Long weekend is over now :-(

My chiropractor recommends probiotics to build you immunity. Since I've been so sick this year, all the antibiotics has worn my system down, so I am going to give this a try along with a multivitamin. He says drink more water too, he recommends 1/2 of your weight in ounces, that sounds like a rediculous amount, I'll be happy if I could drink 30-40 oz in one day, that would be plenty, hahaha... I know where my new hang out is going to be! I'm going to try to only drink water all day, no more pop, it rots your system!!!! Not to mention its a bunch of empty calories. And maybe I'll get on that damn treadmill, I wish I could stick with it, I only get in a routine for a few days and then stop.

Visited with Barb today, Jeff put in her bathroom faucet, she bought a new one. The kids were pretty good, Jon was well beyond nappy time, but eventually he did take a cat nap, and now they are both in bed, and will be asleep shortly I am sure.

Oh well, back to my stumbleupon.com, I love it. I also love playing that traveler IQ challenge. I didn't realize how stupid I was when it came to world geography, but from playing it for the past few days, I'm getting better!

Brrr, sure is cold out there!

Finished the "It's all too much" book last night, it was very good and very inspiring. I spent the entire morning cleaning and organizing the basement, so I feel accomplished today. The inlaws made a quick visit, they wanted their saw back. The evening kind of flew by. My nice clean basement got destroyed by a two year old... very quickly. That's ok, it wasn't too hard to clean up real fast before we put her to bed. I guess if you keep up with it, it's not so bad.

I don't think Jess took a nap today, I put her in her crib and then went about my business in the basement, she was loud for quite a long time upstairs. My snoring kid, who fell asleep very fast tonight, now confirms I don't think she even shut her eyes today, she just played in her crib for an hour or so. But at least she "rested". And Jon woke up at 5pm, so he barely made it until 8pm. Ahh, it's so nice to have kids that love their bedtime!!!!

Zzzzz

I'm tired. Going to bed too late, having a hard time falling asleep, mixed with my little alarm clock getting up so early does not make for a good combination. Cleaned this morning, had a visit from my MIL, & cut the grass (when is this damn tree going to quit spitting out leaves). That's all for now, my brain is crashing....Zzzzz

Jon's Doctor's appointment and visiting and love letters, OH MY!

Another day on blogspot, am 100% converted, not yet!

Today was Jon's 4 month appointment. He now weighs 15 pds 8 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches tall. 75% and 95% percentile. Jess got her flu shot, and Jon got 4 shots, ouch!!!! So they are all set for two more months. And low and behold my big boy rolled over today for the first time. When will it happen again, who knows, he did it twice. Both times from back to tummy, just like I thought he would, just sooner than I thought. I was of course too busy on the computer and missed it, but Jeff got to see it. I grabbed the camera at the tail end. OH well. Yeah Jonathan!

I visited with Ann & Logan today. He sure is growing up fast, I haven't seen them in a few months. He uses full sentences now, it's so cute! The kids play so well together, I wish we would get together more often. We've been trying for 3 weeks now, but Logan's been sick, poor little guy.

On Oprah today it was all about "The Greatest Love Story's We've Ever Told." It was pretty interesting. This is a synopsis from the website about one couple I thought was neat:

For 28 years, Patricia and Alton have given each other a romantic gift every night…a love letter! Open lines of communication in your marriage by journaling with your spouse. Start with these three steps.

1. Write about your day or where you are right now. (i.e. "Today was exhausting between all my meetings. I couldn't wait to get home to rest my feet.")
2. Focus on your spouse, starting with "I love you because…" (i.e. "I love you because…you wake up early every day to make me coffee before I get out of bed.")
3. Ask a question of your spouse. Take turns each day for who comes up with the question. It can be as simple as, "What's your favorite dessert?" to more probing like, "Tell me something about yourself that would surprise me." This should be used as the area that can get you talking to your spouse.

Take time after you've each finished your three-part journal entry to read your partner's thoughts and discuss. Remember to do this every night!

I think it is a pretty neat idea. I'd probably type it up or something, who needs millions of sheets of paper. Of course Jeff thinks it's stupid, he doesn't like to write, so of course that would be his reaction. It's not like we have a communication problem, we talk too much as it is. But I think a question/answer thing might be interesting, and be interesting to look back on.

Well, I have tons to do on the computer, like go through my pics and upload them.
