Monday
Today was a good but hard day. It was supposed to be the final day of bootcamp, but since she had to cancel last week, we have one more day, but we treated it is if it were the last day...endurance challenges...how long can you do: jumping jacks, lunges, squats, push ups, sit ups, wall sits, etc etc etc. I ended up winning a couple, and won two free cardio classes! Super stoked about that. Got measured and lost over 4 inches this month. I will take it.
Mady was super clingy today. She kept coming up to me and giving hugs and kisses. It melted my heart. Then, at bedtime, I wrapped her up in her blanket (yes my almost 10 month old still likes to be swaddled) and she just stared at me with a grin on her face...It made me giggle, so I laid in bed with her and we just stared at each other, while I was stroking her face and giving her little cheeks kisses. Such a sweet baby, I will remember that moment forever. I love this baby, even though she doesnt let me sleep...Mady tried zuccini today, she liked it. She thinks she has to feed herself, and is getting to where she wants to put the spoon in her own mouth rather than have me feed her, which is so cute, but she is so messy. She did end up taking a few more steps today while I was playing with her.
She makes this cutest face where she sticks out her lower lip and reaches her arms up as if to say hold me. I love it. She made kissing noises today, too. She likes to put her mouth on my shoulder and blow raspberries. She was cracking up when I was blowing raspberries on her belly and tickling her under her armpits tonight after her bath.
Misty and Grace ran with me again today. It was fun. Misty is super fast, and Grace isn't, so Misty gets frustrated, but I told Misty to stay with Grace and encourage her.

I know my husband lets me go to boot camp for an hour in the morning and then watches the younger three so i can go run in the afternoon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but he doesn't do anything else. I come home from running, exhausted and sore, and I have to cook dinner, feed Madalyne, which means I dont get to eat my dinner until its cold. He is way done before anyone else gets done eating, but he just sits there and watches me feed Mady and doesnt even offer to help. Then he gets up and goes to watch tv or play on his computer while I clean up, give Mady and Kallie a bath, nurse Mady and then rock her until she falls asleep. I mean, come on. I know I am the woman and most of the job falls on me, but I wonder why in the world do I have to do ALL of the work..Why does he get to sit on his rear and watch tv or play on the computer? He doesnt even put his clean laundry up anymore. He leaves it on the floor in our bedroom until I put it up or he wears it. He cant even put his dirty laundry in the hamper, he throws it on top of the hamper...Dude, open the lid and put the clothes INSIDE tha hamper..please. And, I left a load of clean clothes in the basket to see how long it would be there until someone folded it...No one ever did, it stayed there for a week! I couldn't take it any longer so I folded and put the clothes away. I am so tired. I know I am a stay at home mom, but seriously. Its not like I just sit around all day. Taking care of Madalyne and Kallie is hard work in itself. Doing the grocery shopping, planning meals, playing with kids, doing laundry, cleaning up after everyone in the house (6 people live in this house), paying bills, cleaning the kitchen, preparing meals...i mean, i would like to sit down and vege too. And he wonders why he isn't getting any. I am too exhausted at the end of the day to want to feel all lovey dovey with him. Ugh.
