That is the time Diego has been waking up for the past two mornings. Not a good thing. We try to ignore him but eventually he will start yelling “mamapapa!” or “papamama!” I guess one of us will eventually get up and get him. I bring him to bed with us and he will stay still for about 30 minutes. Then playtime starts. He goes to sleep at 8 PM the night before. I hope this is temporary. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Chai Type Of Day…
As I was going home, I stopped by Starbucks to get a Chai Latte. There was a gentleman there ordering a Venti Chai Latte. Then it was my turn, I ordered a Tall Chai Latte with soy milk. As I was ordering, another gentleman enter the shop. He ordered a Grande Chai Latte. It must’ve been a Chai type of afternoon. 😆
Sports Fan Vent…
Grrrr!! So the Cubs lost today (and yesterday and probably tomorrow) but that is not going to make me stop being a Cubs fan, ever. I hate when people say what losers they are and it is just a horrible thing to be a Cubs fan. But isn’t that what a fan is? You take the best and the worst of the team you root for. No matter what you just don’t jump to another team because that team have a winning record. I know lots of people like this and it annoys me to no end. I don’t mind if people talk smack, that’s part of the game (I give it too) but DO NOT tell me that I am a loser too because I am a Cub fan.
Cubs 4 Ever!
First Movie Experience…
We ended up in Milwaukee for Easter. We went to breakfast. Diego saw the Easter Bunny there. Not a very impressive EB but at least he was not frightened.
After breakfast, we (the group) decided to go to the movies to see the Meet the Robinsons movie. It was Diego’s first movie at the movie theater. I was a little apprehensive about taking him because well you know, little kids and movies usually don’t mix. It was the first show, it was a kid’s movie and there wasn’t that many people in the theater. So far so good. Diego hadn’t taken a nap yet so we thought that perhaps he might sleep through it.
With Diego situated on my lap, the lights dim and the previews started. Lots of new kid movies coming up (Underdog, Shrek the Third, Ratatouille, & Nancy Drew). Then the light go out and a Mickey Mouse cartoon starts. MM is so cute! Then cue the movie. It was great. Diego was so interested in it he must’ve forgotten to take the nap I was hoping for. He switched laps between Eric and I a few times but other than that, he seemed to enjoy it. Every time someone would get into a car, he would wave and say “bye!”
The only drama during the movie was that he over peed his diaper. He soaked himself and me. Eric ran out to get his dry clothes. So during the movie, we had to get Diego redressed. Diego did not even complained. 🙂
Overall, the movie experience was an A plus. Great job Diego!!!
A Very Good Friday…
I am still tired from yesterday. We (well, not so much me but I helped when I could) started cooking since 7 am and did not stop until 2 pm. The menu included Lima Bean Soup, Shrimp Cocktail, and Stuffed Peppers with rice. It was a lot of food. The good think almost everyone made it: my parents, my ILs, my aunt & family, oldest brother and youngest nephew, and surprise guests: Eric’s grandparents. Everyone eat a little of everything. We had a little bit of leftovers that we ate today. We still have Lima Bean Soup and some stuffed peppers left but everything else is gone. That is always a good thing.
Diego on the other hand came out ahead. He got some Little People presents. He got the Little People™ Cars, Trucks, Planes, and Trains book, Little People Books and a Little People The Big Parade Interactive Sound Book. And he also got some $$$. Lucky kid! =)
I am not sure if we are still going to Milwaukee tomorrow. It is going to hit 40 degrees tomorrow but up there it is only going to hit 38. Still cold. Brrrr! Whatever ever Eric says it will be fine with me.
Easter Weekend…
Starts now! Eric and I are taking Good Friday off. We are going to cook. Well, I know Eric is going to cook. =) Invited the entire family to come over tomorrow. Let’s see who will make it.
I heard that my BIL bought an Easter basket for Diego. Really sweet since we didn’t even get him anything. We might go to Milwaukee on Sunday for Easter. Maybe there will be an Easter egg hunt. Let’s hope!
Did Not Publish Post…
I know this is my blog and I can write anything I want on it but my post I was writing was SO boring that I just deleted it. I figured why even post something if I even deemed it boring. *sigh*
Bed…
This is what Diego asked me after I read him a book today. He pointed to his crib, said “Bed” and then said “bye-bye!” This is from a kid who does not look forward to bed on most days. Just getting him into his room can be a challenge. 🙂
I gave him a kiss, placed him in his crib and said good night. That was it! It wasn’t even 7:30 pm. Boy, I just hope tomorrow it will be the same. Sure, keep dreaming Angie. 😛
Added Another Run…
Just signed up for the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge. It a 3.5 mile race that takes place on the lake front. The first time I ran it was in 2002 and I ran it in 52:44. In 2003 I did it in 41:50. Not sure where I was in ’04, but I was pregnant in ’05 and just plain lazy in ’06. My goal is to run it in less than 40 minutes.
It will happen on May 24, 2007 at 7:10 pm. I am so excited!!!
Next Running Goal…
I have inspired myself. I never thought I could run more that a 5K. I ran the 8K, two more miles than I ever have ran before. Sure I was tired but I did it.
So I have thought about it and decided that my next goal is to run a 10K, that’s 6.2 miles. So I decided to run at the Fleet Feet Sports Womens 5K, 10K and Festival. I have already signed up, so there is no turning back. I have 4 months to get ready. I nervous about it but I can do it. =)
Plus my running buddy should be healed and ready to run. Manda, be there or be square! =)
see angie run
