Hello from your resident slacker...

So, when I started this blog, I had every intention of blogging at least weekly. It's been well over a month since my last post. What a slacker.

One might think that I've been super busy. Nope. Not really. I have had a fairly busy week & a half. But not a busy month. Ah well.

I am no longer the proud mom of a two year old. I'm now the proud mom of a three year old. Yikes. Three. She's even more spoiled than she was prior to her birthday thanks to very generous friends and family. However, the over-abundance of gifts hasn't stopped her from asking if she can have this & that various object for her birthday. (sigh) The kid is seriously set. Seriously.

She's doing rather well on potty training. We have only 2 diapers in our posession, but we probably won't use 'em. She spends her days (and nights) in big girl panties. On occasion, she has an accident. Doesn't make me TOO mad unless she pees on me. I know some adults who have less control than my big girl.

The State of Washington is experiencing more rain than usual (at least that's how it feels). We had sun this afternoon & I honestlty can't remember the last time we had sun. The brief sunbreak gave me a chance to get outside and pull a few weeds & lots of morning glory, as well as plant 6 petunia plants. Elisa got a chance to dig up (and kiss) some earth worms, play with her bubble machine & ride her big girl bike.

I made lasagne for dinner and as soon as I turned on the oven, the sun came out. Figures.

Hubby is entering the REALLY busy season, so it was a rare night that he was home for dinner. Kinda nice to have all three of us around the table.

I've also been doing my best to eat a bit better. I no longer drink CoffeeMate. Now I drink Trader Joe's Soy Milk Creamer it's ah-may-zing! I was a CoffeeMate addict for years, until we took a recent health food class. The next day, I read the label on my beloved creamer and discovered that I certainly wasn't doing myself any favors. So, with the help of a dear friend, I discovered my newest addition, the Trader Joe's Soy Milk Creamer. It tastes every bit as good as my former coffee addition, without the guilt! I'm also trying to make other healthier choices, but they're slow coming. At least I'm trying, right?

I'm quite certain that there has been more going on in my ultra-mundane life, but I'm not thinking of it right now. I AM thinking that I should be playing with my daughter right now, tho!
