SLUFFERS
Erika, Molly, Sadie, and I all stayed home from church this week. This flu bug has been winning. I was glad I kept Sadie home because she screamed for the first half hour after everyone left. She was not happy. Wouldn’t nurse. It was not good. But thankfully she eventually fell asleep. So I sat on the couch almost the entire two hours that everyone was at church!
BUDDY'S BIRTHDAY
It was pretty cute that everyone was so sweet to Buddy on his birthday. I think he actually felt kinda special :). He got his floor pillow a few days later as a gift from Nate. 1-27-20
15 DAY CHALLENGE
So I'm doing it! I've been planning and anticipating doing this challenge again ever since I stopped doing Keto during Sadie's pregnancy. I knew I was going to need it to jump start my weight loss again. I initially planned on waiting until I was done nursing, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I NEED to lose some of this weight! It's just really getting to me. So I started this Tuesday! I was shocked at my Day 1 weigh in = motivation. My mom just offered me one of her old dresses that she not longer fits in (she's losing weight since her bariatric surgery) = motivation. That Day 1 workout nearly killed me and when I think about how easy it was 3 years ago when I did this = motivation. So. I'm doing it! I've been doing really good (it's been 5 days) no slip ups yet! I don't know why I said yet. But anyway. I hope this helps!! 1-28-20
SHOPPING WITH DAD
I got to go birthday shopping with my Dad on Tuesday! This is always a lot of fun. I get to ride in a Tesla, hanging out with my dad, and pick out the perfect gift :). I picked a Joann gift card again-- that was such a great gift a few years ago. Then we drove down to Salt Lake to the Cheesecake Factory (that's our place!) for some food. I had to get something different this time because I am doing the challenge (if I'd thought about it I would have waited one more day), but it was actually really good! I might have to switch to a new usual :). We hurried back to Centennial Junior High for Brad's Uncle Drews team game. Got there at half time and it wasn't my favorite game. Kind of uneventful. But we had fun. I'm so grateful for my dad! He is so good to me. It was nice to talk and have his support on a few things that have been bothering me. I basically talked his ear off :). I was super grateful for Nate watching Sadie so I could go- that was huge! Especially when I found out he'd been cleaning up Molly's throw up while I was gone! And had to miss Brad's game. He sacrificed a lot for me that night- I really appreciated it!! He left shortly after to work the mid. 1-28-20
MINISTERING INTERVIEW
Shelley said some really cool things at our interview this time. I loved how he related our small efforts to the loaves and fishes and how Heavenly Father can magnify our efforts. Made me think I could actually do this! She also made it clear that we need to do more for Mary Jo. I've got to think of something. I liked praying for them with Charity and Kelly afterwards. 1-28-20
FHE
We had a condensed FHE on Tuesday night (our Mondays are swallowed up in Basketball right now... frowny face), since we got home so late. But it was nice to talk and get some feelings out there. We will do better next week. 1-28-20
TUESDAY NIGHT
So Tuesday was pretty full and ended with some pretty chaotic-ness, so I wasn't too surprised that I was up all night dealing with it all some more. Nate was gone so I let Molly sleep in our bed with a bowl. She woke me up about every half hour to do something- throw up, tell me she's hungry or thirsty, or just crying/whining. That was rough. Then Sadie tag teamed with her, waking me up right when I would doze off. It was tricky to be sitting in Sadie's room, feeding her, and then hear Molly up in my room coughing and stuff-- worrying that she was throwing up or something! So stressful! I had completely talked myself out of doing my workout and my eating challenge, etc. by about 3:30. I did manage to squeeze in an hour or so of sleep. I snoozed a little, putting off my shower and combining up some of my morning stuff. Anyway. The shock of all shockers- I actually did my studying, drinking my protein, then I. the tired mom. did. my. workout! I did it!!! The whole thing! It about killed me too! Burpees are NOT my friend right now. How did I get used to them before. I was pretty proud of myself though!! I was able to kind of take it easy Wednesday. Slept a little on the couch. I was SO SORE from my workout the day before I could hardly move. Molly was still a little off too. Although, thankfully, she did not throw up again that day. She got some "water pops" (that's how she says Otter Pops) and toast and then finally, her drink of water! It's so hard to not let them drink when they're sick!! 1-28-20
MAKE A CAKE
Charity and her two friends, Carter and Denver, were our entertainment Friday night- they were making a cake in our kitchen. We all sat around watching them :). It was pretty funny! 1-29-20
LUKE AT THE DRIVING RANGE
Luke got to go to Top Golf today for Jaxx's birthday party and apparently he was pretty awesome at it! Pretty cool! Now he has a pass for life to go there :). We'll have to try it out sometime. 2-1-20
BASKETBALL
Today's games were awesome! It was just Brad and his and Luke's, Luke went to Jaxx's birthday party, and we missed Luke a ton! Brad played awesome though! And was so good at passing to his teammates and letting them be awesome too :). They won by a ton! Then after the game one of the moms came over and told me how grateful she was that Brad, even though he is clearly the "star of the team", still passes and gives his teammates a chance. She went on and on about how good Nate has been and how good Bradley has been for her son and that he's been able to build so much confidence this year and that he's been able to improve a ton! I was so happy! So proud of my boys! It was a fun compliment to receive for them! Mom paycheck! 2-1-20
