I was almost through with my post and Ashleigh got in my lap hit a button and it's gone. G.O.N.E. And SHE's the one crying. I didn't even yell at her.
Oh well, I'll try to capture the magic again later.
It was really good...sorry you've missed it!

TGIF
Boy, was today ever a busy day! I suppose most of it was because of a full page car ad I had to do this morning, but things got all backed up, stress levels started rising...you get the idea. 5:00 (or 5:10) couldn't come quick enough. Kinda makes me dread Monday more than usual. Don't get me wrong, I like my job, it's just that Mondays bring an end to my pretending I'm a stay-at-home-mom. *Sigh*
I'll have to work our EVERY DAY this next week. Kenneth picked up pizza for supper. It was thin crust from Dominoes so it was too bad calorie-wise, but it wasn't exactly grilled chicken and veggies! I probably used most (or all) of my flex points for the week! (Weight Watchers people will get that one.)
I've officially re-ordered my bridesmaid's dress, since the first one I ordered was HUGE. Now watch, this one will be too small. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
It's raining and icky here, so they postponed Relay for Life until tomorrow at noon. On one hand, it really sucks because so many people-like Rachel- worked so hard to get ready for it all tonight, then it all had to be packed up to be put up again tomorrow. On the other hand, I can take Ashleigh and spend most of the afternoon and have a great time. I didn't have any plans other than the usual cleaning, hanging out and trying to scrapbook, but now I'll be doing Relay. I'm sure Ashleigh will have a blast--she's all about the outdoors. Kenneth might come too, his plans for tomorrow fell through.
Hmmm.....Ashleigh is trying to take her shirt off. Think that's a hint she's ready for her bath? It's past her bathtime anyway, so I better go do that and TRY to get her to sleep at a decent time.

WooHoo
I lost 12 lbs. this month!!! Only .5 this week, but considering Easter and all, I think that was pretty darn good. I'll just focus on the 12....

Easter Pics
Well, I've got quite a few photos to share, so I won't put them all in my post...be sure to click on the links to look at them all!
Ashleigh had a big weekend! Not only did she get to hunt Easter eggs twice, she got to ride in a little go-kart, just her size!
This is a view I'm seeing more and more:
Quite the independent girl we've got! I can't imagine where she gets it from! : )
Be sure to check out the rest of my photos! You don't want to miss Ashleigh in her straw hat and my sad attempt at an Easter bunny cake!

I'm a Loser!
And I mean that in a good way. I lost another 4.5 lbs. this week!!! That makes 11.5 in 3 weeks. I love Weight Watchers.
Any big Easter plans? Ashleigh and I have to do a little wedding related shopping with Cory and Mama Saturday morning, then we're going on to my parent's house for an Easter dinner, and for Ashleigh to hunt some Easter eggs. And we'll have a little family gathering with Kenneth's folks Sunday. Don't know if it'll be right after church or later in the day, though...
Does anyone know why my daughter is so inexplicably terrified of hammering? Not the hammer, just the noise. A month or so ago she freaked out a little bit when I was setting some eyelets on a scrapbook page. Last night, Kenneth was hammering on something and she just totally freaked out, ran screaming and crying to our bedroom and hid behind our bed. (Yes, I went and comforted her, what kind of mommy do you think I am?) Very strange. She hates the vaccuum cleaner, too.
Things here are work are still really busy, but of the manageable sort now. Oh!! And I got a new computer monitor with external speakers that rock!!! Such small things make me happy. ; ) Really nice since I found an iTunes radio station I really like. One of those "Best of the 80's, 90's and today" type stations.
Here are a few photos from last Sunday afternoon. Probably the last time she'll be in long sleeves until this fall! (It's been near 90 all week and will be next week too!)
And if you've ever wondered how silly a 16 month old would look if she insisted on wearing her Daddy's 2X t-shirt, now you know:
Happy Easter!!! Eat some chocolate for me, because I think I'll stay away from it.

Bad Blogger
I know, I'm a bad blogger these days. I'm just too busy trying to be good at everything else, I suppose.
Good News: I lost 3 more pounds last week, making it a total of 7 pounds in 2 weeks. I have a lot more to go, but that's OK, I'm on the right track!
Otherwise, things are pretty dull. Work, go home, work some more, go to bed, get up late ; ), start all over again.
Kenneth has decided to go to a work conference sometime in May. I think he'll be gone for 2 nights. He'll have loads of fun, plus have lots of "networking opportunities" with some of the higher ups in the organization. That's a good thing.
Ashleigh is just growing up to fast! And her psychotic attachment to me seems to just grow by leaps and bounds. The screaming fits when I drop her off every morning are really wearing on me. It just breaks my heart! (Lord, help me remember this in the teen years when she screams at me to leave her alone, LOL) She did go to sleep just before 9pm last night, so MAYBE she's getting back on track with the time change situation.
As for me....I feel like I'm constantly struggling just to keep up. We're busy all the time at work (which is a good thing) and by the time I do what has to be done in the evenings at home, spend time with Ashleigh and Kenneth and then get her to bed, I'm just ready to fall out! (I do fit working out in almost every day though, YAY me!) To give you an example: Ashleigh was in our bed this morning. I do NOT remember her waking up crying and me going to her room and getting her. I asked Kenneth if he did, even though I knew he didn't. That's bad when you can do something like that in your sleep. Or, I guess it's just part of being a Mommy.
Oh, and I do plan on posting some more photos....someday!

Busy, busy, busy!
Same old story, too busy....
BUT, the weekend went well. I'll try to post some photos of the bridal later. Kenneth had a great trip, made it home safe & sound.
But for now, here's a photo of my sweet baby:
