Run Down of the day

Today Corban and I had a great day. We woke up when Jared was getting ready to go to school. I jumped out of bed (after praying with Jared) to throw together a lunch and prepare something for him to eat for breakfast. He was running a little late because we don't like getting up to the alarm lately. After Jared left I picked up and fed Corban while I ate breakfast- Corn flakes and Raisin Bran mixed together. He fell asleep while eating. I thought about walking and sent a text to Erin Seymour to see if she wanted to go to.
While waiting for a reply I decided to finish birth announcements for Corban. I realize he is now 2 months old and most people I would send these to already have seen a picture of him somehow, in addition to knowing when, weight, height of the birth- but I have already been working on these and figure it might still be fun to get in the mail.
Never did hear back from Erin. Guess she wasn't into walking today.
Two hours and 2 feeds later...
Now the two hours is not abnormal with scrap booking type stuff, but the 2 feeds within that amount of time should sound a little odd. Corban has this snacking thing going on. I am probably a bad mom for letting him do it. The problem is that I sometimes get so wrapped up in what I am doing- birth announcements for this time- that I just do whatever is easy and what will settle him. He kept falling asleep and I didn't bother to bother him.
So after this period of time I jumped in the shower to prepare myself for a meeting I was to be to by 11:00am. I figured it was okay that I was only giving myself an hour because Corban had just snacked for the past 2 hours. This is the problem with my mind- it always talks me into procrastinating and thinking that I am speedy at whatever it is I am doing. Turns out that I was quick with the shower and the getting my hair done. Where I was wrong is that Corban did still want more milk, so I called to let Sue Sadlier know that I would be 20 minutes late.
The Meeting:
Boy was I lucky to have chosen to have the meeting at her house! Her home it beautiful and full of decorating ideas. It really helped me to understand Sue a bit better because in our meeting I learned all about her amazing, million talents, her family, and my calling as Enrichment counselor. Not only that, but I left there with a new cook book, written by Sue, and a Hooter-Hider, made by Sue. This lady is inspiring to me! Hopefully not in a way that is envious, but in a way that gives me confidence that I can lots of different things in my life. She cooks, sews, arranges flowers, does photography, decorates, plans events, and many other things I have yet to learn about.
It turns out that she made one of the gifts that I got at my baby shower- a blanket, burp cloth and onsie sewn and stained blue by Sue!
I really did have a great 2 hours with her! I said as I was walking out, "Please invite me over again sometime." And I wasn't kidding. She is someone I really could enjoy just being around to receive inspiration every once in a while. I don't know that I would have much to contribute, but maybe I would figure that out over time. By the way, she is in her 60's but looks much younger and acts even younger (not in an immature way).
Next on the list:
Corban and I then did some mailing at the post office, which took much longer than one would think. But the check on my list (written in my mind) feels great!
Corban was definitely hungry again once we got home. So was I :) So we both took care of our bellies while I read emails. I actually took time to prepare some food for myself, having a healthy ham sandwich.
We spend some time looking at each other and talking. Okay, I did the talking but he was coo back and give me some great smiles! What an adorable boy Jared and I produced!
Jared comes home/3:30pm:
The strip down to garments as usual, but then a request to join him in the bedroom not as usual.
After personal time and a shower, Jared offered to let me go to the gym. Perfect timing to make it to a Body Works class. I ran into Lee, my personal trainer during my pregnancy. I will be getting back into that in this next week.
In the weights class one of the members asked me when I would be teaching again. She also told me that she would look at me as a model when she couldn't see the instructor because I have good form that she can trust. What a compliment. I really do appreciate knowing that the members like my teaching and look forward to when I will be coming back.
While I was gone, Jared was able to give a few ounces of pumped breast milk to Corban, which had me convinced that he wouldn't be needing anymore, so I pumped the milk that I had. Well, this wasn't the greatest idea because he was still hungry and I depleted his supply.
Book Club:
Covered this in my first posting. While I was there I committed to coming next month by being the Presenter. It is on "Uses of Adversity". I didn't agree to do it because I feel I have adversity, but on the contrary- I don't have adversities and I would like to know how I can learn from other's great adversity and maybe even help them at times.
Corban was awake the entire time. He was a bit fussy, but that is because he usually is at night. Of course he wanted some more food.
On the drive home I spoke with Meg Ryan and made plans to go walking tomorrow. I will be working out at the gym in the morning, but still want to go walking because I want to see Meg and catch up since her parents have been here for the past 2 weeks so I haven't seen much of her.
Night time at home:
I hate being home at night without Jared. Lately I have been scared- hearing noises and the such. Tonight wasn't so bad because I was preoccupied. Before I knew it, Jared was knocking on the door. He doesn't have a key to the front door...I need to take care of that for the sake of both of us.
Golden Spoon entered our evening, but again, it feels good to have some things checked off my list (written in my mind). Jared gave me an update on how we are doing for the year as far as sales and yearly projections. Things are looking good for the most part :)
Now it is bed time. Jared is watching a movie, "While You Were Sleeping", while I type away. Corban has just been fed. Jared is also burping him so I can finish up.
I best be going to bed. We still have prayers- on top of our pillows that we have sitting to the side of the bed so we will kneel to the side of the bed rather than pray in bed- and scripture reading to take care of.
