Calm Friday

Not much really to report today, it’s a typical Friday, fairly quiet. Valeria woke up very happy this morning, though I would hope so after a 13 hour sleep.

She was so exhausted after her bath last night and the pain from her gums, that she passed out by about 8 PM. We honestly thought she would wake up around 10 or 11 for a little while then back to bed, but she only fussed a few times within the night and woke up for a quick feed and back to sleep. It’s astonishing to us she slept that long, man I don’t even sleep that long these days. I’m lucky if I get 8 hours most nights. Light sleepers unite!

I did manage to wake up before her and my husband, completing my morning routine and then I heard her little giggle from the bedroom. Always a silly girl! Morning cuddles and a diaper change later, she was up and about.

I ran to start the coffee, wash dishes and get the bread mixed and rising while my husband watched her for 15 to 20 minutes. We are really fortunate he works from home let me tell you. To be fair, not sure how I accomplished all of that in such a short amount of time, it’s like I was running on magic I swear! I took over so that my husband could get back to work.

Not much to report since that really; I’m out of flour so we have to go visit the local flour mill to pick up some more this weekend, Valeria was a bit fussy today from her teeth and I scared her by sneezing. That was quiet the debacle, she got so scared and was crying so hard; so mommy to the rescue for soothing. I’m don’t usually sneeze loud, so not sure what that was about today. Now just writing this quick blog post and listening to some tunes while Valeria naps. I have headphones in so I don’t disturb her.

My weekend seems to be getting busier by the second. I have a friend of mine coming on Saturday at 10 AM to adjust my husband’s bracelet, she will be taking a few links out so it fits him better. I have a hair appointment Saturday at 11 AM for a very drastic change, I’ll keep all of you in suspense until it’s completed. Cleaning, laundry, flour mill trip, maybe some groceries thrown in there somewhere. Also, I’d like to spend some time with my mom and Valeria, but that’s been difficult right now for many reasons. I do have to admit Valeria spent some time with her yesterday.

What else….Oh my cousin had a strange dream. I looked up the potential interpretation. Seems the advice I’ve been giving her may be accurate, her subconscious seems to agree. Doesn’t make me happy to say that, but the mind and heart know before we want to admit it.

Weight Loss update:

Not much to report, my weight hasn’t dropped much at all. I hate the scale; my husband is convinced it’s broken cause apparently he says physically he notices a difference. I do not however. My eating has definitely become a lot cleaner; trying not to buy processed or per-packaged foods and sticking more to fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, and some carbs. I’m definitely making healthier choices and being more conscious of what I’m putting into my body. But my coffee I can not give up, not doing it! I refuse to give up my occasional Starbucks too, yeah no way! I’ve been slacking a bit on my water as well so I filled up my 40 oz tumbler this morning for motivation. Otherwise I will be sticking to what I’m doing, things are sure to pick up in time.

I’m going to end it here, but I hope you all have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world.

Ciao!
