Things have to change

they really do.

Usually I am really good about getting us out of the house and to where we need to be but the past couple of weeks. I just can't do it. We haven't gotten out of the house before 10am all week and today was library day. Actually since it's the end of the month today was our tea party.It's something the librarians do for the kids, it's so much fun. They have a little tea set and saucers, with milk and sugar, sandwiches or some other kind of snack. It's just so cute I'll have to post some pictures next month. But back to what I was talking about, getting out of the house on time.

Story hour is at 10:30 and I would like to be in the car and on our way by 10. That way we have time to play and relax before story time. Today we didn't even get in the car until 10:15am and then I got to thinking that if we rush (a bad thing to do) and get there we'll have to leave early anyways since she has a Dr. appt. at 11:30 so why rush across town just to have to rush back? Turning the car around we came home, not going to the library at all. Back home I unloaded and threw another load of clothes in the washer and tried to figure out what we could do for the next 45 min before our appt. Let's just walk down, mommy needs a good hike anyways. So a harness on Halley, jackets on us (even though it was a nice 59 today) and walked down to the Dr. office. It's only a 15 minute walk but you know what happens when you walk with a toddler? A 15 min. walk turns into a 45 min. walk. But we did it and then after our appt we walked over to K's house and then I walked back to my house to get my car and then drove back over to get Savie. We only stayed a few minutes because K was living to and we needed to come home to have lunch, by the time I got back to her house it was almost 1:30p!!!!!!! At least we did something today and I got a good walk in, lol. Hopefully tomorrow will be better since we are going out to the horse's again.

what a day

Today was a great day. We were suppose to go hiking today with some of the other moms but it fell apart so Savie and I went by ourselves. It was a good day for it. I know the place, we tried it last year with a friend last year but we only made it about 5 minutes, lol.

It's at the pass here in town, which is nice since I brought our dog along with us. She had been left out for so long, not going on walks, being locked in the house because it's cold. So off we went on a good hike.

We had a late start, didn't leave the house until about 10:30 and still needed to gas up (not a good thing to drive to the top of a mountain when your 'check gauge' light is on, lol). Halley was every happy to be in the car to the point that she almost fell out, lol. We got to the spot and Savie kept asking me 'where are we going?" It was to cute, even though I had told her several times that we are going for a hike (we can't say walk around Halley, she knows the word and goes crazy). Out of the car we go, oops wait a minute forgot the camera, gotta take pictures of the sites and scenery. So we set out again, this time with camera in tow. Halley was her usual happy self when we are out, Savie was more interested in picking up sticks then looking around. We walked down the trail for about 30 min before we walked back to the car. Got some great shots of her climbing a mountain and sitting next to a small tree and then in a tunnel we found. I will have to post them later. I am to tired to go out to the car and get the camera.

I needed the walk. I need to lose the weight that I've gain over the past 2 years from doing nothing. Savie and I are going to be doing this more often, at least until it gets to cold for it. But I think that the worst of our winter is over since today was a nice 60 degree's with no wind. I'm hoping that maybe even try again this weekend. Let's hope.
