Barretts Wedding

Jett's nap

So I was hurrying to get ready for work when I noticed it was too quiet. Worried Jett was playing in the plants I rushed to find him all zonked out.

Photos?

So lately I have been looking at every photo of me and wanting to barf. I am not pleased with the way this body and face look. I try to be motivated to work out, but unfortunaley I really like to eat and its hard to work out when Jett screams in an child care. Its very frustrating.

Last night I was looking at pictures of Barrett's wedding (which I will post, don't you worry) and decided I could do something about it. I was trying to photoshop them and happened upon a beautiful youtube tutorial on how to make yourself look skinny. VOILA! Instant diet. I am kind of excited. NO more photo shame. Maybe that will be motivation to take care of myself.

In the mean time, I am going to go to the church fitness classes twice a week and see if Jett gets better at going there. I figure it will be warm up for nursery in 4 months.

Vintage Chair Reupholstered

So Bree found an awesome chair at the junk yard and I promised to help her tackle the job. I would get books from the library and try to convince her that we could do it. Well the day has come, and we finally finished the chair. I think we are both motivated to get the matching sofa done as soon as we get the energy.

Cola cola

I think the coke or diet coke I have daily is the most relaxing part of my day. Is that sad?

Worst Day Ever

So my parents are in Mexico. Last week when I dropped them off my dad said, I think we get in about the same time next week. 9:30. I will send you an email. Well, last night I started panicking thinking, NO EMAIL. So I mentally freaked out and woke up every 20 minutes from 6:00 am on. Finally I packed up Jett and the bag, went over to my moms, grabbed her car and drove to the airport. I keep trying all of their cell phones, nobody has their phone on. I think, ok, they are still in customs, no biggie. I park in the cell phone waiting area (genius idea by the way) and wait. I keep checking the phone when all of a sudden I get a facebook email from my mom saying that she was excited to see me TONIGHT and that dad thought the time was still 9:30. Along with flight info to track it BEFORE I left for the airport, you know, so you don't have to wait! AHHHH

SO I start the car and begin driving. BING BING the has light comes on. It must have beeped before when my dad drove us all TOO the airport and I missed it, because the level is WAAAAY low and it is giving me mean messages. SO I being driving, looking out for the nearest gas station. Jett starts FREAKING OUT. I try handing him food in the back seat, he chucks it on the floor. I am trying not to yell, just saying, Jetty, don't throw that! Here, have some crackers! Its not going well. So I pull over and let him out of the seat for a minute. Instantly happy.

Jett, we don't have any gas, we can't just park here and play. We have got to go home. Suddenly the stress of just getting home is getting to my head. Jett is screaming, I am watching the gas line, while driving, handing Jett treats, and looking for a gas station. Finally I pull into one. I being searching for my wallet. HMMM where is it? I CAN'T FIND IT. I left it in MY CAR. IN MY MOMS DRIVEWAY. I try calling Mick just in case I don't make it and he has to come rescue me. Not only does he not answer the phone, my phone is about dead with no charger. I can't handle it. I am blocking out Jett's screams just saying to myself repeatedly, we are almost to my moms house!

Needless to say, I got to her house, found my wallet, switched cars and went home. Then I realize I have a meeting today for work that I was hoping my mom could babysit for. Its not long, but I already told them I could make it.

So, I am off to find a baby sitter... Heres hoping tonights pick up goes a little smoother.
