I never thought being a Mom would keep me so busy. I honestly can't remember the last time I SAT DOWN and watched a movie without interruptions. Hell, the last time I made it out to an actual movie at the theater was when Twilight came out and my mom begged me to go with her back in Octoberish? I could have thought of other movies I would have rather seen. Before that it was seeing Bridesmaids when it was out in theaters around May of last year.
Ever since I came back to work from maternity leave, I have been so OUT OF CONTROL busy on the weekends. We have had some kind of Birthday party, wedding, friend get-together, karaoke contest, holiday event, cookout, etc.- EVERY weekend since the beginning of the year.
I am finally exhausted with it! Does it ever stop?
Here's what I did last night before crashing:
- I worked until 6pm
- Drove home
- Changed clothes
- Cleaned the new-old stove that my hubby had. Ours finally quit and he had a spare (2-3 yr old) stove at his parents from his previous marriage.
- Edited pictures from the baby shower I did last weekend until Shawn had the stove hooked up and running.
- Cooked supper (Tilipia and some butter noodles)
Folded some clothes- Ate supper
- Edited some more photos while Shawn ate and I held Brynn while she slept
- Fed Brynn
- Worked out to some TF 45/10 stretch for an hour
- Played with Brynn
- Took the trash out
- Emptied and refilled the dishwasher
- Washed all of Brynn's 20-something bottles in the house by hand
- Did 2 loads of laundry
- Put the sheets back onto the bed
- Fed Brynn again and changed diaper
- Played with Brynn some more until it was near 11:30pm (since she was wide awake).
- FINALLY CRASHED AT 11:45pm
It's pretty amazing that I don't weigh a buck-ten with how busy I am. I guess it's because I love food too much!
I don't think there is ANYTHING anyone can tell you to prepare you for having a child.
I think it makes it exceptionally harder for me seeing that I DO everything around the house and have 1 full time job and 2 part time extras for extra spending money. WHAT WAS I THINKING?
So here's what's planned for this weekend:
- Rehearsal dinner tonight for the wedding Shawn is in tomorrow
- Getting the yard mowed
- Cleaning the bathrooms
- Vacuuming the entire house
- Laundry
- An all day wedding on Saturday in which I am the photographer for and Shawn is in the actual wedding and singing 2 of the main reception songs
- Finding a gift for my mother for Mother's Day
- A possible mother's day cookout at my parents on Sunday for Mother's Day.
- And hopefully keeping my sanity through all of that!!!!
Who needs some MO-TIV-A-TION?
THIS GAL SURE DOES!
Actually, I have done a fabulous job this week with my weight loss. I lost the weight I gained from last week and I think I have lost some more inches finally. I'll have that exciting post on Monday for my readers. :)
Today's quote is so fitting. I was frustrated last week from my lack of progress on weight. Thankfully, I picked myself back up this week! Regardless of your results, keep pushing yourself.... You WILL find success through your hard work and efforts. ---->
<<<< ------ I want all of that! That to me is the perfect body shape. Whoever this lady is, she has some BEAUTIFUL curves!
That's all for today!
XOXO
