Easter and other things

Liam had an awesome Easter!

               He absolutely hated the grass in the basket. Because it stuck to him haha.

I also completely forgot to weigh myself yesterday.....again. So maybe I should just do Wednesday weigh ins. Ha. Michelle and I decided to start the 30 day shred today. No exceptions..no excuses. I'm dreading it haha.

I decided that Tuesdays are going to be my major cleaning days. Unless something comes up, like a meetup or something. And tomorrow, I am taking Liam to a story time and then to the zoo and I am so excited about it. He hasn't been to the zoo since he was under 1, so he will be super excited to see all the animals. :)

And I am thinking about takinghim to Lake Winnie on May 3rd so he can ride all the kiddie rides. I have lots of fun things in store for this year!

Easter Party!

Liam had so much fun at his very 1st Easter party today. It was so cute. :)

He found so many eggs by himself and some eggs he found, he put them in his friend Scarlet's basket. That's right. I'm raising a gentleman. :)

I can not wait for him to see his Easter basket tomorrow morning. He is going to be so excited! :)

Happy 2nd Easter to my sweet baby boy! Mommy loves you! <3

Busy weekend!

Ok, I have been super slacking on the walking/jogging but in my defense it has been raining...a lot. Proof?

That is all hail. Crazy stuff!

This weekend is gonna be lots of fun! First off, I have to mention Liam's experience with the Easter bunny today. I WISH we had gotten some video or pictures of it because it was hilarious. Well, not for him haha. We went to the mall today to have Liam's picture with the Easter bunny and stood in line for about half an hour. The closer we get to the front, the more terrified Liam became. We thought he would just cry and hey, that would be a cute picture haha. Well, he starts freaking out as I am walking up to the bunny. I slowly place him in the bunny's lap and he clung to me with a death grip. He screamed so loud and thrashed and fought. I never saw the poor baby so terrified before. So, the whole time, I can't help but laugh and I'm pretty sure he is traumatized. Haha.

Today, I have been shopping for things for Liam's Easter basket and sheesh, I feel like I'm shopping for Christmas. This child is so spoiled haha. I ended up making Liam's basket, well not the basket itself but the liner. It's Toy Story, of course. :)

I think it turned out pretty well for me winging it. :)

Tomorrow, we are going to Liam's very 1st Easter party, with the mom group. There will be an Easter egg hunt and everything. I am so excited! :) Get ready for tons of pictures soon!

Sunday, we are going to visit my grandmother in the nursing home for her birthday. And then Monday, I am a wee bit sad. I priced the hairstyle that I want and it's over $100. No way can I afford that. But I am still going to the Hunger Games..Eeeeeeeeeee!!! I am going to look around tomorrow and see if I can find a cheaper hairstylist that I can still go to on Monday. Fingers crossed!

Monday weigh in and weird dreams

I always weigh myself on Monday mornings. I have done it since November and have never forgotten. It's like my body just reminds me, "Hey! Weigh yourself!" Well, it must have slept through it's alarm yesterday because I completely forgot. So I decided to weigh myself today. I don't like to weigh myself on Tuesdays because it never seems accurate. It's always like 2 or 3 pounds different than Mondays, so I don't take it seriously. So that being said, my weight was at 190 this morning. Ugh. I hate to see numbers higher than 188. I know it probably isn't 190 but still. I have been stuck on this plateau forever. I'm ready to lose more than 10 pounds.

So I have kicked it up a notch. Last night, I was super craving my pb and choco oatmeal. I had just enough chocolate chips to get me one more serving of it. But....I didn't cave! I did however eat a single Reese cup to curve my sweet tooth but at least, it only had like 80 calories in it. Ha. Today I have been eating really well. And I have been walking the past couple days and am going again tonight with Michelle. I also finally bought Jillian's 30 day shred and I can't wait to start! I will dedicate a whole post to it with (fingers crossed) results and everything! But don't expect it for about a month haha.

Ok, on to my crazy dream! I noticed my dream had a lot to do with a lot of the stuff Michelle and I talked about on our walk last night. So here it is:

I was at Walmart with my sister and suddenly looked down and just then noticed I was pregnant. Haha. So I post, right there in Walmart, on my Facebook, "Liam's gonna be a big brother!" Haha. I was 4 1/2 months along and was feeling a lot of movement. So the next day I go to school. (I'm still in high school in my dream but in reality I graduated like 5 years ago haha.) I notice that I'm wearing this awful shirt so I decide to skip 1st block to go home and change. Then I just decided to skip the whole day so I could go to the doctor and get the pregnancy confirmed. Some how Liam ends up with me. (I don't even know where he was before this haha.) So I'm driving to the doctor and I'm in the waiting room and finally get called back. As I'm walking into the room, my mom comes up behind me and asks me what I'm doing here and I tell her I think I'm pregnant and she just looks at me in shock. I make her feel my stomach and she won't haha. The doctor comes in and tells me she needs to cut a little of my hair to make sure I'm pregnant. (Random much?! Haha) Then I'm asking the doctor how I got pregnant because I hadn't done anything since I got pregnant with Liam and this is what he tells me. Apparently sperm can stay active in your body for years but will never come in contact with an egg. But sometimes on rare occasions they can escape and that's how I got pregnant. (Weird right?!) Then I wake up. Haha.

Don't tell me I'm weird because I already know that haha. I have really crazy dreams all the time. But after waking up, it made me really wanna be pregnant. I miss my baby being a baby and I can't wait to have more children.

                                                                      Cute huh? :)

So I always tell myself I'm working out for my future husband and future children. And Liam of course. I will be a MILF! ;)

I have an addiction......

....to oatmeal! And it's bad, like really bad. Why, you may ask? Isn't oatmeal good for you? Of course it is! But not the way I eat it!

Lately, I have been buying the chocolate chip oatmeal packets and then adding like 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a small handful of more chocolate chips! Totally defeating the purpose of the oatmeal. Let me tell you how I've always HATED oatmeal. This is the only way I'll eat it. I really need to cut it out of my diet because it probably has like 2000 calories (not really haha).

I am really slacking on my weight loss lately. So I decided to make a list to myself of things I am going to do or change to help me back on the weight loss wagon.

1. Cut out my addiction to pb and chocolate oatmeal. Just cold turkey it. Do whatever it takes to rid it from this house!

2. Walk at least 5 days a week. Jog if you can. But don't stop! Never stop!

3. Watch what I eat! Never over eat! Don't snack at all. That's when bad things happen.

4. Do some arm workouts. They are fat, Kayleigh. Remember the video from Christmas? Do you want to wear tank tops again and not be self conscious? Well, get your ass, I mean your arms to do some workouts!

You have 5 months Kayleigh! 5 months to lose 25 pounds! Remember when you told someone you know at Dragon*Con you would be skinnier by then? Keep true to your word. Don't fail. You can do it! I have faith in you!

Now go do the dishes before your mom gets on to you again! :)

2 posts in 1 day?!!? Whaaaaa?

So, I was super bored and re-reading my blog and came across the post where I talked about Liam's birthday party ideas and guess what?! I changed my mind haha. As much as I love the Elmo theme, Liam has a new favorite movie, that is an all time classic, that even I have loved since I was little. I am way excited about this new theme and all the amazing possibilities to do with it.

The theme is going to be.............Toy Story! 

I am so excited about it! Here a a few ideas that I've pinned. I created a whole new pinboard just for these pins haha.

Cute eh? I really love the cake but I don't think I'll be able to pull that off with my budget. But here's to trying! :)

I ended up walking by myself tonight..well, with Liam of course. I was supposed to meet up with a friend but I couldn't get a hold of her (she lost her phone). I waited for about 10 minutes to see if she would come. She called me after she found her phone and super apologized haha. Totally understandable. So it was just Liam and I. Have you ever gotten the feeling that you're being followed? I think I get that feeling every time I walk by myself haha. I'm so paranoid...just ask my friends. ;) Seriously, if you walk behind me, I am constantly looking all around me. I'm sure people are always like, "Why does that girl keep looking at me?" Haha. Gotta make sure there are no creepers or stalkers around. :)

Oh, I forgot to mention I got invited to join a team for the Relay for Life! AWESOME! One of my mom's dear friends recently found out she had cancer before Christmas and my mom is so torn. They are really close friends and I couldn't stand it if anything happened to her. Prayers for her!! Anyways, she's been doing really well and has gone back to work. She is also a teacher at the school my mom teaches at. She and some other teacher friends (who were my teachers in high school) started a team and invited me to join. My mom was originally going to do it, but she will be out of town. I am so excited to join this great cause! Did I ever mention I love to walk in walkathons? I do haha. I have done the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

And the St. Jude walk. Also, I donate blood at Dragon*Con. :) So ya, I love helping out and doing what I can. :) Which is what I want to do for a career. Something nonprofit organization wise. That's what I'll be going back to school for. :)

Mommy's Day Out....in a week and a half

Haha, so I decided that I need a mom's day out...bad. I texted my friend Michelle and asked her if she could babysit Liam for about 3-5 hours the week after next so I could have a few hours to myself. I am going to get my hair done and then go see The Hunger Games again. Eeeeee!

As I mentioned in my last post, my hair is getting super long and hard to manage, so I finally decided to go with the ombre hairstyle. Here are a few examples I plan on taking to the salon with me.

I really like the way Jessica Biel's looks, so I may go with that cut and color. Hopefully, I can pull it off. :)

This week is my parent's spring break so everybody is home. Blegh. Don't get me wrong, I love it when I have the help and my mom lets me sleep in a little later, but I seriously can't wait to get outta here. Too many people, not enough space.

Today, my mom and I went shopping because I was on a mission to find an Easter outfit for Liam and we did find one. However, it's more casual than I would have liked but it's still cute. We are undecided about getting his picture with the Easter bunny because when he had his picture with Santa, he cried. Here is the shot we got right before the water works. :)

We are pretty sure he'll cry with the Easter bunny and we're not sure if it's worth the $21. So we'll see. :)

Next weekend will be super busy for us. The mom group I'm in is having an Easter party, complete with an Easter egg hunt and I am so excited about it. Liam has never egg hunted before since, he was, ya know, like 7 months last year haha.

            Easter 2011    

And we are also having an Easter egg hunt at my friend Emily's house just for Liam and Sam. I can not wait.  And some time this week, I am going to decorate eggs with Liam, which I am also super excited about. Liam is finally getting to a stage where he can do things on his own now and can participate in more things. There will be lots of pictures to come! :D
