Feel the music

I thought I'd write a blog post while I've got a minute.  Channing is currently waking up from a nap and Justin doesn't get home from work for another 30 minutes.  I've got pizza dough rising and no good shows to watch on hulu, so I guess it's bloggin time!

I accepted a PRN night shift RN job at Mountain View Hospital in Labor and Delivery.  Earlier today I had to get a babysitter for Channing so I could fill out paper work, get a drug test, and a TB test.  Channing would not let go of me when it was time for me to leave him with the babysitter.  He cried and cried.  Sometimes he's much more grumpy when I have to leave him, but most of the time he's okay.  Just breaks my heart.

But luckily I spend most of my time at home so he gets lots of mommy time.  Here's picture from earlier this week when he jumped on my back and started pulling my ponytail.  I think he thought he was riding a horse....


Now I would like to talk about Zumba.  After getting a gym membership I started checking out some of the classes.  I've done kick and core, stroller bootcamp, and Zumba.  I figured Zumba would be pretty easy.  I honestly thought I wouldn't break a sweat.  Boy was I wrong.  After about 10 minutes I was dripping in sweat.

I go to zumba in the evening after Channing is in bed.  It's really fun and you get a work out without even realizing it.  I think my dance moves have gone from like a 1 to a 5 since I started zumba (on a 0-10 scale).  So yeah, I'm pretty great.  Just kidding.  I look ridiculous.  There must be something in my DNA that just means I can't dance.  I attempt it, but it doesn't look very nice.  The class is usually about 90% Latina ladies.  And there must be something in their DNA that makes them good at dancing.  There's a lot of salsa moves in Zumba so I'm just the white girl that attempts to dance.  But I don't care what I look like.  Because it's fun!  Some of those dance moves are hilarious!  There's one I call the gasser swooshing move.  It kinda looks like your fanning a gasser from your behind.  I must be doing in wrong....  Lol.  
Doesn't matter if your big or small, everyone shakes it in Zumba!

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin!  I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for.  Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it?  Yes, I am lucky.  Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn.  Mmmmm.  I love the new things Channing learns everyday.  The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try.   Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic.  It was fun.  But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day.  Oh well.  At least half the day was awesome!  Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere.  And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho.  On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present.  We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies.  And we wrote letter's to Santa.  We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ.  For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger.  Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger.  Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in.  It was a great visual for them.  (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's.   Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa.   These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
