It's been a minute since I have written anything down, so I figured I would give it a go.
For a while I wasn't sure what to blog about. I felt like I would be over-sharing what ever I put on. To tell you the truth, I am not sure why. If I do, then I do. Whateva.
Let's start with a talk about my new video game (and technically only video game) EA Sports Active 2. I am really excited about it even though I have barely used it this week. That's besides the point. There are sensors I wear on both arms and one on my right leg. It has workout programs to follow and such. It's a pretty cool game, really. It had helped me on feeling motivated. Now, I knew I was going to be bad this week. Instead of using my time that I had designated for working out on Tuesday and Thursday, I decided to visit it a friend on one day, and work on the other. It is what is it. I have to start laying off of myself. The last workout I did, which I believe may have been either Monday or Wednesday literally kicked my butt. I am still recovering from that. A couple of days ago I noticed my knee really hurting too, so that is another reason I didn't jump hard core into working out this week. I am not sure what my deal is, but since Gavin's arrival I have been injured so easily. First there was my back, now my knee. Ugh! I just need to take everything slowly, but my mind is so motivated it's like "GO GO GO!"
I have been so frustrated with myself lately. Yesterday when I went to pump at work I realized I forgot half of it at home. I got so upset because I had to drive home and get it. UGH! THEN, today I had realized I left both pieces at home! I was so mad at myself. How long have I been pumping for crying out loud?! Gee, only every 3 or 4 hours for the last 7 months of my life! How could I possibly forget parts to my pump as frequently as I do?!
I have been pretty proud of the fact that even though Gavin didn't catch on well to nursing that he is still able to get breast milk. I never even imagined I would be pumping for as long as I have been, but I am glad I stuck with it. However, the time has come where it is officially driving my up the wall to do, so I am ready to wean myself. I have a lot of frozen milk, so that will last for a little while but after that I plan to move Gavin to formula. I am happy to have finally made that decision because it has definitely been a hard one for me.
The last few nights Gavin has been waking up randomly through the night. A couple of nights ago I had to go in and rock him :( He usually is able to put himself back to sleep, but he was just screaming so sadly.. it sounded like he had awoken from a scary, horrible dream. It seriously almost made me tear up, that is how sad it sounded. I realized today he was getting another tooth in, so that has to be it. I cannot believe my little man is has two teeth now. The next thing I know I am not going to be "Cool Mom" anymore and he'll be embarrassed to be around me. Okay, okay. I have a little while on that I guess. Still!
I am going to call it a night. I feel better now that I just took some time to write on here. Nice.

New Bloggage Time
Does anyone else kind of want to see 127 Hours? I kind of do. It's partly because it seems like an interesting story and partly because James Franco is delicious. Yum.
A man came by from Hanson's Windows to measure all of the windows. It only took like 7 minutes, but I found it kind of exciting. It is a large purchase like previously mentioned, so I should probably be excited about it. I mean, a lot of the windows in this house literally can not be opened because they've been caulked shut. The window salesman told us there were scheduling installations 6 to 8 weeks out, the measurement guy said 4 to 5 weeks. The sooner, the better. Due to the age of the windows and the house they will have to take special precautions because of assumed lead paint exposure, so I hope to have Gavin out of the house during installation.
Right now, the hubby and I are sitting on the couch watching the end half of The Biggest Loser. Usually I pay attention a bit more, but this season I haven't been consistent watching. Now I am a bit confused about who is coming back and why. I get that there are some "unknown" trainers, but really I ask: What's the point? And, why do you so sporadically bring them into the show? Better yet, why do I care? Bob and Jillian are awesome in their own right, why mess with that? I don't really like the fact that I am sitting here watching this and not doing a work out myself, but I did do something to my back and the last few days it has been really bothering me. Today it was feeling better but now that the day is coming to an end it is getting angry :(
I have realized that I do make quite a bit of excuses in my mind for things. "I won't work out today, I have a busy week ahead" or "I'll take a nap when Gavin does then I'll work out" (then I don't do either or Gavin doesn't take a nap). Or "Gavin is cranky today, so tomorrow I will do it". The point is is that work will always be unstable (I just need to start saying that out loud), Gavin will probably be more cranky than not (teething and all), and I will always be tired. I need to grasp onto my free time and use it wisely. There is always going to be something going on with Gavin in every stage of his life so I can't be using him as an excuse to not do certain things (mainly working out). I'm sure he would want his mommy to be happy and feel good about herself. I really do need to become better organized with life in general. I have taken a few steps to help with that. For instance I got myself a new day planner and am making a habit of looking at it frequently to keep myself in the know of events. (Of course that doesn't always work, because Matt had to remind me of the guy coming to measure for windows today.) I also got a calendar to put in our office for Matt to better help him with the days I am working (since I am picking up a bunch at work). I do feel like my efforts to quit procrastinating so much are actually working. I have to accept that I am forgetful by nature so I need to better prepare for that. I am trying to write myself little notes as reminders. In all honestly though, some times I forget to do that ;).
I will end on this note: Mmmm.. James Franco. Tasty.
