Chocolate Child!

This morning for breakfast we had chocolate chip pancakes!

Miles really loves pancakes, he's eaten 3 and asked for more but I've cut him off because he's like a goldfish and will eat until he makes himself sick. Plus, only 3 hours ago he'd already eaten oatmeal and an apple.

Kiddo is covered in chocolate though!

Thought I'd share a picture.

Not the best picture in the world, but at least you can see what I mean!

Now I'm off to tidy the house!

Whew!

Holy cow, am I ever excited to finally be off this computer!
I have now created a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/#!/IsisBaily) and will soon have an ad out on facebook for my forum. This is very time consuming!

Tomorrow... probably clean the house. It could use some tidying.

Now?  Time to RELAX. Off to go lay on the couch, and play Oblivion for the next hour or 2 until my 'hubby' comes home, then bedtime.

Hope everyone had a great day!!

Poor Little Man..

Miles was sick yesturday.
He seemed fine, and then suddenly.. there was vomit all over my couch. We spent the remainder of the day indoors and took it easy. I'd decided to put the little guy to bed early, and got him all tucked in. Of course this idea didn't go over well with him and he stood by the gate and cried for a little bit before going quiet.
I didn't want to risk waking him, so I didn't go check on him right away. But when I did... this is what I found;

Tired pup.

He slept well the rest of the night, and was up this morning at his regular hours. We've been taking it easy today to just make sure he's feeling better, but now I've got a sore throat and I guess Deven nearly got sick a couple of times at work! Oh boy... looks like somethings going through the house...

Here's hoping for a well weekend!

Workin' Hard or Hardly Workin'?

Holy cow..
So I haven't updated in a while, and it probably seems as though I've really fallen off track. I can tell you this is all true. I have fallen very off track with my blogging, and it's because I am so busy with my forum (http://www.justusmoms.forumotion.ca/). I have been making fliers to put up around the city, I'll be putting an ad on facebook for it, and much more... busy busy busy!

I've also been trying to help my aunt out by spreading the word about Bethesda. Bethesda is a centre for teen Mothers to come to when they're pregnant or in need of some place to go. It housed many people through out the years, including myself for a short time, and now all those people are trying to keep it alive. Salvation army is trying to shut it down.. so far we've managed to raise a grand total of  $42, 047. But that's not nearly enough. We have 66 days until the Salvation army closes Bethesda. We have 66 days to raise 1.5 million dollars and save Bethesda.

There will be a BBQ held on April 20th, 2012 at the Covent Market, where hotdogs, veggie dogs, and hamburgers will be served, and all proceeds donated, in an effort to save Bethesda.

Just so ya know!

So yea.. pretty busy.
That'll be it for my blog post today.. I have to get Miles into bed now, but I will post soon about my life and try my best to get back into daily posting! I have some catching up to do!

Lots of News!

First off;

 WAHOOO! Our PS3 has finally been fixed and I have been glued to the screen playing Oblivion. I cannot even express how much I love this darn game, it is just... amazing.

Secondly;
 Bit of a rant....
So our dishwasher and our fridge aren't working! It's very frustrating because now all our food is going bad and the building supers said that an electrician will be out asap and that they'd let me know Monday just when that would be, and well it's Monday and I still haven't heard from them... debating calling them back because honestly.. I don't feel like living off dry cereal and TV dinners.

Third;

 I'm feeling a little emotional today. I recieved news that very soon the judge will be putting the last stamp of approval on the adoption. I'm excited for the family but I think about this baby so often that I do feel a little saddened by this news. He'll be 8 months old this week. So big! I'll be able to visit him soon too and give him a little something I made not that long ago. I'm excited to see him and his family but I know this is going to be very emotional for me and that makes it a little bit of a hard pill to swallow. I guess I'll find out what I'm in for when I finally chat with the family and make arrangements.


And now?
I'm back to my game... Hopefully I'll have something interesting to blog about tomorrow now that the nice weather is coming in!

Slowing Down.

It seems my posts here have been slowly down dramatically.
I went from posting every day to posting most of the time, and to now being a week into March with only 2 posts aside from this one.
Well I guess that means there is only 1 thing left to do... Do more things and post more often!
Luckily, with spring being right around the corner, this will be much easier to accomplish!

So recently; yknow how I posted about my whole.. I wanna lose weight, deal?  Well I'm still on it. I've cut down junk food dramatically, and have made an effort to at the very least go for a walk. Deven is being supportive and has even suggested destinations for us to walk to. However, I'm still not as active as I would like to be.. I need a buddy. Someone who will, at the very least, walk with me each evening so that both myself and the little guy get some fresh air right before bed. So I think the next step I'll be taking in my journey to a thinner me, will be to get a walking buddy!

Happy 6 Months!

Well, as of yesturday, Deven and I have been together 6 months! I'm very happy with the way everythings going, and we're doing wonderful! I still have no complaints!
Yesturday we walked over to Petsmart, bought crickets for the zards, and a food bucket for the cats since Honey is a dumba** and chews through all of the food bags.. lucky me. So now we have that and it's working out pretty good so far! It even has a lock on it so if she figures out how to open it (which wouldn't surprise me) we can lock it.
Honey's in heat right now too, which makes her extra annoying. My Dad suggested cross-breeding her with a rabbit to get the 'hybrid' Cabbit. Deven had no idea you could do that, and so off we went to google what they would look like, because we began seriously considering doing this. Upon our searching we discovered that the hybrid breed is actually a MYTH. Which yknow.. makes a whole lot more sense then a cat/rabbit breed. So unfortunately, we won't be having any cabbit babies.. Lol.
Anyways, that's pretty much all that's new with me!

March!

A lot will be changing for me this month.
I'm unhappy with my weight. I was pregnant 8 months ago, but since then I've not lost a pound but continued gaining. I'm at the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life, and it's time to change that. Pants that I bought only months ago, no longer fit and I'm back to wearing sweatpants pretty much all the time, or just staying in my PJs all day. So this month... Will be about taking steps to reach my goals. I want to lose about 40-45lbs.

My plan;
Change my diet to include more fruits and veggies and less take out and sweets.
Start going for evening walks on the warmer evenings (maybe I'll 'steal' my Moms dogs?)
On the cooler evenings, attempt 1 full episode from the Jillian Micheals workout DVD collection. (This will be done as I can, because doing the full episode all at once leaves me completely winded and feeling faint)
Take multi-vitamins daily

So that's the plan!
Today I weigh about 160lbs. (Don't have a scale so don't know for sure until I go to my Moms lol)
I'll weigh in at the end of the month and hopefully I'll be down a few!!
Wish me luck!
