2/11/12 Blog Journal


Isn't my baby amazing! I am so happy. I'm just so grateful and honored to be her mother. I don't mean to be all cheezy or try to sound deep, but for years I thought I wouldn't be a mom, so the fact that I am now just blows me away. It just makes me so so happy.
Ok, so I haven't blogged forever! I just go inspired by Amy Wilson's blog, so here goes. Here I go again, Here I go again. So these are not going to be very visually appealing or anything, but just about my mad, crazy life. Probably super boring, so I don't expect anyone to actually read it.
I think it will help me remember to take advantage of every moment and remember why I must get healthy. Sammi and Adam are everything to me.Why are things crazy? Well because I decided that I can workout, eat healthy, be a loving wife and mother, and work full time, and go to school all at the same time. I must be crazy right?
But it just feels like what I must do right now. I feel like the most important thing is balance! So now I've had a little fun, now its time to study for two hours.
10 AM - 12 PM: I actually like studying. I mean I hate that it takes away from family time etc, but I love learning more about health informatics. I’m realizing how much I really do like my job. And there are somany different aspects of health informatics – it’s fascinating.
Health Informatic professionals are tasked toensure that high quality, necessary information is available to healthprofessionals and to ensure that quality healthcare is provided topatients. They can deal more with the ITside, the clinical side, coding, reimbursement-the possibilities are endless. I just love expanding my knowledge. There is so much more to learn.
12 – 3 PM: It’s kindof amazing how you can relax and yet get quite a few things done in 3 hours. I love Saturdays! Mostly because it’s more time with myadorable baby. Oh Sammi you are so muchfun! You are a ballerina today in a pinkonsie, your ballerina baby legs and tutu. So much fun. For lunch you hadgreen beans, sweet potato turkey, yogurt, and mommy’s pants. I’m not sure why the latter was so appetizingto you, but you kept insisting. Then Daddy and I were trying to get you to crawl for your favorite little balltoys. You can crawl a little bigbackwards. You scooted a little. Its so cute to see you lift up your bum inthe air and try to move. You will figureit out soon I know it. Then we danced alittle bit to Glee songs. You just lovemusic and dancing. You are such a littleangel.We started laundry, cleaned the living room, and then messedup the living room. A mommy’s work isnever done.
So I think I did pretty good for lunch, considering. Adam really wanted a burger. He loves Carl’s Jr and wanted to go toSconecutter for their fries. Oh man,what I would have loved was a bacon cheeseburger, fries, zucchini strips, and achocolate shake. Isn’t that disgusting? I don’t even want to knowhow much fat and calories that is. Andalthough it tastes good for a moment, you immediately regret it. I feel shame for not having control, andphysical all that grease, well its not pretty.
Now I don’t believe in deprivation though. I do have one meal a week where I can go somewhat crazy, but this was not it. I want 75% of my meals to be super healthy – protein, complex carbs, veggies, & fruits. But I don’t think its that bad to have a couple of meals that are not quite as healthy, as long as you don’tgo crazy. So instead of having what Imentioned I had the low carb burger – so no bun and a side salad. I did steal a couple of Adam’s fries. But it was delicious and juicy the burger andno guilt. Yes, that is not something I should have every day – I know the burger is still high in fat etc. But again, much improved from what I really wanted originally lol. Back to studying!
9 PM: Wahoo, I gotone of my tasks done. I just need to dothe other one – paper really and then this first class is done with WGU. Woot! Adam and I also have watched some Smallville episodes – our latestkick. And holy cow there are like 12 seasons or something like that so it will last a while methinks lol. Tonight we had my chicken and rice casserole which we love. Sammi even likes it. She especially loved the chocolate mousse pudding we had for dessert. She kept getting mad when mommy would have a bite. Looks like she has my sweet tooth.
Oh Sammi seriously you are the most amazing thing in our lives. I could just watch you for hours and still just be amazed. I love watching you discover the world. I just want your life to be happy, healthy, and last forever. I am enjoying every moment with my darling baby girl. Please don’t grow up too fast! Then I'm going to play with Sammi (my adorable baby) and watch some tv. Then after that -studying some more. Woot!
9:00 - 10:00 AM: My day to sleep in. I so want to sleep until 10:30, but I keep tossing and turning. Silly. Whats the point. Must get lazy ass up. I have a lot of stuff to do today, but I'm going to enjoy every moment. I just dressed Sammi as a ballerina, with at tutu to boot. Poor thing is still getting over her horrid cough. Can I just say it is the saddest thing to hear your baby cough. Adam made breakfast and I played with Sammi a little bit after dressing her. We both did the dishes (Adam mostly lol) and now Adam is watching the baby and working out so I can study for a couple of hours. Can I just say I have a wonderful husband!!!!
