Lazy Days

This is what I've done today:
I watched The View, The Talk, Ellen, and Oprah-which of course led to tears.
No joke. Not every moment of every show, but that is a whole lot of daytime tv.
And let me just say this. This half-sister of Oprah's, she is a good woman. She is deserving of having a surprise billionairess sister, yes?
I did take care of my child amidst all the tv. Although minus the feedings and diaper changes, this girl basically takes care of herself.
I texted my sister about NeNe and how annoyed we were with her on Real Housewives of Atlanta last night.
We ran to McDonald's to return our redbox dvd.
We (as in Amelia and I) shared a vanilla cone.
We went to the library and Amelia sat in on a lovely mother's story-time with her children. Ha ha.
We went out on the swing for 4 minutes until I decided it was just a little too cold.
And now we are counting down the minutes for the Bachelor to start.
And even more, we are counting down the minutes until Juan walks in the door.

Lazy days to me just lead to more lazy. You know. And I get needy. Last week I had a breakdown because Juan did not text me the second he got out of work. That irks my pride, I have too much pride to be needy. Or I guess not.

So here's to tomorrow. It will be a productive day. Bathroom, dust, storage room, exercise, read scriptures. Those are days that really make me happy.

And for a pick me up, I always can play crawl tag or dance to our song with this girl:

Her hair is looking SO long in these.

I need to start doing something with it.

I tried a ponytail. Juan didn't love it. And can you tell she does not smile for pictures anymore?  That is so for 8 month olds.

I love lazy days! I was so excited to move back into our own place so his sister wouldn't see my laziness so I wouldn't feel guilty. Lol. And at least you still got out of the house! That's progress! Lol. I can't believe how long her hair is! Poor Lexi still has a bald spot in the back and no hair on the sides. I wonder if it'll ever grow. Haha

I love it! I will one of those types of days is nice every once in a way but too many just feel gross for what I know I can be doing. After taking addison to the doctor we came home, ate, I put addison down for a nap and took one too! I actually got to watch Oprah today, it was touching.

Oh my gosh. I was just thinking about how lazy my day has been before I looked on your blog. I woke up and went to the gym which of course made me feel great and like I deserved to be lazy for awhile... but lasted all.day.long. Now it's midnight. I love love love lazy days and sometimes they just make me feel like a bum. BTW I'm having the same issue with Charlotte's hair.. long enough that I have to do something with it... but what to do..?

I totally get it. I have a lot of lazy days... and it always makes me feel like I have nothing to offer in life. haha. Millie is just as cute as ever... and you know what? When I first looked at those pictures I saw you all over her. She really is looking like you these days, huh? So sweet!

Amelia is way too mature to smile for the camera anymore. You at least got out of the house. Lately with Sam taking the car and with me cooking meals for often, I hardly ever get out of the house Mon-Thurs. I am still so mad at Nene when I think about her.

Totally understand that being lazy leads to lazy rest of the day...happens to me too, and it can be so frustrating--that's why I try to get up and get all that needs to be done before taking a break....Then it's not lazy, it's a refresh! Good luck!
