Sleeping Baby and Priorities

It's been a long process and a lot of headaches and stress, but Elie is finally starting to sleep. She got to the point where she wasn't sleeping at all during the day. Which of course led to a grouchy baby and a grounchy mama. Yesterday she took a two hour nap in the afternoon and slept all night. Today so far she took a short morning nap for half an hour and we'll give it another try for a longer one this afternoon. So now exercising is going to be my priority when she takes her nap. I have a goal of 4 days a week. I have a ticker at the bottom of our blog to make me accountable. I removed that ticker, too time consuming to keep up on.

Suggestions Anyone???

I need any suggestions that anyone has to help me lose some weight. I weigh the same thing now that I did one year ago when I had a new baby. I don't feel like myself. Everything I put on seems too tight. But I can't get motivated to work harder at getting this baby weight off. I'll get so sick of it and do really well for a day or two then go back to what is simple, fast and easy. I need something simple, fast and easy that helps me be healthier!

Wow, I'm Popular

I'm so popular that only two people even want my gift, that's sad. Tom has been gone this week and three of our kids have been sick. I just really hope that Elie and I don't get anything, but the way Elie was acting today I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't feel very good either. I really don't like it when Tom is gone I'm so glad he's coming home.

Pay It Forward

I usually don't do this kind of thing, but I really loved the idea. (Thanks Holly!)
Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay it forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts will be made and posted out 'sometime within the next year'. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me! Will you? Other comments are welcome, but only the first three will be my Pay It Forward recipients. Come and join me who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???
