3/52 weeks of happy

This week I started pretty well. I started back  exercising and I felt awesome. So awesome that I ran a little

Later in the week my friends and I walked a small path near our homes. It was very peaceful. God made this beautiful world. Im so thankful that I get to be a part of it to see its beauty.

By far the happiest part of my week happened on Sabbath and of course involved my little lion cub. One of  his adoptive grandmothers at the church bought him this cute blue suit for Christmas. And he looks amazing! Everything I put on him he looks great in.  He's a good looking kid.

190

190.

Thats how much I weighed on, the first day of the year. The church is having a biggest loser contest and me and 3 of my buddies signed up. The kick off date was yesterday Jan 19 and I actually weighed in at 185 lbs so Im already on a good start. I will probably post weigh-in on Wednesday so stay tune for my updates

Manic Monday Moods

Relationships are by fast the most complicated aspect of life. Giving yourself freely to a person is not an easy task. Having to take in account someone elses feelings and sometimes putting yours aside to avoid conflit makes even the sweet iest person on earth a little flustered.

But isnt it great how we have God on our side. He has our back. And with Him we can always do whats right.

http://bible.us/Col3.17.KJV And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Lord help us to not have a manic Monday as we rush to get our day and work we started. God please give us a loving heart. We thank you for wanting to see that we do good deeds to others. And we want to please you. Amen.

its been a long time.

Its been a long minute since the last post. My life has been filled with great beautiful moments. And some less unhappy ones. All and all life has been good.
Well as you know I had my beautiful baby boy.
 Enrolled back into school.
 Got a part time job.
All while still trying to crochet.
I recently started attending church again. OMG I feel so much better for it. I know in my heart that I had to put God first in order for the rest of my life to fall into order. I have never been happier. The lion cub was also dedicated to the church and I was baptized.  Pictures are coming soon.
I realise that there are a lot of areas in my life I need to work on. Things are not going to be fixed over night but I know that in time things will get better.

I love watching the lion cub grow.
I think he is going to walk before Christmas. That would be the most awesome Christmas gift ever.
He is so amazingly smart. Yesterday he was drinking out of my cup. I caught drinking water. I got to get better at having the camera ready for these moments.

Until next time be sweet.

Losing my mind with a few other things

Yesterday I thought I lost my mind along with a few other things. Over the weekend I managed to lost my wallet, textbook, and my some butt paste oh and my DH's cell phone. On top of that dh is sick. I really hate when men are sick. Its like the END of the world. Seriously.  He becomes incapable of completing any task. And some how he turns into a giant sick crappy 3 year old child. I would like to think that I am a empathic person. I am but I have limits.  I also like to think that I am the queen of the world.
I started school! Yea! Its not that bad. I am going to stay positive. So far my biggest challenge is remembering to wake up early to do a little studying. Because trying to study with a 5 month old is a joke. I tried reading out loud. That worked for a little while. The little lion cub pounced on top of my book and began to nipple on the pages. I find myself repeating often when we read books BOOKS ARE FOR READING SON NOT FOR EATING. I think I might crossstitch that phrase near our bookcase.
My dh found my book and his cell phone. He went out and picked up a new tube of butt paste. I think I'll keep him, he is pretty great most of the time. So I made sure to take extra care of my giant 3 year old. I made him chicken soup and a hot cup of tea. I told him to get in bed and gave him the laptop.

playtime

Pinterest is way to addictive. That is where you will find me at 3 in the morning with the little cub in my lap drinking boob juice and me logged on to pinterest in awe. There is always something new to find or try out. I LOVE it. Lately my addiction has me apsiring to start weekend projects and taking second glances as I pass the trashcan. Scoping out the goods. Recently, I was inspired by a post online when I saw two perfectly great looking chairs that needed a little loving. I plan to sand them down and find some pretty fabric to make them pop. Before and after Pictures are in the near future.

Today the little cub and I did a little sensory play. I got the idea from Taylor over at More Than ABC's and 123's.I don't know when she posted it but at the time of her post her little one was the same age as my little cub. Any whoo she put rice in a container and allow her daughter to play. I pretty much did the same thing except I learned a few things about this play time:

• While the rice is too small for my 4 month old to pick up that will not stop him from flinging rice all over my living room floor.
• I probably should have let him play in the rice in a bigger container. I had a cooking container that I havent used and it seemed like that would work.

I loved playing with him. We listened to Veggietales and I gave him a few plastic bowls and wooden spoons. I think he had a good time.
