can feel summer almost here

We took Mookie to pick out his swim trunks and some summer pool toys. I have never seen a kid more excited about this. It was actually pretty cute. He made sure we didn't forget to buy him his floaties. I didn't get all the toys I wanted since they haven't put everything out yet.

I cannot wait for summer to get here. This winter has sucked big time since we really didn't get enough snow to actually go out and play in. The hole winter Mookie would wake up asking if there was enough snow to make a snowman. Not once have I been able to say yes. Poor guy. So we have been stuck indoors all winter and we are ready to live mainly outdoors.

My run in with a cop

Last night on my way to drop my mom off at home I decided I wanted her to go to Walmart with me so I turned around and started to head to Walmart. At this point I see cops about a block and a half away but not on my lane (oh and this is a 5 lane road) so I figured my lane was opened. Then I see some cars slowing down and so I slow down one car starts talking to a cop and meanwhile the cop has a light wand is moving the wand around and I thought he meant to go around so I start to go around and then he jumps out in front of my car and screams "turn around or I'll put a bullet through your head" ummmmmm..........

I do not know how I didn't poop myself, honestly because to hear someone who carriers a gun for a job and has the authority to shot you it is a crazy feeling. All I thought was holy s**t I am a mom to the most beautiful little man and I cannot be shot to death for no reason.

I turned around meanwhile this douchebag is still yelling and cussin at me. I was left in completely shock and disbelief. I normally respect cops and support them very much as I know how dangerous their job is but this moron sure did a number on me. One jerk like this can truly ruin it for the rest of the cops and that why cops get a bad rap.

Now my turn

I am now deathly ill.

For real!

I told Jon it was good knowing him and he totally laughed at me but I wasn't joking.

It's like the black plague hit our house and what this sickness is its super bipolar cause one second I am freezing with uncontrollable chills the next second I am sweating more than I ever have and that's just part of it.

I am super sad I wasn't able to do my running today but I barely had enough energy to leave my bed today let alone run.

I hope tomorrow I wake up feeling tons better. If not drugs will be my friends.

Week 1, Day 3

DONE! I am so proud of myself. Enough said, ha.

Last night I ended up having to take Mookie to the doctor's because I just felt like it was more than just a cold.

When we got there and the doctor listened to his tummy and noticed a lot of gas so she had him get an X-ray. Then she ordered a swap test to see if he has strep.

Turns out my poor boy is backed up big time so his stomach hurting and issues have to do with that so she told me to get Miralax. The weird thing is he has been pooping but I guess not enough. Poor thing. Then he has strep so she send us home with some antibiotics.

Today has been a little rough but we made it. Thank goodness I was already scheduled off for today cause all he has wanted is to snuggle me all day long.

Sick

On Monday I took Baby to an indoor playground which I normally hate doing because of all the germs but we needed to kill some time.

After being there for some time a mom gets on a call with a doctor and starts telling the doctor her kids symptoms. The one child who was the "sickest" had been playing with Baby and some other kids for a while.

It took everything in me not to wanna yell at this woman. Why in the world are you out with sick children at a playground? Are people really that dumb? I mean no offense but I never take my child out while he is sick cause I would feel horrible if he got other kids sick. Clearly some parents don't care but you better believe next time I will not keep my mouth shut when I am in that same situation cause it sucks being woken up at 2:30am by being puked on and then noticing your child is on fire.

Now I am having to miss work to take care of my sick baby. Thank goodness my brother is pretty amazing and will go work for me.

Week 1, Day 2

My second day into my training for the 5k in March is done.

I am shocked at how good I feel.

Funny thing is I always heard how important shoes were and I always buy the "cute" sneakers. This time around Jon told me not to look at how cute but how comfortable. That was hard to do but I truly did pick the most comfortable shoes. My feet do not hurt nor do my shins hurt. That has never happened. I am super happy with my choice in shoes even though they are not "cute".

Train ride

Yesterday after work I was ready for bed which is no bueno since it was just Baby and I till about 8:30.

Since sleeping was not an option I decided to take Baby to McDonalds for an early dinner an for him to play there. We stayed for over an hour and then he was pretty ton with that so I was now left with nothing else but to go home which I didn't want to do. So....I looked up what time the next train was coming by and had just enough time to go home shower put some warm clothes on the both of us and make it to the train station.

We went down to Salt Lake City And met up with Jon. We had a blast walking around even though it was freezing. It was so pretty walking around the Gateway. Baby had a blast directing us where to go.

We walked back to the train station instead of taking TRAX. That was scary even for me who is from Philly, ha.

All in all we had an amazing night and I loved spending the evening with my 2 favorite men.

Week 1, Day 1

Oh my gosh does it feel good to run!

Today I did my Week 1, Day 1 of a "couch to 5k" program and it went better than expected. I haven't ran in so many years I thought I wasn't going to be able to finish the workout but I did.

I am so proud of myself! Can you tell?

So I will be doing the 5k in March and then I am now signed up to do a 36 mile bike ride in June so whether I want to or not I need to get in shape.

Weird

My child is so weird.

No, really he is.

At least when it comes to eating.

I am now giving him 2 pediasures a day one in the morning one at night. That makes me feel good because I know he is getting the essentials his body needs to grow. Since I started doing this I haven't been stressing as much about him eating and somehow he now is more hungry all the time. He now asks for food every 3 hours.

However he is still super picky so he will only eat a few things.

Here is where my child is weird. He loves bananas (or bubanas as he calls them) peanut butter, milk and chocolate. This morning after breakfast he said he was hungry so I figured I will put all those things together and make a thick milkshake that we can eat as ice cream. I thought I would be the coolest mom ever. I made it and it turned out yummy but after he helped me make it he looked at it and said "that is yucky, ewwy" I asked him to try it and that was enough for him to throw a tantrum.

I am now so confused. He helped me make it and he loves all those things and some how all together is yucky. So after that he asked me to make him another snack. After an hour of trying to get him to eat/drink the milkshake I made him some cut up bananas with peanut butter and he ate them right up with a glass of milk. What in the world? I hope one day I can understand my baby with his eating ways.
