FEELING tired, from lack of sleep. Levi hasn't been sleeping great as he is getting over another ear infection :( so that means mommy doesn't get much sleep either. I should probably be in bed right now, but oh well I guess.

HOPING that Levi feels better soon. I want my happy little monster back.

LISTENING to Paul talk on the phone.

EXCITED for a fun weekend... Hancock Expo/Craft Sale uptown tomorrow at the school, and Sunday bringing Levi out to the farm in his costume to take some pics with his cousins.

WANTING an ice cream mini, but it's too late now so I better skip it.

THINKING about how I can get myself motivated to lose these last 10 pounds that don't want to go away...contemplating Weight Watchers, but I don't want to pay to go to the meetings. I am cheap.

That's all I got, so I am off to bed. For a few hours anyway.

FEELING tired. sore. achy. I guess that's what shopping all morning and being on your feet most of the day will do.

HOPING that harvest goes well and is done before too late this year. So far so good.

NEEDING a massage...my neck and shoulders are so tight. Pretty sure it is from always having a munchkin in my arms.

WISHING that money grew on trees. Ha.

LOVING all the new things that Levi is learning lately. Blowing bubbles, putting his paci back in his own mouth, up on all fours, scooting/army crawling to get where he wants, and just today he starting lifting his butt up so he'll be on just his hands and feet. He is such a goof. Love that little booger.

WORRYING about weaning Levi from nursing. I was planning on doing it at 6 months, but I am having second thoughts at times. It doesn't help that he won't take a bottle from me anymore. Apparently he wised up and decided that I want the real deal from mom! That is a whole nother topic that I will probably end up going into more detail on in his 6 month post. Or not. Depends if it's resolved and if I remember. Ha.

WONDERING if I will ever lose these last 10 pounds and feel like I look good again. Hopefully this winter if Paul is home more to watch Levi I can get some workouts in. My biggest problem is watching what I eat. I try, but it's so hard!! I have a love/hate relationship with food. I have a crappy metabolism too, always have. Aaaanyways....

EXCITED for Levi's 6 month pictures on Tuesday!!! Stephanie Foto from Morris is going to be taking them. From what I've seen, she does a great job. Hopefully he'll cooperate and not be a cranky pants! My mom is going to come with so that will be nice too. I will share them as soon as I get the cd I'm sure!

HOPING that Levi continues to make progress in the sleeping dept....the last 3 nights he's been doing great! Up only once to nurse then usually back to sleep for a few more hours. Fingers crossed that it will keep getting better and longer stretches! :)

WISHING that my house would clean itself. And stay that way. Lol. I like my house to be picked up and clean, but it's a wee bit harder to do when you have a little one to play with. I wasn't a great house keeper to begin with anyways, much to Paul's dismay.

PLANNING on baking some fresh bread tomorrow. Haven't done it for awhile and it just sounds yummy.

EATING a Schwan's Caramel Apple Pop. Actually just finished it. Love them! Made sure I got an extra box this month since they are seasonal and won't be back til next summer.

LISTENING to the crickets outside the open windows.

ENJOYING the cool evenings and nice days lately.

SAVORING every moment with Levi as he keeps growing and learning new things every day. Such as:

Yep. Up on all fours now. Well, mostly. :)

EXCITED to go shopping next weekend. Trying to figure out how I can get all the things I need (or want) without spending a fortune.

READY for bed. Good night!
