Baby Food.

The past week:
Obviously Monday was fucking bullshit. Work wise, for now, Spencer is working at the hospital valeting every Tuesday and Thursday. And today he is working an event until around 1 AM.

Tuesday (the 8th) Harper had baby food - sweet potatoes - for the first time and he absolutely loved it. He chowed the whole jar and was sad when it was gone. I cant feel it to him fast enough either, I have to prop him up on my knees and hold down his arms because otherwise he tries to grab the spoon or jar constantly haha.
Hes eaten a jar once a day since for either lunch or dinner.
He also had bananas and ate all of those too!
I have a feeling he wont be to picky :)

I didnt write it down but I THINK Alikah started going pee on her potty on the 8th or 9th. The one bad thing about this is that Alikah is a scratcher - meaning she scratches the hell out of her back. Usually to solve this problem she wears a onesie everyday, but right now shes just wearing normal shirts with no pants so its easiest for her to go. Sooo her back is all scratched up again. But it'll pass.

We went to my parents and got our DJ booked for the wedding. I also have the invitations all ready to be ordered now so next time we go over we'll do that :)

Today
Last week my gym sent me an email saying we owed them money even though they were supposed to be automatically taking it out of Spencer's account. They turned my key off so I couldnt get in. Thursday Spencer went and got it turned back on and actually talked to the owner and got all the late fees dropped so he ended up not having to pay as much. Anyway- Today I at 12:30 for an hour (Ran 5.36 miles, burned 538 calories) I am happy to be back.

Hummmm

Gym:
Monday 10/17 - Ran 4.67 miles, burned 455 calories.
Wednesday 10/19 - Ran 6.48 miles, burned 621 calories.
Thursday 10/20 - Ran 5.36 miles, burned 508 calories.

I switched shoes now because my EasyTones were too small and hurting my feet and ankles. Ive only used them one day so far but hopefully it will help. Kitty
We got a kitty on last Thursday. A boy named Stabler. Ive always said no to getting one. I dont know why or how my mind changed. I guess I just dont really care anymore haha. My allergies havent been too bad, and I dont think Alikah is allergic like we did before. Alikah loves him but she is a little too much for him sometimes. Wedding
It was Jared & Holly's wedding weekend so we were pretty busy with that. Alikah was the flower girl and she did great. I cried of course. Im hoping Holly posts pictures online or something and then I can grab a few and do another entry about it. The night ended...pretty crazily. I have no idea where my bag is so my camera and wallet are missing. Our house keys are missing. We took a cab home and the property manager didnt answer his door so Spencer ended up breaking our door in. They came and hammered it back together this morning and put a guard and new handle on it for now until they can order a new door. Honesty I wouldnt mind keeping the door how it is now because we dont want to pay $1,000 for a new door.
Anyway...I had to have left my bag on the trolley or at the reception site. Spencer has called both places 3 times with no answer so now he left messages and I guess we just wait. Spencer's mom said someone put all the lost stuff in a box at the end of the reception so they might have it too but we have no idea who has the box and his mom hasnt answered either. Fun stuff!!!
But besides all that crazy shit the wedding was beautiful, Holly looked amazing, and Im so happy for both of them.

Alikahs being a huge brat lately so we started time-outs. She already had 3 today. She is seriously being such a little jerk ugh. Yelling, acting like shes gonna hit me, telling me that Im "so mean." I can tell her "Just leave him (Stabler) alone right now," and she will yell, throw herself on the floor or couch and punch it. Its just absolutely ridiculous and Im hoping it passes soon because I am sick of it.

Were all stressed out. We need a new car, our lease is up in 2 months, our wedding, all this other crap. Always something. But it will pass.

Harper's 4 month appointment is on Wednesday so ill do his monthly update after that.

Yep. This is boring because I dont really feel like updating but I was behind.
All I really want right now is to know that someone has my friken bag. I will feel much better then.

Friday Update.

Gym:
Monday October 3rd - Ran 5.28 miles, burned 507 calories.
Tuesday October 4th - Ran 5.63 miles, burned 610 calories.
Wednesday October 5th - My grandma died.
Tuesday October 11th - Ran 4.13 miles, burned 412 calories.
Wednesday October 12th - Ran 4.87 miles, burned 514 calories.
Friday October 14th - Ran 5.07 miles, burned 505 calories.
Im not keeping off any weight. Maybe Ill take measurements tomorrow.

I dont have much more to update on. We went to the library yesterday for new books and I got the first year of SVU on DVD, thats about as exciting as it gets.

I did get a video of Harper laughing this morning though, and I cant stop smiling every single time I watch it. I love when hes happy. It makes me excited to see him grow and watch his personality come out. Spencer and I have been having communication issues. At least I think thats what you would call it. Its mostly me, I have a habit of taking every thing the wrong way. I have this really cool talent of taking anything someone says to me and twisting it into something against me.

So, anyway. I told him that I wouldnt be on the computer after the kids went to bed anymore so we could spend that time together. (Unless he goes to sleep at the same time they do.) He suggested putting Harper in day-care a few days a week since the kid drives me freakin nuts sometimes but I suggested using the money we'd spend on that for us to go out alone every 2 weeks or so. I feel really disconnected lately. I feel alone with myself but I know that its my doing and he would listen if I ever wanted to talk. Blah. I could say more but honestly I dont even feel like it.

"Sweetest Day" is tomorrow and were going out for dinner. Alikah's going by nonna. I was under the impression that Spencer's mom was watching Harper but I guess shes not. If I would have known that I wouldnt have let them have Alikah, but too late. We're just going to go with him to our favorite little chinese restaurant I think.

Friday Update

I didnt go on Monday and I didnt write down the mphs.

Tuesday 9/27 - Ran 3.07 miles, burned 313 calories.

Wednesday 9/28 - Ran 3.07 miles, burned 318 calories.

Thursday 9/29 - Went grocery shopping & ordered the chinese we had wanted all week. Picked up another 300 pictures from Walgreens too. No gym.

Friday 9/30 - Ran 4.8 miles, burned 475 calories. It was great! I was the only one there and I stayed for an hour. I jogged at 4.5 for most of the time but I did two 5 minutes sprints and two 10 minute runs.
I put the TV on instead of my iPod and watched Up All Night and Whitney. I started watching Dateline and thought about staying longer but I knew Spencer would get worried. Aaand I was right haha, I came home and sat down, turned on Dateline, and Spencer and the kids walked in 3 minutes later and he said when they got home (from his parents) and I wasnt home he just pulled right back out and drove to the gym. Love him.

Anyways...heres some random shit.

Up All Night and Whitney are both hilarious. I was laughing out loud while I was running.

Harper was up almost all day. I am praying he sleeps good tonight. Ah.

Spencer and Harper are leaving tomorrow morning at 6:30AM. Harpers going to his moms and Spencers going to help his dad take trees or something to the dump.
Then Alikah's getting picked up at 9:30 to go to Nonna's....
So Ill have most of the day to myself! Planning on scrap booking, going to the gym and taking a long bath. Ahhh yes.

Gym/Weight Update & Weekend

Thursday 9/15 - Ran 2.25 miles at 4.5-4.9 mph. Burned 223 calories.

Friday 9/16 - No one was there. I road the bike for 20 minutes and watched Dateline. I didnt write anything down. I like burning calories, so Im sticking to running.

Saturday 9/17 and Sunday 9/18 I didnt go.

Monday 9/19 - Ran 2.97 miles at 5.8 mph. Burned 308 calories.

Tuesday 9/20 - Ran 2.8 miles at 5.5 and 6 mph but took 3 or 4 walking breaks. I stomach felt really weird, I think I drank too much water without really eating anything. Burned 270 calories.

Wednesday 9/21 - Didnt go. We had to go to Men's Warehouse to get Spencer fitted for a tux for Jared's wedding. OH and not gym related at all but it was the SVU season premiere WITH OUT Elliot :( So depressing.

Thursday 9/22 - SOMEONE WAS ON MY TREADMILL. I drove right past the gym haha. (OCD is a bitch.) So I ran around the neighborhood we live next to. BUT remember when I said "Im making it a new goal to get to the point where I can run the whole way"? I ran the whole way! I was pretty proud, I kept wanting to stop but its almost like my body wouldnt let me.

Friday 9/23 - Ran 3.05 miles! Best yet so that makes me happy. I did 5.8 mph for a mile and a half, then a 2 minute break at 3.4 mph, then the rest at 6 mph. Burned 320 calories.

Anyways, when I first wrote August 5th I weighed 126. I ended up gaining weight after that and right now Im at 134/135. It pisses me off but also keeps me motivated so whatever.

Tomorrow were going to Spencer's work friend Chris's wedding. We're bringing Alikah because she lovvveeess weddings but Heather is going to watch Harper.

And then on Sunday its my mom's birthday so when we go to pick up Harper well be staying for her birthday lunch.

Should be a fun weekend!He always tries to hold his own bottle. Such a big buddy.
