Snow Day

Little Momma had a snow day last week and since I wasn't feeling well and we obviously had nothing better to do.... I put makeup on them.  Not your run of the mill fake stuff you buy down the toy aisle.... MOMMY MAKE-UP.  This is how they looked after: 

Valentine's Day

I wanted to be sure that I documented this act of kindness, BEFORE I vent in the next post.  My husband had told me he got me something for Valentine's Day this year.  He wouldn't tell me what, and said I had to wait until the actual day (oh and I couldn't get on the bank account - (I am the accountant)).   Hmmm..... and honestly?  I did NOT peek!  Monday came and I got these delivered in a box (with no flower food like advertised I might add..... although... NOT the hubby's fault).

Which later bloomed to be this.  Beautiful, I know.  Stargazers and Iris'.   Truly beautiful flowers, just a little too potent for my unfortunate "pregnancy" nose.  One of the biggest downfalls for me EVERY pregnancy is the heightened sense of smell that I experience. Truly, not a very good thing most days. The iris' were beginning to die and the stargazers were still blooming.  I had to throw them out (I wanted to suffer through but I kept getting sick).  THANK YOU FOR THE FLOWERS!!!  (and chocolate)

Got Punxsutawney??

Being the Pennsylvanian that I am, I have to show my Groundhog Day pride today since our dear groundhog, Phil, did not see his shadow this morning!!!   I am sure you are all wondering what his prediction was because it most definitely wasn't on Yahoo news today!   #1 told me this morning that her teacher told them all to keep their fingers crossed that Phil wouldn't see his shadow today - TaDa!  It worked!!!  Here's to hoping tomorrow will indeed be different (except for the beautiful weather we had today)! 

Exercise Entry #5

Ok, so there has been a little sporadic amidst the exercising of late.  Some mornings (and days) it was raining which squashed my morning run.  Others it was raining in the evening or I needed to fulfill my role as "Mom".  Some, I was just plain exhausted.  I have continued running in the morning as often as I can.  This week I have gone every morning but this morning due to rain - it was in the 60's already just after 7 am, but I just couldn't get past the wind and rain. =(   Another excuse has crawled in as well..... I'm PREGNANT!!  Yes, that can put a damper on a quest for losing weight like I have.  However, it can also be pretty driving as well.  Since I had already started running before I found out I was pregnant, I should be able to continue.  I will most likely not add more distance to the run, but just continue to help my body be accustomed to the distance.  I still use my bike at home too.   Getting a schedule for that is a little more of a challenge.   The hubby has a dental surgery appt tomorrow so his day of work will start much earlier - squashing my chance at a run.  I guess tomorrow morning will find me on my bike.  Now if I could only read a book while on the bike, or blog, or check out sales while on the bike, I would be a very fit soul indeed!  

The nausea has set in as well.  This morning my stomach wasn't up for much - I think a yogurt was all it could take without WANTING to chuck it.  So far, I have been able to keep it all down.... and it seems it is only in the morning as well.  Maybe if we could just get it to cooperate with my striving for a healthy diet.  Love the healthy stuff, chuck the not-so-healthy?!   Eh, I can wish can't I??
