Where is Spring?

I have not been very good in the last couple of weeks updating my blog. I guess because I feel like there isn't really anything interesting happening in my life, which I guess you can look at as a good thing.

OK. I know we are Minnesotans and are never happy with our weather... but seriously. After the winter we had, and the lack of spring... this is getting rediculous. Last night Dan and I went on a walk with Brynn and the dogs, and I had Brynn in fleece pjs, a blanket, and a hat. May 25. That is just pathetic. Yes, the sun is out today which is nice, but it is cold. I have all of these cute summer outfits for Brynn she isn't going to be able to wear before she outgrowns them!

This last weekend I survived with just me and no Dan. It was me taking care of the dogs and Brynn. I feel like it's a bigger deal being in a townhome since I can't just let the dogs out the door. I have to put them on their leashes and walk them outside so being here alone with them in Brynn all weekend gives me no break.

Friday night I ended up just watching a movie off Netflix. I knew Saturday was going to be a busy day. Saturday we had Shannon's wedding shower and her Bachelorette Party. Brynn was super cranky during her shower because it was her nap time, but we survived. My mom watched Brynn during Shannon's Bachelorette Party. I get so nervous since she wont take a bottle! Plus I just felt like sitting on my couch and cuddling with her that night. Needless to say, as Shannon's Matron of Honor, I sucked it up and headed off to Chatterbox Pub. I decorated before the whole group came. I think it turned out pretty well. We had drinks, dinner, opened gifts, and then headed off to Billy's. I stayed out until about 10:30 and then headed to my mom's to get Brynn. She was so cranky, I felt bad. I think she is just getting used to her bedtime routine and her own bed. And of course needing her momma :) It felt good to get out for a while, but it's hard because I just wish I could completely relax when being away from her. I am sure it will be a while before that happens.

Sunday morning Brynn let me sleep until 7:40am... better than the typical 6 or 6:30 afte a late night! We just hung around home Sunday and waited for Dan to get home.

Monday and Tuesday of this week were my cleaning days. Got the laundry done and all of that fun stuff. However, today it looks like the house hasn't been cleaned all week. I don't get how that happens.

So I am beginning the 17 Day Diet tomorrow. My fridge is stocked full of fruit, veggies, eggs, and chicken. If you watch Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz, they featured this diet on there. I have never been a dieter, or needed to, but I really want this last 20-25 pounds of baby weight off. I really like the way this diet is layed out, because you gradually get to add stuff into your diet and eat things you like. I really am only going to follow it strictly until I get to my goal weight. Then I should be fine managing it. We will see how it goes. I really, really want to stick to it since people get such good results. I have nothing to lose I guess!

I also just made an appointment to begin physical therapy. I had such bad pelvic pain when I was pregnant with Brynn. SO BAD. I couldn't wait to not be pregnant for it to go away. Well...I am still dealing with it. I wanted to play soccer SO BAD this summer, but I can't even run it hurts so bad. My first appointment is June 13th. I wish I could get in sooner, but that is a start. I really hope it helps because I really miss soccer, and believe it or not, running.

No big plans for Memorial Weekend. We will be in town, and go figure, it is supposed to rain. Hopefully we figure out something fun to do. We may go hiking or try geocaching. I am really glad Dan has an extra day off. Hope everyone has a safe holiday weekend!
