good stuff.
-Last Saturday we went to my parents so I could print some stuff and I ended up going Christmas shopping with my mom and Heather. The kids and Spencer stayed and hung out with my dad. We got the kids their Christmas outfits and some clothes and I got a couple things from Victorias Secret.
-On Monday we went to pick up my wedding dress!! I love it, but I still need to get the train removed and a couple inches taken off because its too long.
-Tuesday morning we dropped Spencer off at work and went to my parents for St. Nick. I had told Alikah the night before what we were doing so when we got to my parents house she walked in and was like "IS NICK HERE? WHERES NICK!!?" haha. We got candy (grrr), they got a couple small toys, and I got some eyeliner and a water bottle. I picked up Spencer at 3 and then we wrapped some presents for my mom. We ate dinner there then came home.
-My knees, especially my right one, were completely gone from running so much. Last Friday was the last time I went and I had to stop early because they hurt so bad. I iced them a bunch and have taken a break since then...Im going to the gym tonight but I think Im just going to bike instead of run.
Today we find out if we get to move into my Grandma's house. It will be so, so great if we do. After talking with my mom on Saturday, I think we will. Im trying not to get too excited until we know for sure, though. Ah!

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.

Weekend.
Saturday Alikah got picked up at 9:30 and I went back to sleep from 10 to almost 2!! I had super weird dreams so it wasnt the most energizing sleep but it was still great.
Spencer was gone with Harper so I went to the gym to run for an hour.
My dumbass accidently pushed the emergency stop lever while changing the TV station so I dont have exact numbers for the day...but I was waiting for the 25 minute mark to start a sprint so I think I was around 23 minutes when I pushed it.
I restarted it for 45 more minutes and at the end I came up with 4.98 miles, so Im giving myself the benefit of the doubt and saying 5 miles :) And around 465 calories.
I had to stop and stretch? (bend? you cant stretch your knees right?) my knees twice during this hour which was frustrating so I took a bath when I got home hoping it would help. I put too many bubbles in.
Yesterday Spencer had Harper laughing. He was changing his diaper and I was in he kitchen and he was like "Hurry come here come here!!" and OH MY GOD it was the cutest freaking thing ever!! Ahhh.
Today Spencer and Harper were gone all morning again so I had lots of alone time this weekend! They got home around 4 and then we got ready and went to the park to take some pictures. We wanted some new pictures of us and some of us with Harper but he was but passed out in his stroller like 2 minutes in and we were not about to wake him up so we'll do those pictures a different day. To be honest we took about 80 pictures and I like....5. I hate how I look right now. But Ill post the ones I do like in an entry tomorrow hopefully.
Alikah came home at 7:30 and she was TIRED (no nap). But she insisted on watching "one more movie" until 9:30 which is her usual bedtime. Spencer came with us for reading time tonight and she had us both in tears from laughing so hard. Right when he laid down she looked at me and was like, "Dadas sleeping in my bed. WHAT are you DOING Dada?" and then on a book page that had a picture of money she goes, "Remember...I watch Spongebob on TV and Mr.Krabs likes MONEY!!!" Im sooo happy shes home.
Every night I say, "Goodnight, I love you, you mean everything to me." Usually she doesnt want me to leave but says, "Night, love you, I mean everything to you."
Today after she said that she goes....."Now leave me alone," and rolled over!! I went in an hour later and she hadnt moved an inch haha, she passed out immediately. I have a feeling shell be sleeping in tomorrow. Too bad Harper wont! :)

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!

Quick diet & weekend update!
First of all: Harper only woke up once last night! It was awesome. And I didnt have to hold him but he did sleep right next to me. Spencer's alarm went off at 4am and after that I kept waking up randomly and just staring at him waiting for him to wake up again but he didnt until like 7:30 and then he was up for the day.
He fell back asleep like an hour later and I got a shower in before Alikah woke up.
Lisa was coming to pick her up at noon so we played in her room for the most of the morning because I wanted to spend some extra time with her.
After she got picked up Harper and I did this for the rest of the day:
:) (Laid on the couch while I caught up on Intervention)
Diet update since its Friday...I've been eating pretty good but I havent lost any weight. BUT I ran today! Ive been saying I was going to for awhile but today was the first time I actually did.
And it felt pretty damn good. The neighborhood next to us a big circle so I went around that. I switched between running and walking but I ran a little over half of it. Im making it a new goal to get to the point where I can run the whole way. I took an inhaler before I left but my asthma was definitely the worst part about it still.
Right now Harper's been awake since like 6:30/7 - so 4 hours - but we are kind of hoping to get him on a schedule like this so he sleeps better at night.
Alikah's coming home tomorrow morning...we were going to look at another reception site tomorrow but my Mom finally gave me her budget for us on Wednesday and were pretty sure were going to go with Muskego Lakes. So now tomorrow is just running errands and relaxing.
Then Sunday were going to State Fair! I think were going to keep it a surprise for Alikah because she LOVES fairs so much. Im pretty excited!
