I see that I haven't blogged since January 1. Good grief. It's been a busy six weeks and our computer is in the coldest room of our house, so I haven't been motivated to blog. Once I get the kid in bed and the house picked up, I crash. Our internet has been down for a week too, and the call queue for Qwest has been really long, so right now I am using someone on my street's wireless connection. Shame on them for not having a firewall.
What's new? Hmmm... Ryan and I had a play date with Rachel and the boys in January and that was fun, but Ryan did not want to share his GeoTrax trains so he was being naughty, and he still talks about Anthony whacking Chase with a plastic golf club. Diane and I are taking yoga on Monday nights, which I am really starting to love. We are looking for a smaller class though, there are so many people in my class that the teacher can't see if we are doing it right or not, and one week a Diane killed a cockroach before class started. Our teacher by the way, is Johnny Gosch's mom Noreen. Interesting.
I've been doing pretty well on my resolutions except I haven't ellipticalled in two weeks because Ryan is not falling asleep at night until like 10:30. He insists he is too big and his crib is too small. I am 2nd on my Lighten Up Iowa team for activity, but near the bottom of the heap for weight loss, although I can wear a smaller size. Odd.
I have also been home 3 times since I blogged. Once to see Grandpa for the last time, which I am glad I got to do, once for the funeral (he died 45 minutes after we got back to Des Moines), and once for my Aunt Merry's birthday party, where Ryan ran around like a crazy man for 2 hours and also stomped on his cousin's head. AAAAAH!
Other than that, I have been working like crazy at work, coloring with Ryan, and playing GeoTrax with Ryan. Those are his two favorite activities and his third is yammering all the time! Yesterday I took a few hours off and did a lot of shopping, and today I managed to clean the bathroom, finish Ryan's new curtains, and get rid of a lot of clothes in the attic. I am giving 6 Rubbermaids of clothes to Goodwill. I have had most of them since college and the first few years at DNR. I have been saving them for when I am that small again, but they are so out of style there's no point now!
The only other excitment around here is that Ryan has seen my grandpa at our house 3 times since he died. I totally believe him. At first it creeped me out, but now I just find it comforting. Grandpa even managed to find a lost toy for us, and put it in the middle of the room for us to find. I will have to tell you the whole story later. It's 5:45 pm now, and Ryan has been asleep for 3 hours. If I don't get him up now, he'll never sleep tonight.
