The kids and I didn't do much today after our busy weekend in the falls. Cody was soooo cranky for 3/4 of the day probably because he didn't nap well on the weekend and it was seriously driving me crazy. Like he'd just whine and not even tell me what was wrong or in the grocery store he was wailing in the cart because he wanted to sit in the front where Miles was sitting instead of sit in the main part of the cart. Um, no I'm not going to carry the baby so you can sit in the front Cody. I told him he could stay where he was or walk but he just kept whining and crying for at least half an hour. I am pretty good at ignoring that sort of thing by now but still, he's so frustrating when he's like that.
It's crazy how much extra time I have to do whatever when I'm at work because of the way my work is. I hate wasting time and honestly there's only so much time you can spend on facebook and randomly looking around the internet without getting bored so I need to find things to do with my extra time here. Like I'm going to work on Miles' one year photobook as soon as I pick a website to do it under. Even if I just did a month a day I would be done in no time as opposed to doing it at home when I don't have much free time at all anymore. I think I am going to bring in the kids' baby books soon too because I have some catching up to do in them before I forget stuff. Like about their birthdays and when Miles started doing certain things for the first time. I also want to record in Cody's book how amazing of a big brother he's been this year. I remember how when I first brought Miles home Cody whined when we suggested he touch the baby and it took him a little bit to even want to do that. Then that progressed into him helping me with diapers, wipes, feeding Miles bottles, burping him, fetching his burp cloth and that kind of thing. These days he does get a little annoyed sometimes when Miles gets into a toy he is playing with but mostly he crawls after him or peeks at him around corners to make him laugh and stuff like that. It's so adorable watching them together. I feel bad for putting them to bed because they're always having so much fun lol.
I have been doing a decent job with exercise/losing weight lately. I knew we'd be eating out all weekend so I made sure to make good choices at the restaurants. At Marineland I was surprised to see that they had a big fruit platter and a chicken salad for lunch instead of just being stuck with a burger or hot dog or something like that so I had both of those and they were delicious. I also had salad at the Rainforest cafe and although I had pancakes at Ihop, they were blueberry and the kids ate half of them. We didn't eat a whole lot of snacks besides that either. Oh and being sick Saturday evening has made me feel 5lbs lighter. Not that I recommend that for weight loss or anything lol. Plus we did a lot of walking like 15,000 steps or so each day.
I'm really loving my schedule at work where I work 2 nights, have a night off, then work 2 nights and have 2 nights off. Like right now this is only my 2nd night of work for the week but I'm thrilled because I know I don't work tomorrow night lol. Oh how I wish we could get by without me working but there's just no way :( I only managed to get 5 hours of sleep total today but I feel fine. Off of work in 3 hours. Hopefully the kids and I can go for a walk tomorrow. Today was cloudy and when it's like that I'm never sure if we should stray far from the house or not since I don't think my screamy baby would enjoy getting drenched lol. Speaking of my screamy baby, he said "hi" a few times to me randomly today. It was a total shock lol. I really hope he doesn't have a speech delay. It would be so interesting to see how a child normally develops language since Cody's speech delay made it so he didn't say much at all for a LONG time.
