Oh the weekend....and now the week

Where did it go? I am not sure, but it flew by. What did I do? I am not sure, but it flew by.

JEP has been acting kind of weird since Friday. Friday night, I thought it was just because they gave her ice cream and cookies as a snack at school (yeah, I know...blew my mind too) but she was weird all weekend long. Fussy, crying, not wanting to be set down (almost like colic stuff). I think she hurt, but not sure where. She got two more teeth in this past week, so it could be that. Or, I hope not, it might be another ear infection. Gosh, what did people do 30-years ago when we were kids and ear infections were not the #1 diagnosis? We all turned out fine, right? Oh, I digress. I wish I knew what was wrong with her. She took two very long naps on Saturday (which I didn't mind) but I took as a sign that I was boring and she wanted her friends to play with. It is funny that when I drop her off at school, she seems to perk right up like she is no longer tired or cranky. I guess I should be happy that she enjoys going to school. It is a good sign that the teachers are good and she is making friends. It will be next year when I go to drop her off and she cries and cries that she doesn't want mommy to leave and I will feel so bad that I have to leave her. Ok, I will be OK with how it is now.

We went to get her a Convertible seat this weekend. I will tell you, there are TOO MANY OPTIONS out there. Ranging from $40 to over $350. What the heck...why the range. Is there really a price on safety? So we opted for the $150 one. Black and grey to match the car...and a lot of padding so she will be comfortable. Heck, she will have this until she is 8-years old (it converts to a booster seat too). Then we went to install it...right...pretty difficult. I think I am going to take it to the fire dept to have them check it. It is because she is still facing backwards that I think it was so difficult to install and it looks a bit loose. I think once she is facing forward (gosh only a couple months until she is 1yr old) the seat will be more secure. Now, we need to figure out what we are going to do if my mom picks her up from school or if dad drives her to school. No more car seat that pops out to carry her...might need to find a couple cheap ones at a resale. Then I started thinking, gosh, no more running to the store when she is sleeping. I would be able to just pop that thing out right into the stroller or the cart and reel her around with her sleeping. Now I actually will have to wake her up and put her in the cart or stroller. Then, we wonder about church. We go to the 9am service and usually she falls asleep on the way to church, we pop her into her stroller and roll her into Promiseland where she sleeps most of the time. That is her regular morning nap time. Now what? Will that move, will she not nap? I don't know how that is going to work. And we cannot go to the 11am because if she does go down for a nap we don't know if she will be up for the 11am. Oh, the new trials that come along with change!

Not to mention, JEP is getting up at 4am again. Gosh girl...don't you know the value of sleep?

OK, what else, I do have some fitness updates I need to make on my Health Blog, so check that site in a bit.

Still stressed out about this whole business website thing. Gosh, the amount of options that are out there. And there is no real baseline. They all have different options and different lures that catch you, bring you in, and if you don't read the fine print, suck you for $50 a month. Yuk. But we have to do something tonight because our domain name expires tomorrow. So we at least have to renew that (not sure how without a host chosen). So that is weighing on my mind.

I feel bad about how lazy I have been, not only at work (that is a whole other issue) but just at home. It seems I have all these great intentions to do, do, do (do ra, do ra, la, la, la...sorry, I digress again) but then when I get home from work I am exhausted and the ONLY think I want to do is drink a glass of wine (or two or three) and veg. Not to mention how contagious that is. One night of that, breeds into the next night, then you might as well order pizza the next night because you are too lazy to cook, then you might as well forgo walking the dog because you are too tired (from sitting around eating and drinking). Ahhhh, make it stop!

OK, enough negativity!! Focus on one thing today, one thing tomorrow, and so on. The whole list of stuff does not need to be done today. That is, I think, where my problem lies right now. There are soo many things started (or that need to be started), and that are not getting finished (because I get interrupted by JEP or just life in general) that I am overwhelmed. There is too much right now. I have to break it down and deal with one thing at a time. Close it out. Check it off my list. Then move on to the next. And give the other things to God in the meantime so they don't distract me. OK...that is my goal this week.

I am set!
