First off, a non scale victory. I've slowly been getting myself to bed earlier and earlier. I know, it's only taken me about 6 months to start this part of my healthy resolutions FOR REAL. And this morning I woke up at 6am to go the gym. Worked out from 630-730am then rushed home because I thought Cristian had to be at work at 8am. Turns out he got to sleep in an extra hour and didn't need the car till' 9am...which means I could have slept for about another hour also. Oh well though. I went, did some interval treadmill workouts, watched Law&Order and actually enjoyed it.
Cristian also actually committed to working out tonight, and he did a nice little circuit of bodyweight exercises. I'm really proud of him.
I also managed not to give in and nap this afternoon, because it would have made it harder to go to bed tonight. So, hopefully I can get up at the same time tomorrow and do it all over again.
Had a rough experience the other night with Violet. She kept waking up with shrieks of terror and when we'd go into her room to see what the problem was she would say she "saw something". The first time we didn't really take it seriously, she's been having nightmares lately about ants and such and we thought maybe she'd had a little dream. We put her back into bed. About a half hour later the same thing happened. Shrieking, terror, lots of tears because she "saw something". I had a feeling to move her crib out from the wall but I was tired and grumpy and just wanted this girl to go to bed so that I COULD GO TO BED AS WELL. Calmed her down, put her back in bed, went back to bed myself. About another half hour goes by-same thing. This time I turned the light on and pulled her crib away from the wall and guess what I found... A GIGANTIC HAIRY SPIDER. Violet flipped her lid and I had to call Cristian from our room to come get rid of it while I calmed down my girl.
Ugh. I felt terrible.
I mean I really felt like a terrible person.
I should have listened to that prompting but I didn't and now she's afraid of tiny little fruit flies.
My fault, these are the consequences.
I'll work with it but man......I do feel horrible about not taking her seriously.
I was sitting out at my parents house with my older sister Jasmin. We were watching the rain and a hummingbird came by the feeder to grab a drink. Jasmin recalled a memory I kind of forgot about. When we lived in our old house we had feeders everywhere. One day my dad put on bright red lipstick and held sugar water in his mouth to try and get a hummingbird to drink out of it. It actually worked! Too bad we didn't get any pictures and we probably couldn't convince him to do it again.
My dad is really cool.
Cristian and I started listening to the podcast "Serial" together. We've only finished the first episode but there are 11 more and we are hooked already, so that's new.
Does this count as an update?
