Hold it right there!

Best laid plans...

So I've worked out a total of twice since I posted my challenge to myself and others.  Why? Well two out of the three of us are sick at the moment.  My baby girl is presently asleep propped up against my chest (shes a tummy sleeper so that doesn't work out so well with her laying on her belly on her bed and being able to breathe), and my husband is presently at work probably taking copious amounts of Dayquil and praying that the work day would hurry up and be over with so he can come home.  And I'm guessing he's staying home with Mari tonight because I teach Bible class.

THis means I'm not getting laundry done, dishes, and such while Mari is asleep which is what I normally do.  I'm also not able to lay her down and get some night time chores done for the first couple of hours while she sleeps.  I'm ever so thankful for Winnie the Pooh right now because watching it keeps her happy. I might be going against what the pediatric society tells me I shouldn't do, which is let her watch TV like this, but she doesn't want to play, shes stuffy and miserable, and doesn't want me to leave her side for more than about 5 minutes. We're watching movies. Period. I did get a load run of darks this morning and after she wakes up she'll help me unload the dishwasher and I'll load it back up again, but the floors being swept will have to wait, the dust will have to pile up, and the tub wont get scrubbed today.  That's alright because I'm enjoying the snuggles which are so rare these days, even if it sounds like the snuggles are coming from a baby elephant :)  

So we will continue to eat healthy for now, though I got myself a bag of M&Ms last night at Walmart because I wanted chocolate and it was a long day of fighting a toddler who didn't want her nose wiped. I'm going to call that my splurge for the week.  I'm making roasted chicken with carrots for dinner tonight, I'll make a can of green beans to go with it and some rice or rolls, I haven't decided which carb to go with yet. Probably rice because it's easier.

Thats my update thus far. We'll see what Saturday brings on the scale, right? :)
