How much mucus can the human body produce? That may be TMI but SERIOUSLY?!? My head cold started in yesterday and it’s just getting worse and worse. SO not fun especially so when your pregnant. I just feel like my body is falling apart.
BUT I forged on. I don’t do well throwing myself a pity party. Little Man came and woke me up around 7AM and we hit the ground running.
oh! Before I get to our day let me tell you Ryan was punished this weekend. He brought home a not so good report from his teacher on friday so the Husband and I decided on no TV for the weekend. He asked many times to put it on, believe me, but we didn’t cave and I must say–I LOVED the TV-less weekend. I feel like we didn’t waste a minute.
At 7AM we organized the laundry then checked on our apple trees and Sea Monkeys
I love having these little projects with Little Man and one day I hope to be plucking apples from one of those trees. :)
Soon it was smoothie time. I wanted to experiment with a new idea for GreenLiteBites…
Little Man couldn’t resist trying a frozen strawberry even though I warned him. ;)
I liked our creation, Ryan thought it was soso but, Bear was the biggest fan..
We brought our smoothie into the mess we call the Living Room. Last week it was laundry. This week it’s our Christmas mess…
But the mess is worth it when you have this to show for it…
I’m a big fan of involving Little Guy with all the Christmas preparation. He helped me wrap every gift for our family members and had fun placing them under the tree.
Finally Dad decided to grace us with his presence. I’ve learned to just let him sleep in. He’s just NOT a morning person. When he got up I made a big late breakfast. For him the traditional fried eggs, bacon and toast…
For me, a messy western omelet with a side of grilled ham slices…
Little man had some leftover blueberry pancakes. He’s gotten out of the egg habit. I miss our Mommy and me Omelets. :( But enjoying breakfast with my boys is still one of my favorite parts of the day…
After breakfast Little Man and I ventured out to shop for the Husband’s birthday. It’s Tuesday and he’s gonna be the big 3-5. We’ve been having many a "wow we’re getting old" conversations lately. He’s 6 months older then me so now I get to kid him about being an old man. I can’t wait until he’s 40 and I’m 39. ;)
After shopping I decided to take Ryan to a local Indian place for their lunch buffet…
I’ve been craving Indian for months. I had it for the first time a few years ago and simply fell in love. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever eaten before and something I now enjoy every now and then.
I’m on a mission to expose Little Guy to different foods. He’s normally game even though his tastes are pretty simple. He tried everything once but really only stuck with naan bread and some plain rice. The way I see it, it’s all about exposure and experience. Everything is a learning opportunity. We used our trip to the Indian restaurant to explore India on the map. We talked about how he like Chinese and Japanese food and simply had a wonderful time.
Oh! And I got to indulge in something I rarely get to eat. :)
After lunch we hit the grocery store and stocked up on a few things. I came home and took a break before putting the groceries away. By this time the head cold was really throwing me for a loop and all I wanted to do was crawl in warm bath.
After about an hour later I put the groceries away, made Ryan’s lunch for tomorrow, cleaned up the kitchen and just relaxed a bit. Hubby has a Monday deadline, which is why he was working all day but I also had an article for write for a project I hope to tell you about soon. (I got another blog side job!) So the hubz and Little man played while I got some writing done. Before too long it was dinner time. I had the foresight to KNOW I was going to be in no mood to cook. So I had the crockpot working for me all day. :) Dinner took about 10 minutes..
I made The Simplest Slow Cooker Beef Ever and shared the idea on GreenLiteBites since it was such an easy crowd pleasure.
After dinner I took a bath when Little Guy did. I stole his vapor bath
Post bath I read the Little Guy a book before bed and then settled into blogging in front of the TV for the first time all day. I enjoyed the finale of Survivor even though I didn’t watch it all season. Somehow it sucked me in.
Right now I’m watching poker on ESPN with a tissue hanging out out of my nose and a cup of hot green tea by my side which is my attempt at trying to sooth the soar throat. Ugh. I HATE being sick but I still took control of my day. Nothing makes me feels better then being productive. :)
