Proud of Myself

I'm proud of myself because I worked out today. For a while, when we lived with Mom and Dad my sisters and I worked out together nearly every day. Then we moved and I've really let my exercise slide. I'm still keeping track of calories and still slowly losing weight, but the exercise really makes me feel great. So I did my exercise today. The only problem is that the kids like to be where I am. Zaylee kept trying to spread her toys out all over the living room floor, where I was trying to boogie with my dance aerobics. It was hard not to step on stuff and I had to keep moving things out of the way. Zaylee sure didn't like that. She wanted things to be exactly where she put them! Also, Thomas likes to be, not just where I am, but where my feet are, for some reason. I had to keep moving him out of the way so I wouldn't step or jump on him. Yikes. But after much perserverence and moving stuff, I was able to complete a 40-minute work-out. Yay me!

The treadmill would take him fingers off, so in he stays. I am glad you got a chance to work out. It's amazing how good it makes you feel all day. Way to go!; February 13, 2008 at 7:02 AM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
