Lincoln is officially in his big boy bed. Today was Day 2. He still is not taking a nap in it. But, he does spend about 45 minutes of quiet time in his room. Rob fell asleep with him last night. It was so sweet watching my 2 boys sleeping so soundly next to each other. Tonight Rob was at hockey and I had to put him to bed. 40 minutes later he was sleeping.
He has been such a good boy lately. Today, he played in him room numerous times. It made up for no nap. CHOO CHOOs are his favorite toy. Unc is Lincoln's new name for my brother. Now, we have Nana, Papa, Gaga and Unc for my side of the family. He has yet to give nicknames to Rob's side.
There are so many moments that I would love to bottle up and save forever. In 10 years am I going to remember him saying "Titty for Kitty", or him patting the ground wanting me to play with him? He is talking up a storm. We had quite the conversation lately.
He loves Elmo, Coop, Choo choo, playing with balls. He is starting to learn the wheels on the bus, head shoulders knees and toes, and the hokey pokey. I think he is very smart but I am him mom.
We are getting ready to plan his 2nd birthday party.

Update on New Zealand
My sister is safe. Thank God! It is so hard not being able to call her and talk to her. I did get to chat with her briefly on facebook last night. She said "It is F*** up." I can't even imagine what they are going though. I am so glad that we did not book our airfare there yet. It is driving my mom crazy not being able to contact her.
She was running on the treadmill when it happened. She jumped off and ran to a wall like everyone else is doing. Then she had to walk home. I think that would be the scariest part of it all. All the cooley kids are safe and sound and now we wait for updates.

Some Weeks
Some weeks I feel like I cannot do anything right. This is one of those weeks. My darling husband has been giving me a hard time about almost everything I do. But, the catch is he is joking. I hate how he jokes around. I am very sensitive to words. Hence, my love language is Words of Affirmation. I can only take his "jokes" for so long before they start to hurt my feelings.
I said it but do I feel better? No, but my workout helped today. I swam really hard for 40 minutes and got in a mile and half. Not to bad. The one thing I have been doing for myself is going to the gym 5 days a week. It is very nice to get an hour to myself. That is my sanity.
The other thing is I am really thinking about going to New Zealand. But, being financially irresponsible is not me. I never do anything like that. It is a once in a lifetime chance and I miss my sister. 3500 dollars is what I estimate I will spend. Airfare 1400 dollars and the rest for food, hotel and spending money.
Do I go??
On a good note Happy Valentines Day to me. I got an I-phone!!!!

Busy Week
I had such a busy week last week. I worked all 5 days!! That is very rare for me. It was crazy!! If I were ever to go back to work full time I would hire a cleaning lady to come in once a week. My house is a disaster.
Lincoln scratched his cornea on Friday and we had to go to the Dr. and get him eye drops. He seems to be doing better this morning.
I started weight watchers again. We are able to do it at work for 36 dollars for 17 weeks. I am down 5.2lbs in 3 weeks!!
Pictures to come later.

Lots of Complaining Beware.
Today, was not a good day. Lincoln is no longer taking naps and is getting up at 6:45. He goes strong all day! I do put him down for quite time for an hour but still!
I just got off antibiotics last Wednesday for a sinus infection and guess what??? It is back. I am even more congested than before. Also, the antibiotics brought along another problem in itself. I should have thought about what comes along with being on antibiotics.
I am tired and cranky and with the impending snow storm I had to go to meijers tonight. It wasn't to bad until I went to check out. Don't get me wrong it was busy but people were polite. Expect the fat lady in the motorized car in front of me with her 4 kids behind her ages 8-12ish. She would not move so I could start putting my items on the belt. So, I just started reaching around her. She paid and the checkout girl had half my stuff bagged and the lady still had not moved. The checkout girl had to ask her twice to pull forward. Than the lady decided she needed a rain check. The checkout girl said sure as soon as I am done with her order. Once, again can you please pull forward. She then told the girl how I was rude and rushed her. Being very passive aggressive. Her kids were so embarrassed by her behavior. I have never wanted to yell at someone so much in my life. I was a half a second away from going off on her and I had some not very nice words to say. I also wanted to run into her with the grocery cart. But, I did not. As hard as it was I got a penny out for Lincoln and talked with him. She was so lucky.
Rob was also cranky today. 2 cranky parents and one no napping child =not a good day.
On the plus side I got to talk to my sister! I miss her so much!

Better week
I am finally starting to feel a little better. The antibiotics are kicking in. The chiropractor adjusted my back again and I feel great today. I am on a week of low impact exercise then next week I can get back to normal. Only walking and biking for me! I am trying to challenge myself walking on an incline of 4-8 throughout the walk.
I also signed up for the lazy triathlon at the YMCA. I love doing it every spring. It is a nice way to get in different activities than I normally do and I usually see results.
Weight watchers starts at work on Thursday. We can do it for only 36 dollars for 17 weeks. A steal of a deal!
I was very happy that I lost 8 lbs in December and somehow I have put on 10lbs. How does that work?? Someone please explain that to me. Needless to say I have been really down this month. I find myself jealous of my sister and how she is able to stay so skinny. It's not her fault and she does work hard at it. But, then my pity party stopped last night. A girl that starting working out about 2 years ago has lost about 30-40lbs. And she looks amazing. We are built a lot alike so that is my motivation. If she can do it so can I.
For 2011 I am going to try to have a better opinion about myself. Well at least try.
