Mostly non-baby related stuff

Just checking in real quick before I put my laptop up for the night. I haven’t taken very many pictures this week. I think because it has been a really rough week for us. With Zoey getting her shots on Wednesday and then getting her tongue clipped on Thursday, it has been a very fussy end to the week! Tonight she has been pretty fussy too but I think it’s related to her just being hungry and tired. She is laying in the bouncy seat right now, trying to fight off the sleep. I can see the exhaustion in her eyes. Poor girl.

Tonight we had pizza for dinner. My plan is to write up a menu for next week and get a shopping list together and get what I need so I can be better organized. No more eating out for us! I read an article in a magazine about how if you get up early every morning and exercise, you are more likely to lose weight and keep it off. I’m trying to convince myself to do this but I just don’t know if I can. For one, I am a huge wuss and too scared to go walking the neighborhood by myself before the sun comes up. For two, I don’t think I can convince myself to get up at 5 AM! I am just not a morning person. Actually, I don’t even consider 5 AM morning. I don’t know what it is but I think it’s entirely too early to be considered morning.

I had my shower this morning and we gave Zoey a bath this evening and now Gene is in the shower. We’re going to have one good smellin’ family here in the next few minutes. You’d think with Gene’s help I could go to bed freshly showered every night but it just doesn’t always work out that way. I try to get a lot done when he gets home in the evenings like dishes, washing bottles, laundry, etc. and I just can’t seem to find the time before midnight to take a shower! Ugh. I’ll get a routine down.. someday :P

Tonight I decided to break out my sewing machine and get back into sewing. I miss it. I sewed up 4 cloth wipes. I’m washing them now to see how they turned out. I’m hoping to keep practicing and maybe eventually put some stuff up for sale on Etsy. It’s been a huge dream of mine for a long time now, I just haven’t ever had time to really focus on it. I am going to spend the next week trying to clean up my sewing area and get things in order. I’d even love to order my own labels some day.

Win a Quilt!

I don’t know about you all but I absolutely LOVE quilts. I’ve just started my first one and am only about 1/3 of the way done with it and I really have developed a new appreciation for how much hard work goes into making them. Mine is nowhere near as awesome as a lot of the ones I see online but I’m hoping to perfect my quilting abilities!

If you go here, you can comment on her post and try to win her quilt. I also added an image and link to the sidebar of my blog, as well. Go join the fun!

I mean, who doesn’t LOVE A giveaway?
