After way too many days of not caring and eating whatever I wanted (probably 8 days) I am back on track as of today. I am kinda tired today because we stayed up playing a euchre-like game with our neighbour friends last night but when the baby is up I am loading both kids in the double stroller and going for a walk. I soooo don't want to (I can be a hermit and I'm feeling tired and lazy right now) but it's warm out so I really should lol.

We went to another birthday party yesterday. This one was for my cousins adopted son who turned 2. They have only had him for 9 months so they were excited to be able to throw their first kids party. Cody had a blast running around with the kids as usual. They had fruit/veggies, pizza and cake. I didn't get to eat as much as I would have liked to since I had to hold Miles and he likes to reach for whatever food you're eating. He stuck to me like glue as always. He wouldn't even let someone else hold him for 5 minutes so I could eat. But whatever, I'm used to it. It was great seeing all my extended relatives since I don't get to see them more than a few times a year usually. It was nice seeing my cousin who is close to my age also having difficulties getting her toddler to eat because I have that problem quite often with Cody. He had a few pieces of fruit at a party and at one point I saw him sharing cake with Mike and I was like "honey he didn't even eat dinner." He didn't know though and I try not to make a fuss over what he eats at parties since they are rare occasions.

I have been doing really well at working towards paying my credit cards off but it is still going to take me a couple years probably. I think I've put $1000 on them just in 2014 which is pretty good considering I am getting paid less while on maternity leave. And I've charged almost nothing on them. So I'm happy about that. It's still really hard to get myself to throw as much money as I can on them but I do it anyways and tell myself one day when I am debt free I will be so relieved.

I think we are supposed to actually have some warm weather this week so we will see if that's true. I still don't believe it lol. I am also supposed to meet some moms as I keep trying to make some lasting mommy friends. I would love more than anything to have at least ONE close mom friend. Fingers crossed it happens. It's hard though because I find a lot of women are really into wine or shopping or stuff that doesn't interest me at all. I'm not saying they have to be into the same TV shows or books as me but there definitely needs to be SOME common ground. We'll see. Anyways, Cody wants lunch so I gotta go!
