Living the dream in Small Town, Minnesota



Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Nothing too exciting going on lately in Wagnerville.  Tax season is in full swing, but with my new job it doesn't seem to be as stressful or time consuming.  I feel like when I leave work, I actually "leave work".  I know Marc is enjoying my lower than usual stress level, and the fact that he isn't basically home alone with the girls every night! 

One new change at our house is the addition of our shiny new Elliptical machine!  I purchased it online, and it arrived on Monday.  We spent some time last night getting it set up.  Marc and I definitely both have some weight to lose, and the odds of me using something in my home are about 100X greater than getting myself to the gym.  With day 1 under my belt, I just need to keep telling myself it can only get easier, right?

I have always heard exercise will enhance  your mood, and make you happier.  This morning, after getting up 30 minutes earlier than usual, I had time to work out, shower, wake up the girls, have breakfast with them, get all 3 of us ready, and still make it to work before 8.  Not a bad start!  Hopefully with some motivation we can keep this routine going!

Miss Mollie is still trying hard to push through one of her top teeth.  She isn't fussy, but she sure does like to bite on her toys!  Everything goes in her cute little drooley mouth - and the only thing that comes out is "DA DA DA!"  A little frustrating for "ma ma" to say the least :)  Oh well, wouldn't be the first kid I know to be a daddy's girl!  She also has started to "army crawl" within the last week, and now she can get wherever she wants to in a matter of minutes.

Allysen is loving preschool and is getting really good at writing different letters, including her whole first name.  She is growing up so fast - it doesn't seem possible that she should be able to write!  She is an incredible big sister - I wish I could go back and take some of the things I learned with me...sorry Jordo!!

That is all for today, I made an appointment on my calendar to hopefully keep this going!
