Finally!

After almost two days, I was finally able to take a shower! I also worked out for the first time in three days. Since I couldn't take a shower for the last two days, I didn't want to workout and work up a sweat! I definitely do not like going without a shower, my scalp and hair starts to look and feel greasy! I always hated that look!

After a short break from working out, it felt great to workout again! I couldn't wait to Turbo Jam again!

In the last few days, we couldn't take a shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry! Why?! My in-laws had their septic tank pumped again (it's only been a few months since the last time). They bought this product that is supposed to be a septic tank cleaner. After they had their septic tank pumped, they had to dump the product into the septic tank. Apparently, you are supposed to refrain from using water as much as possible for the first few days!!! So basically, we have been eating off of paper plates with plastic forks. We have all refrained from taking showers too! UGH! I am just glad that it's over.

I must be bored!

I must be bored with my current workouts with Turbo Jam. While I love Turbo Jam, I just need a change. I've been doing the same 5 workouts for almost a year now and it's definitely getting old. I am still waiting for my workout DVD that I ordered a few weeks ago! I am still looking forward to that workout.

Since I had another $15 gift card from Amazon from another online program that I used, I just ordered two pilates DVDs tonight! Soon I will have a small collection of workout DVDs to rotate!

I definitely miss my pilates workouts! I did a few pilates videos online last week and I could tell it's been too long! The challenge will be good for me. Now I just need to find my pilates mat that's still packed away.

I am looking forward to working on my core and other muscles. Turbo Jam helped me slim down, but pilates can help in many other ways that Turbo Jam can't.

Overall, I am just bored and need a change! I am excited to try my workouts and ready for the new challenge!

Snow Make up Day

Kyle has school tomorrow, it's a "snow make up day." A few weeks ago, Kyle missed a whole week of school, due to the weather/snow! Tomorrow was originally supposed to be a holiday, but it's a make up day for all students. Either way, Kyle loves school!

Since Kyle takes the bus, I have to set the alarm a little earlier just so I can get up early enough to get ready, get Kyle up and dressed and to the bus stop on time. I don't want to be one of those moms who takes her son to the bus stop in her pajamas! LOL I like to get dressed and semi-presentable! I have to slap on some "war paint" and warm clothes! I don't put on all of my war paint, just my foundation, bronzer, and mineral veil!

First Day on the Bus!

Today was Kyle's first day riding the school bus to school! I was nervous that he would get scared and/or freak out! He woke up pretty quickly as usual, especially since I told him it's a school day! He just loves going to school. I got him dressed and ready to go. I walked him to the bus stop, which is just down the street. He was just fine with the walk because he knew he had his school clothes, jacket, and backpack on. I asked kept singing, "we're going to school, we're going to school..." I also kept reminding him that "we're going to see Ms. Pam (his teacher)." When the bus pulled up, he got scared and tried to walk away. To him, the bus must be HUGE and it's a loud vehicle! I think the noise scared him, if anything. I lifted him up on the first step (since it's about 2 feet off the ground) and helped him up to the second step and into the helper's reach.

This afternoon, Kyle's teacher called to let us know what time to pick him up from the bus stop. She said the bus driver said that he did really well on the bus. He didn't cry either! He was just fine! I am so glad he adjusted so well to riding the bus, as it is a brand new experience for him!

When it was time to meet him at the bus stop, my MIL walked down the street with me. She brought her digital camera and took a few pics of Kyle getting off the bus. Apparently, Kyle fell asleep on the way home on the bus! These were taken just after he woke up to get off the bus!




Kyle came home with Valentine's Day goodies! He made a few Valentine's at school! They are really cute! Both are in a heart-shaped! One of them is decorated with buttons and glitter. The other has his handprint in the middle, decorated with glitter! Both are adorable! He also has Valentine's candy, which I will be raiding (he's too young to have that much candy). I feel bad I didn't get Valentine's cards for Kyle's classmates. I forgot what it's like being in elementary school, I remember exchanging Valentine's cards with my entire class!

No Butts, No Cuts, No Coconuts!

I received my coconut oil today! This was from the order that I placed on Amazon and it cost me $0!!! I am still waiting on the second half of my order from Amazon. They are from different vendors, so they are sent from two different locations. I can't wait to get my new workout DVD!

Here is a list of uses for coconut oil. I love that this is all natural and has many uses for beauty! I can also use it in my cooking! I also love the NOW Brand, a lot of my natural products are made by them.

Fun pics

Here are some fun pics I took with my son.

I can't believe I caught him smiling here!

He realized he saw himself on the screen and he was reaching out towards the camera!

That's Daddy's knee on the left. Kyle was distracted when we took this one.

Homemade Baby Announcement

Some friends of ours recently had a baby. Their baby was actually born on the day that Kyle was due, according to his ultrasound. Here is a picture of the homemade baby announcement they sent us!

Anyway, I thought the homemade card was so cute! I am now interested in making cards or at least trying it! I am looking at starter kits for card making.
