The Rays of Sunshine

Week 5: Week 5 was week 4 and it was rough. I didn't have a successful week. I was busy and was struggling with the whole workout thing. I was only able to "run" twice this week. Thursday night, which is an off night to run anyways, I just wasn't into it, and I didn't even make it a mile. One of the reasons was, my body gave out on me. I didn't feel good, sick to my stomach, so i had to cut it short. Friday, woke up and felt like I ran face first in to a brick wall, HARD. That made me a little gun shy, so I took a long break. Week 6: SLOW GO!! I dont know what is up with me! I have lost my "mo-jo". Why can't I get out the door? Where did my excitement go?  I don't know what has happened. I guess Life has gotten in the way! I was only able to go twice this week, and I did pretty good, and I felt good about it. Week 7 and 8: Running has taken a back seat to my life! I haven't been going! I still want to do it, and I know that I am not...

Cause Babies Don’t Keep Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, Hang out the washing and butter the bread, Sew on a button and make up a bed. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking. Oh, I’ve grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue (lullaby, rock-a-bye, Lullaby loo). Dishes are waiting and bills are past due (pat-a-cake, darling, and peek-peek-a-boo). The shopping is not done and there’s nothing for stew And out in the yard there is a hullabaloo. But I’m playing “Kanga” and this is my “Roo.” Look! Aren’t his eyes the most wonderful hue? (lullaby, rock-a-bye, lullaby loo). The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, For children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

 WOW 11 Months old, already!!! There no denying this kid, He looks just like me, only he's much cuter. Derek received his first haircut this month. He also pulled up for the first time all by himself. He also likes to blow bubbles in his mouth. not big bubbles, just a small one, the size of his mouth. Its super cute. Since summer time is here, we took Derek swimming for the first time in the big swimming pool and he liked it! He has also learned how to sit, from his stomach and  basically pull up on anything. He is like our own Sampson, only with the reverse effect. We gave Derek a haircut, and he gained strength as Sampson from the Bible, lost all his strength. Apparently once he has all the weight off his head, he gained the confidence to accomplish a whole lot! We have officially ditched the afternoon nap. He will not go down for it and he will cry the whole time he should be sleeping, and I was happy to see it go! Once ag...
