Life is Good

Well, my husband is just awesome, trying to make me feel better.  He is cute.  He put together a list of things that I can do to get points (I know, very elementary school, but it somehow cheered me up).  Once I get 25 points, he'll get me a price (a book or pj bottoms).  Anyhow, this morning I did 50 crunchies... earning me 1 point.  And it didn't hurt my leg. 

Is it bad that I need a rewards system? 

50 crunchies and 100 criss cross crunchy thingies (50 each direction).

2 points! :o) I have 22 more points to go. 

*** Added yoga (moves that didn't hurt while I held them) ***

Abs. 

Had to explain to my husband that the "plank" is truly the name of a yoga position, and it really *does* work your tummy.  I got him to try it, but it looked more like down-ward facing dog on crack then the plank.  I still love him...

Okay... I am the world's worst mother!!! Melanie was moaning in her sleep, but I decided not to go in there because I thought if I went in there, it would wake her up, and then she would be up for hours before going back to sleep. So I didn't. This morning, I go to get her, and there was something on her cheek. I realized it was dried snot. I scrubbed it off and then noticed dried up snot on her ear. Thinking that she must of wiped her nose to her ear, I went to wipe it off and got a bunch of wet snot stuff on my hand. I then took her into the light and noticed her ear was oozing the green stuff. I have never seen anything like that before. I feel awful. So, needless to say, we are taking her to the doctor as soon as they open.

Poor Melanie is stuck with me as a Mommy... 

*** Sick Baby Update ***

We took Ms. Melanie to the doctor, and he gave us 2 antibiodics (one topical, and one oral).  When we gave them to her last night, she was OUT!  She is still pretty misearable, but there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel!  Oh, and the doctor also confirmed my theory that she is teething.  Until now, Melanie has only had two bottom teeth.  Now she is getting her two top teeth.  It may be the end of nursing. LOL

Yoga and abs

Spent the day cuddling with my sick little girl. 

Happy Anniversary to Brandon and I :o)  I'll be back later to report

*** Added  ***  First, I have to add that I did my abs and yoga today. :o)  Brandon was "sleeping" on the couch while I was doing the yoga... but what I really think was happening is that we was pretending to sleep and sneaking peaks.  I swear I heard him chuckle once.  Good thing I love him.

Brandon and I have been married for 5 years.  He got me two books for our anniversary: Hello, Cupcake, and Fudge Cupcake Murder.  I got him some new bike gloves, a funny bike horn (which will probably go in Melanie's buggy so she can tell him to speed up, a reflector for his bike, and a light).  He really enjoys riding his bike and pulling Melanie in her buggy, so I thought he would like those things.  Tonight we are going to dinner, which I'm excited about.  I'm going to wear a dress that I wore to the lunch the day we were married.  I really haven't worn it much since then, so I'm hoping that it will suprise him.
