I'm starting early this year...

So today I walked 3.57 miles which is the lake here in town. I'm proud of myself because I usually only do a few sections. I'm starting my new years resolutions early this year for 1) I really need to get back in shape and 2) I have pictures with my boy sometime in January or February. haha. Yesterday I did an arm workout with Jillian Michaels on my Wii and today I did some yoga before walking the lake. My goal is to be able to run the whole thing eventually. Not sure what a reasonable amount of time for that is so I just know Ill make it. I love how I feel when I work out everyday and can't wait to make it a routine again. I sleep better as well, so lets hope this helps my awake until 2 business and maybe I can sleep more than 6 hours a night. pfft yeah right. Im only sharing this because I need to "write" it for me to want to do it. Sounds ridiculous but it makes me feel like I have to. lol.

Tristans Birthday is this coming Saturday and I cannot wait! He insisted on spongebob this year. Then afterwards were going to the Christmas parade. This year were going to stay for the lights being turned on and all that good stuff. I have hand warmers too. Last year we froze our hands off. Steph and I felt bad for the boys. Im prepared this year. haha. December is a busy month with finals and Christmas, but I cant wait for the semester to be over so I can start fresh next semester. Hope everyone has a good week!

Too much food!!!

I am thankful for Thanksgiving because I eat way to much and get to sleep. HAHA Today was great and my food was amazing. My friend Alisha brought the mashed potatoes and they were amazing. Spent all day cooking and doing dishes but I must say all that finally payed off in the end. :)

It was delicious. I actually just woke up from my food coma with a toothache. WONDERFUL!!! Me and Tristan went to take my dad some food after we ate then came home to watch movies. Hes still awake...Were watching the Christmas Dinosaur. Were both exhausted. But in all seriousness, I really am thankful for everyone in my life no matter how close we are. Im also thankful for my son who keeps me going everyday and for my opportunity to go to school for pretty much free (besides student loans). I have a good life for the moment and am thankful for that as well. Hope everyone elses thanksgiving was as good as ours. Love you all.

I look exhausted. haha. Night Bloggers.

Ouch.

So everytime tristan gets in the car, I remind him not to shut the door before I buckle him in. He thinks this is a joke...until now. For some reason I locked the front passenger side of the car...normally i can reach from the outside through the open back door and unlock it. Never again will I do that. Heres why:

This is after about an hour after he shut the door on my arm.

It hurt so bad, I actually screamed and thought my arm was going to be completely smashed in the door. I told him to open the door so he let go...he thought I was playing I think. After buckling him in and explaining that it was unacceptable to shut the door before hes buckled and that he hurt his mama...i bawled. It stung so bad and when i got home and got settled this is what it looked like. Now this morning this is what it looks like:

It wraps around the side of my arm and its super sensitive. So needless to say i have learned my lesson about unlocking the door like I did. And on the plus side. When we got  home Tristan said "sorry for making you cry mom" like 8 times. I love him...Little punk.

Moving, School, and Thanksgiving!!!

Well, I am all moved and pretty much settled. Still have lots to go through and put away but all my daily necessities are put away. :) The only thing I don't like about my new place is how the bathroom door opens into the hallway not into the bathroom. so when its just Tristan and I the bathroom door is left open haha. 

Here is the Bathroom...my favorite room haha. Its the prettiest I think.

 Here is one side of the living room...its set up really weird.

Here is the other side. :)

And here is the Dining room. Ill post the kitchen some other time and Tristan's room is a mess. haha

I love my carpet. Its really pretty and matches my green couch covers. I dropped one of my classes and will be sticking with three a semester. Now its just a matter of trying to pass intermediate or failing the final in hopes of getting a c- so I can retake it next fall. (if you get a C you cant retake the class). Stupid right? oh well. I'm much more relaxed about school now though. and that is a huge relief. 

I am soooo ready for thanksgiving. What can I say I love to eat. :) This year I'm going to be doing things a little different then the past two years. Turkey of course, stuffing, and candied yams...not sure how i want to do the yams yet. But I'm going to make green bean casserole this year too. Never made it before so I hope it turns out OK. :) This time of year is my favorite. I love to cook and bake. Cant wait for Tristan's birthday party and gingerbread houses the next day. I cant wait to decorate for Christmas either. I'm in a festive mood i think but am not ready to listen to Christmas music. ha ha. 

Met with Tristan's speech therapist and from the sounds of it he would not have needed it if he didn't get so frustrated but because he gets angry when people cant understand him they decided he needs it. Hes super excited about this because he knows it is going to help him. And for that I am grateful. His parent teacher conference went great. hes got a few things he needs to work on but he is overall right where he needs to be. He definitely knows his colors. he named 19 out of 26 in 30 seconds. I guess 26 is where a 6 year old should be lol. Hes got a remarkable memory and is very structured and rule oriented. he likes to know whats going to happen before he gets involved and knows all the rules. Hes a great kid...

Well that's all for now. its been forever since i have written so i thought i would. Love. me
