My Week In Numbers

Posted on March 14, 2011 Written by Tonya

Monday, March 7 – Sunday, March 13:

0 Diet Cokes drank — it’s been 34 days since my last one!

0 episodes of Oprah I watched — she was on hiatus this week.

Countless = the number of Thomas & Friends, Yo Gabba Gabba and Caillou episodes I sang and dance through, pretended not to be watching and cursed under my breath.

1 overpriced trip to the gas station.

1 lively music class attended.

1 birthday celebrated — Aunt Leah turned 27 on Monday!

Countless = the number of kisses given.

2 carousels ridden.

2 lunches with friends — one WAY more enjoyable than the other because it was kid free.

2 unloaded dishwashers.

2 legs shaved (!)

Countless = the number of toys I picked up.

2 pieces of cold pizza devoured.

3 trips to the park.

4 turkey sandwiches consumed.

Countless = the number of times the Kindermusik song Bow Wow Wow was requested.

5 loads of laundry completed.

6 naps enjoyed — Lucas’, not mine.

6 items crossed off my list of 19 “To Do’s”.

Countless = the number of diapers I changed.

7 cups of green tea consumed.

7 blog posts written — including this one.

9 thoughts involving potty training, nursery school and toddler beds and what I should be doing about them.

Countless = the number of times I wiped a nose.

21.10 miles walked.

28 minutes spent on hold with Tucson Water Company trying to change billing address.

47+/- temper tantrums survived — barely.

291 tweets tweeted — I have an addiction, okay?

Countless = the number of times I realized how blessed I am.

This post was inspired by K of That’s Why You Love Me’s post, Fitness Friday.

For The Love Of Elmo

Posted on February 3, 2011 Written by Tonya

Today is a special day.

It’s Elmo Monster’s birthday!

Why I know this, is somewhat disturbing to me, but I guess it comes with the territory when you’re a mom. I’m blaming Twitter.

We are big Elmo fans in our home.

Well, one of us is.

With all of the Elmo merchandise we have purchased in the last year, I would hope that the adorable furry red monster is having a pretty terrific day. Assuming he gets royalties. As I type this, a certain little someone is enjoying Elmo’s World Happy Holidays for the 36th time. Yeah, I know it’s February 3, I just can’t bring myself to delete it.

Lucas has even dressed for the occasion.

Happy Birthday, Elmo! Thank you for making this little boy very happy.
