I give up

The post just a couple days ago is still revalvent. Nothing can go my way. Not even something as simple as a copy machine. Not only will it refuse to e-mail only MY address what I want scanned...it is so crappy that it won't pull through any of the paper. Add to that the air went out (again) at our house (which is now fixed) and that the air is out in only MY office at work AND the fact that my nearly 2 year old refuses to sleep past 3:30 every.single.day and no matter what I can't seem to lose this last bit of weight that I want to.

I give up. Is this my own little pity party? Yes, I believe it is. But this has been about the same story for the past 2 or 3 months. I figure it is time to throw one.

I am frustrated.

This is the Stuff

These lyrics to "This is the Stuff" by Francesca Battistelli describes very well how I am feeling today...and maybe the past week or so.

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

This is the stuff You use

Family Outing

Last week we invested in a new piece of equipment to allow for some family exercise.

A bicycle trailer! He has little pockets in there so we loaded him up with a couple snacks, his juice, and a couple cars to play with.

We planned it so that Colin could play at the Cason Trailhead, we could eat a picnic lunch, and then bike during Colin's nap time. It worked out perfectly.

We biked for 2 hours. Colin fell asleep right away and didn't wake up until we made it to the Thompson Lane Trailhead. He stayed awake the rest of the ride and enjoyed it.

I will say a two hour bike ride pulling a trailer with a nearly 30 pound kid in it is a great workout and we hope do it often.

And you don't realize, until you see a picture, how badley sports bras make you look. Hello uni-boob.

If you are looking for a bike helmet for you little guy or girl I suggest going to the bike shop near the Square. We couldn't find one small enough for his head at Target but the bike shop carried toddler sized helmets and he loves it. He will wear it around the house if we let him.
