My life in Bullets THIS week:

( yes I liked doing this so much a few weeks ago I am doing it again! Besides its the only way i can do a blog update and still get to bed before midnight!)

• Lexi's appt was over a week ago and I STILL have not done an update! Sorry...I think about it everyday but sadly dont have the time to write it all out. ( ok truth be known...if I spent less time on FB I probably would have the time..sigh.) 
• I have a handful of thank you notes and a birthday card for my sister that have literally been sitting next to my computer ( cause thats the only place I ever sit down) for over 3 weeks!! Yes--3 weeks! I am so ashamed...
• I got deathly ill this week and had to put everything on hold...I was so sick my teeth ached. I laid in bed feeling delirious from fever and  could not stop thinking about the dishes in the sink and the clothes piling up on the floor. Even when mom is sick...she still worries about all there is to get done!
• I am pretty certain that in the past two weeks our 3 year old has gone up a level in hyper. He no longer takes naps, he NEVER stops talking and I am lucky if he talks instead of yells, yelps, jumps, karate chops or does wrestling moves. If we didnt do much sugar, I wonder what the heck he was eating that had done this to my child. What I am afraid of is that this is just what 3 looks like. Tonight I said to Shea, " how much longer will he be 3?" 
• I read an entire Anita Shrieve novel while I was sick..yes thats one novel in about 60 hours...I am a reading freak when I have the time to do so!
•  Speaking of---I started a new book called " a thousand Sisters" last night. It is a book on the women of the Congo...and it is heartbreaking. You would think heavy reading like that would not be fun--but I couldn't put it down last night. POWERFUL!
• I have been up at night lately thinking about starting a new blog...yes I know I am horrible about keeping this one up, but its really because I have such a struggle in wanting to do updates on the kids and wanting to just WRITE! So instead..I do nothing. LAME!! SO I am contemplating....
• Tonight I got angry over the fact that I never have the option of just going to bed at night...I always have to pump before bed to ensure that Lexi can eat the next day... and it is getting so exahausting.  The few days I was sick about killed me trying to keep up...and in the end my supply has been affected...really, this is so exhausting.
• I made homemade Cesar salad last night for dinner and it was YUMMY!! Even made homemade croutons--Go me!! Shea loved it, Austin wouldn't touch it and I just rejoiced in how easy AND good it was! So thankful for new " whole" foods recipes that are broadening my menu and my thinking of food and calories. 
• We still are speaking in Nacho Libre lines around the house. This week Austin began saying things like " those are the lords chip!"  and " are you gonna fight me or what?"  Today he covered his upper lip in chocolate ( from his 5 chocolate covered pretzels I allowed him to get at the bins at sprouts--such a spoiler I am ! HA!) and said he was Nacho!! He wanted to keep it on until Shea got home to show him...funny, funny kid! 
• Lexi will be 5 months in a few short days and I feel I cant keep up with how fast the months are passing us by. Tonight as I folded a pile of pink, purple and ruffles..I realized that she will soon start signing, sitting up, crawling and eating real food.....its going TOO fast!!
• I am finishing this up now so I can get back to my book...really, I am such a reading junky!!
