5k

The plan ( because I'm lazy and unmotivated)

5km in six weeks. ( I got this from Today's Parent )

Week one (which started today)

Workout 1 (today): 30 minute walk
Workout 2 (wednesday): 7-min walk, 2 min run, 1 min walk, repeat 3 times, 7 min walk
Workout 3 ( Friday) : 7 min walk, 2 min run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run, 90 sec walk, 2 min run, 7 min walk

:) The walk today was nice, I was in a bit of a funk today. We went to the provincial park for a bit, which cheered me up, and then went for a walk. I think that was all I needed. Anyways, hopefully i stick to this, I'll let you know!

Bad form...

kinda went awol...

Sorry about the sporadic updates. I know that they're few and far between, but things have been just a little hectic since DJ was born. It seems as if we've had visitors non stop. I'll start with a quick update on the last little while.

-In laws visited
-My sister and Niece visited
-My bestie and her fiancee visited
-Alex went home, leaving Sara to deal with a grouchy mama by herself for a week lol
-Katie cut one of her two year old molars and is super cranky while she works on the rest
-Potty training sucks. Toddlers seem to be way to busy to stop and go for a pee.
-Kids are growing up WAY to fast. Raevyn will be one on Saturday, and Sophie will be two :'(
-We decided not to go to my cousin's wedding, which makes me sad, but it was an unrealistic trip with two under two's
-We paid off the credit card!!!
-We got a flat tire ( one of our nice newish snow tires) and we both just laughed! I love not having to worry about money
-We brought Katie's twin bed back upstairs and put her toddler bed in our room for DJ
-It makes me kinda lonely having him sleeping in a different bed...so he starts the night off in his bed, and I bring him into our bed when he wakes to feed. This way I get snuggles with my hubby, and then i get to snuggle with my little guy for the rest of the night :)
- Elijah has been working out a lot. He has a pair of shorts that used to be to small, and now they're to big. We're going to have to buy him a new swim suit as well, or they're going to fall off his skinny  butt.
-We've been eating out WAY to much, and not eating healthy enough at home.
-We're going home for two weeks in July!! ( Karen that's for you )
-People see my little guy and ask how old he is, he's five months today, they think he's 7 or 8 months. Katie on the other hand, is still little :) I love my babies.

Mmmmmm that's it for my update, not for a short rant:

I think the thing I don't like the most about military life, is not knowing when you're going to be posted. We've been here for four years, which should mean we're nearing the end of this posting. But then again, you can always get posted to different units on base. You could spend you're entire career in one place if they wanted to keep you there. Elijah is ranked pretty high for his rank and trade, which likely means a promotion next fiscal year. With promotions you typically get a posting as well. We were hoping to go to Borden, and he could have two postings there ( one at 400 and one at the school. But since they're closing 400 squadron, there goes that idea.

Not knowing how long we'll be here, is keeping me from being social. I don't want to go and make a whole bunch of friends with kids, just to leave them all in a year. Next posting I think will be easier, because we'll be going there as a young family, and we will make friends who have kids, instead of spending the first half of our posting drinking and hanging out with the party crowd. For some reason, those friends seem to disappear once you have children, and starting over in the same town kinds sucks. Oh well, we have a few good friends here, I just wish I could suck it up and stop being anti social.

Super Size Me

It's 9 am, and I just finished watching super size me. What a disgusting movie. They show parts of a surgery to shrink a man's stomach. It's a good thing we've decided to start eating healthy again, starting today. Even after watching that movie, I think I would still happily go and get a burger and fries. Knowing that my daughter would only eat the fries if you let her, and that whatever goes into my body, goes into my son's. Knowing all the toll it takes on my body, and how sluggish it makes me feel... I would still go for a milk shake. Just one more, that would no doubt become another a couple of weeks later, or days, depending on how lazy we are. I'm sure I'll eat fast food again. There's just something about the smell as you drive by, or maybe it's just how often you see their logos...whatever it is, it's addictive and I love my greasy foods...until I'm done eating and feel like crap.

So our goal is really just to eat healthier. But I'd like to eat local as much as possible too. I'm going to try cooking with foods I've never tried, and try to eat seasonal farmers market foods. Lets see how well we do, having both grown up on very limited diets.

Pacifier

So I made the decision when DJ was born, not to give him a soother. Elijah supported me 100%, even though there were many MANY times when I was about ready to walk barefoot through the snow, break into walmart and steal one in the middle of the night. Instead, we waited the 6-8 weeks that it takes for breastfeeding to become well established. Let me tell you, it was a long 6-8 weeks...but it was long with Katie to, and she had a soother. DJ is 3 1/2 months old now, and he's just about the easiest baby I've ever seen. Granted he does get cranky some times, and doesn't normally like to sleep alone, but hey, neither do I :) Anyways, aside from the few times he just can't settle down, it's really the toddler in the house that's causing me to loose hair. Little Miss Kay has decided to start cutting teeth again, and is the crankiest little girl ever. It makes me wish i hadn't stopped nursing her. But then again, I wouldn't have DJ yet. And he is totally worth the cranky teething toddler that i can't help lol. Well that's enough of me ranting, later!

 Once again i have no idea why blogger flips my photo's...

Chair before

Chair after! It's going in the playroom

Bookshelf for the playroom

Family tree in the playroom

They're backed with felt and there's a square of velcro on the wall, with each persons name painted underneath

And my little man chilling in his bumbo chair :)

That's what we've been up to :) Play off game number three tonight at 7:30, if we win, we go to the championships. If we loose, we play another game to decide if we play in the gold of bronze medal game.

Zzz's and smiles

I'm not sure why it does this to my pictures sometimes...grrr. anyways. Naptime, I love you. You make long days possible. Now if you'll excuse me, i have laundry to fold ( aka... i'm going to sit my ass down on the couch, read a book and snuggle with my little man ♥)
