I hope you have all had a Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Ours was nice and low key! We went to the library this morning with the kids and then came home and relaxed while I made corned beef and cabbage. I also made my first Irish soda bread. It came out pretty good, but my hubby didn't like it so I probably won't bother making it again.
I didn't workout today - my head and body are just exhausted. I couldn't sleep last night, and then the baby woke up a few times. Of course my son came bounding in to wake us up - before the sun. Tomorrow is my running day and I'm really looking forward to it! Of course, here it is almost midnight and I'm still awake. Why you ask? Well, I'm being crafty!
We are pretty low on the cash flow right now, so I am making some bunny rabbits for my daughter's Easter basket! So far they are pretty cute. Of COURSE I'm out of fiberfill so I'll have to pick some up tomorrow after church. I hope they come out well. I'll have to post a picture of the bunnies when I am finished! We have some great gifts for my son - we had them on layaway for a long time. He is going to get his first baseball glove, bat, and a T-ball stand. He is going to be so excited! Oh - and I FINALLY found the orange sports cones we had gotten him for Christmas. We lost them in the garage! HAHA Now we can finally give them to him! It's going to be fun playing baseball and soccer with him!
I guess there isn't really much to write about today - it really has been laid back. It was kind of a nice treat to just relax for a change - well as much as 2 little kiddos will let you relax! I hope you all had a really nice Saint Patrick's Day!!
Thanks for reading!! -Monica
It just struck midnight and I'm still up too. I saw, from your about you page, that you are from Oregon. Me too.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Katie's. I noticed you'll be doing a 5k in two weeks. I just did one today, my first!!! Good luck!
WOW! What a small world! I saw your blog the other day from Carly's page! What race did you run? How did you do? I'm so excited for my first!
DeleteIt was called iRun for Kids. I did it in 47:06. Walked most of it and jogged a little. Still Obese, 282.6, so I'm not moving too fast but it will be fun to see the time go down as I get healthier and stronger!
DeleteWe are really close in weight! How tall are you? I think you look fantastic in your pictures! What region do you live in? You don't have to tell me the town - I'm not trying to invade your privacy or anything!! I'm in the mid Willamette Valley.... 47.06 is an AWESOME time! I had started out straight jogging and was doing a 5k in about 51 minutes, but I hurt myself because I think I tried to do too much too soon! I gave it a rest for a week and then started up with a couch to 5k program. I have been doing the jogging parts at 4.5 (which feels more like running than jogging!) I'm not sure what kind of time to expect from a straight 5k but anything faster than 51 minutes would be SO exciting! You know - my friend once told men "You might be going slow, but you're lapping everyone on the couch!". Way to go for just doing it!!!
DeleteHaving a laid-back day like that sounds great to me! And I think the Easter gifts for your kids are fantastic--much better than loads of candy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The big bunny is turning out to be really adorable - the little one is a little strange - I may have to fugde it a bit! We learned the hard way not to put too much candy in the baskets - last year my son was on a psychotic sugar rush!!! We agreed on one small chocolate bunny (you know, the 98 cent dealios) and a handfull of jelly beans. Of course, I will still have to get one reese's peanutbutter egg. Katie - I'm as big of a peanutbutter nut as you are! :-P
