Day 3--


The day started off unlike it usually does; I was woken up at 9:30 by my sister of all people, climbing up onto my bed. Before I opened my eyes, I thought it was Kyle leaning on our bed to give me a kiss goodbye before leaving for the day, but when I rolled over, it was sister!!

You're all probably wondering why I was still in bed at 9:30 this morning. Well, all four of us had an incredibly rough early morning- between 3:30 and 5:30, Addison wouldn't sleep. I'm not sure what was going on, but she'd settle for a while, but then start crying all over again. I'm beginning to wonder if this child is ever going to sleep through an entire night in her life??? Getting up multiple times throughout the night for her got old long ago!!!

So, the kids probably would have kept sleeping- for how long I'm not sure, but sister asked if she could go in their room and wake them up. Of course she could. If they didn't get up then, they wouldn't want to sleep at nap time, and then at bedtime. Bedtime is already a tough enough fight trying to get Miss Addison to bed when she is tired. I've concluded Addison is in the midst of the infamous 'terrible two's'.  I'm beginning to worry what age 3 is going to bring us. If we fight with her this much now, what will it be like when she turns 3?! Oi!

So, because the day didn't start off like usual, I didn't get any exercising done. I did, however, eat a well-rounded breakfast. This time, including eggs! I haven't willingly eaten eggs in a coons age, so eating something other than toast or cereal felt really good! The girls liked it, too. So, note to self: actually cook breakfast a little more often! Eggs, especially. They've tried eggs here and there since they were able to eat solids, but they've never appeared to like them. Until now. Phew!

And, on that line of thought, I didn't really snack much today, either. At lunch time, when I probably should have eaten lunch (but wasn't really in the mood for it), I munched on two cookies that the girls didn't want to eat after eating their own lunch. It kind of surprised me, but oh well. If they weren't going to eat them, then I would! I ate only two. No more.

It might not have been a wise decision (because I should have eaten a good lunch), but I feel that eating only two cookies is another personal victory. Usually I have no self control when it comes to goodies like that. So, yay on me!

Then, late this afternoon, after my appointment to see Dr. Mwanza, I picked up a Dr. Pepper and peanuts at the pharmacy, while I waited for my scrip to be filled. I've heard that nuts are a good source of nutrition, so I thought that would be a good, small snack to eat before I got home and had supper. I wanted cashews, because they're my favourite nut to munch on, but there weren't any. Boo. Peanuts were the next best thing.

Supper was just a left over hamburger from last night. Unfortunately, no salad, though, or veggies. Oops- I did realize I had a fruit smoothie today too- with oranges, strawberries, bananas and plain yogurt. It was good, but I hate the rind when I add oranges. Bleh.

Tomorrow there won't be much exercise either, but we will be walking around the airport most of the afternoon, so I'm going to consider that my exercise for the day!

(Tomorrow is the W.C. airshow, and we are taking the girls and my parents to see it). Its been pretty neat watching the airplanes- specifically the snowbirds- flying overhead in formation while they practice. Hopefully the weather stays nice for it!
