One Before Bed

I jinxed myself.
Aubree isn't on a fabulous schedule anymore.
Also, she's been quite whiny lately. I swear I think it's because I play with her (a lot). She gets bored really easy and whines around all the time.
Just being honest-- it's driving me a little batty!
Maybe I should start playing with her less. Ha. See how crazy this whole motherhood thing can be?


Lots of cool stuff coming up:

May 10th- Mother's Day
June 21st- Father's Day AND Derek's Birthday!
Should have some company this summer
......and can't forget:

Silver Linings

I am thankful for:

Afrin.

Having Aubree on an awesome schedule.

My Mom being in jail. I know that sounds crazy. Some of you may not have even known she was in jail (drugs) but I have a strong suspicion where she'd be today if she wasn't and having her alive in jail beats the alternative anyday.

My Mom getting out of jail in July/August. Hopefully she's learned her lesson and can meet Aubree.

Aubree's hair growing. The child's looking more like a girl everyday :)

Sunshine. Good for my mood/outlook/skin.

Having 2 cordless phones. 1's always dying.

The slight possibility that my friend Lori may come see me soon.

AMAZING Grace



This video was played Easter Sunday at our church. It really got to me & Derek. Too good not to share. You can watch sermons online www.centralchristian.com

Myspace repeats




Happy (Belated) Earth Day!
She kinda just blends in.

Quote of the Day

"Just because you have the money to buy it doesn't mean you can afford it."
- Brooke Crismond

1,2,3,4

1- Number of times I've had a babysitter. We left her with my Dad once (while she was asleep) to go look for a Christmas tree. We were gone a little over an hour.

2- The number of new releases I've watched this week. Bedtime Stories & Yes Man. It's also 2:00am currently.

3- The size of Aubree's bathing suit. Yeah, I know.

4- The number of days it's supposed to be 90 (degrees) or above!

July plans

I'm becoming a vegetarian in July. Only for July. The entire month of July.

No meat- at all!

I picked July because fruits & veggies were in peak season and it's hot, so who really wants meat then anyway. Right?

I thought I could propose the idea to others. It might save a few animals along the way. Maybe lower cholesterol a little bit.... Probably a few other health benefits.

It says in the bible we should eat meat sparingly. We should eat life (things that grow) and not death. That's what I plan to do-- for July anyway.

Twelve

1) current candle scents: Mango Pineapple (thanks Brandi!)

2) what i am currently reading: The Message
3) newest music i added my playlist: Gosh.. something for Aubree or Kings of Leon.

4) movies i saw: Marley & Me was the last. Seven Pounds right before that.

5) something yummy i made this month: Haven’t done much home cooking. Coffee?

6) the last place i ate out: Taco Bell (forever ago! I’m trying not to eat out much anymore)

7) something that made me cry: (see #4)

8) something that made me laugh: Aubree trying to talk.

9) something i looked forward to this month: Easter? (not really, though, church will be PACKED!)

10) something i am thankful for: being back in school.

11) something i want to remember about this month: Well, today is the only the 4th, so… Um… Aubree is completely off the bottle!

12) a photo i took this month: *from March

Right now...

Enjoying-

1.) Great value honey wheat pretzels - YUM!
2.) Playing with Dixon. I watched Marley & Me. It was SO sad! Made me realize how much I really love Dixon even though I want to strangle him when he wakes up Clare.
3.) Getting ahead on my homework. I am more than 1 full week ahead. Go me!


Thinking about-

1.) How I wish the cleaning fairy would come visit me tonight so I won't be in a bad mood when I wake-up in the morning and look at my kitchen.
2.) Aubree needs some bigger sized jeans but I don't want to buy them because I think it's going to be hot really soon.
3.) My Dad coming to see me in June! I get so excited when family & friends come to town. I miss having friends :(

For now...

Appreciating-

1.) How easy Aubree gave up her bottle. She's never had a passy, so... Potty training here we come (in about 6 months!)
2.) Derek getting off work early tonight.
3.) Fresh fruit!

Thinking about-

1.) The possibility of moving to California!
2.) Watching Marley & Me with Aubree in the morning since she loves movies with dogs.
3.) What to do this weekend. Pet-a-palooza or Freemont St. concert.... or nothing!

Enjoying-

1.) Having my vacuum cleaner back.
2.) Walks with my kids! We took 2 today. It's so pretty outside (85)
3.) My backyard: the radio, the fence, the veggies I'm growing!
