Lazy days...

I feel like all I've been doing lately is laying around.  I can't help it--I just can't do the stuff I normally would be able to.  Different things have been priorities for me (some better, some worse)--doing school with Timothy is a priority, but I have to remember it too, which is a challenge sometimes.  Feeding the kids meals, always a priority.  But the substance of those meals more depends on what is available to be made in 10 minutes or less, hopefully not all that time having to stand up.  Today Timothy made the pb&j sandwiches (he repeatedly asked if he could PLEASE make them himself) and he did a great job.  All I had to do was cut up a pear and there we had it.

Training Lightning is up there on the priority list, but requires time that I feel well enough, so I haven't been doing it as much as I should.  But he's finally getting "sit" and he's been doing well with "leave it" and "watch".  It's exciting to see his improvement just by doing 5 minutes of training in a day.  

And trying to get enough nutrients for the baby is a real challenge when almost nothing sounds good most of the time.  Hopefully I won't eschew the high-protein foods for the whole pregnancy...but right now the things that are the easiest to eat are bread (thankfully I can eat whole-wheat without it making me sick) and crackers, etc.  Cheddar cheese also is sometimes an option, but strangely enough string cheese (which normally taste better & milder to me) just makes me wanna GAG thinking about it.

Well, all the snow from Saturday morning was gone by the afternoon, and even though it's still been colder than normal, it's starting to feel, smell, and look like spring here.  For that I'm thankful.  Maybe by the time it's getting really pretty and green outside I'll be feeling well enough to take advantage of it. :-)
