I Feel Energized Today

My daughter drank from a cup for the first time today! She did such a good job, I am so proud of her. She threw it across the floor more than she drank from it, but she had fun and liked her first taste of juice, that is all that matters. It is so much fun watching children as they experience things for the first time. It gives me such joy to share those moments with them.

Well, I didn't get any cleaning or laundry done yesterday. I decided to play with my kids, do a workout and after dinner I went to one of my best friend's house to make cards. So today, I have the cleaning to do for Easter dinner. But Super Hubby did some of it last night, lightening my load for today. He is helping my brother move into his new house today, so I am on my own with the kids and cleaning to do.

Congrats to my brother on his move. He and his wife must be so excited. I wish I could go down and see the house. I hear it is incredible, optioned out with every luxury. And they got all new furniture, as well. I would love to see it today, but with all three kids and the cleaning to do, I just don't see it happening. I will have to get the details from my hubby. Sorry, bro.

Today I juggle cleaning the house, and doing some laundry for the kids. I have to wash the outfit my daughter will wear for her first Easter! It is such a beautiful day, I wish the kids could be outside playing. But I never let them play outside alone and I need to be working in the house. We will just have to see how the day shapes up.

I have to get my workout in, since I probably won't get to it tomorrow. I am seeing better results than I expected. I lost a bunch of weight when I was breastfeeding because my diet was so limited, and my body has to work so hard to produce milk. So I was pretty much right where I wanted to be on the scale. I just wanted to tone and be able to eat whatever I wanted without picking back up the weight. Well, I am eating what I want (including pizza and peanut butter eggs), have lost five or six pounds, and have already noticed a difference in the strength and toning in my legs and arms. Clothes that were too tight to wear last summer (before I got pregnant with my daughter) are now a little loose! Yeah for me! I will be quite ready for that trip to Jamaica next month for one of my best friends' wedding! I will just have to buy a bunch of new clothes that fit!

I have already started the laundry, and the kids are set with snacks and naps, so off I go to get my cleaning underway. I feel energized and ready for action today.
