Thursday

This week has gone by pretty fast for me. On Tuesday, I took the kids to the park. The weather was so nice, we didn't even need jackets. I actually felt hot the whole time and I had a short sleeved shirt on. Jaidyn had a really good time playing, although when it was time to leave she threw a huge fit. I felt bad because she doesn't get to go to the park that often, so I know she didn't want to leave. Colin also enjoyed being there. He likes just hanging out in his stroller watching all the other kids play. At first I was nervous to take the kids by myself because I am afraid someone might kidnap one of them if I have to look away for just a second. I told Jaidyn before we went to the park that she had to stay close by me so that I could watch her the whole time. She did very good about staying close by. After we left the park, we went to target so I could get a few things. As I was falling asleep on Tuesday night, my stomach started to hurt really bad. I figured if I just went to sleep, hopefully it would go away. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to run to the bathroom. I just knew I was going to throw up. I sat in the bathroom for about 30 minutes feeling like I was dying. Thankfully it all went away. From being up so much in the night, I was too tired to do anything yesterday. So we didn't leave the house. Today the weather is supposed to be nice, so I am going to take the kids to the park after we eat lunch. Hopefully I won't have such a hard time getting Jaidyn to leave this time. I have been proud of myself for using the elliptical as often as I have been. I was worried that I wouldn't make time to do it, but so far I have been using it alot. I am so out of shape it isn't even funny. I am just going to have to work my way up to being able to use it for longer periods at a time. Each night I have been adding 5 more minutes. We don't really have any plans for this weekend. Eric keeps telling me to go to the movies or do something since I never leave the house by myself. For some reason I feel bad doing that though. Although I have to say that having some time to do something without the kids, would be nice. Next weekend for Valentine's Day, Jamie is going to come over and babysit the kids for a little bit while Eric and I go to lunch together. I can't wait. We never go out to eat anymore because it just seems like too big of a pain in the butt with both the kids. Especially because colin is always so whiny. So it will be nice to get out of the house for an hour or so all by ourselves. I just hope Colin isn't too mean to Jamie. He is always mean to her and anyone else that comes to our house. He really doesn't like anyone that isn't his mommy or daddy.
