More fun

Today since I was off from work and Jason didn't have to go to the farm, we went out. Once he got up we headed to Loveland. Went down by the river. or stream as some might call it... we walked along the banks for awhile. April did pretty well. Was very unsure about the water and all the rocks. But she seemed ok mostly. She got soaked. She was the most happy standing on the bank throwing rocks into the water. We saw a mama duck with babies and a little water snake. It was fun. Then we went to Blue Chip Cookie and got some ice cream (gelato) so much better than ice cream. It was super good. We got a free cookie. Then we headed over to the park and let April play for awhile. She had a blast going up the rock wall and down the huge slide that's steep and almost straight down. She wouldn't really go on any of the others. Just the big tall one. She cried when we left lol.

I wish that I had taken my camera but I was afraid that it might get wet. Oh well. We'll be going back again sometime this summer lol. I love little day trips like this. Loveland is so cute. Next time we're doing the BBQ place... can't wait.

That's about it for now.

Doing good with updates...

Well, I think that things are going pretty good here. Been working lots, as has Jason also. He's been getting a good amount of hours in at the farm. I was able to get a few in also. Come July I have a few more days off, and we're hopefully going to go camping. Nothing to fancy, or extreme. Just a little get away for a night or so. I can't wait. Something that doesn't cost a whole lot of money and something that is so simple is usually the funnest....

April is still being goofy... she's learning more and more... now knows what trees and the sky is... knows some more numbers... and a few animals... can say do it again...where's it at.... I don't know... and a few more things. She's so funny sometimes. Still helps me unload the dishwasher. Now she tries to help me cook.

I'm almost to another goal with my weight loss. Less than two more pounds to go.... then I can get a hair cut. That's a reward that I set up for myself. I need one too.... badly. I'm excited. I haven't been this low in weight since high school.... yay. I only have 15 more to go once I meet my goal. The last ten though as usual will be the hardest..... I might not even go that low... I don't know yet.



Okay, so I started this post like two days ago and then wasn't able to finish it. Well, I made my summer goal challenge. I wanted to loose a certain amount by the first day of summer and I actually made it. I lost two more pounds. It feels great. Now I can go get my hair cut... I promised myself that I wasn't going to get it done until I lost the pounds.... bringing my total amount lost to 38 pounds... yay me. I have so much more energy it's insane. I move faster, I'm not as sluggish and unhappy anymore. I feel so happy.

I started applying to some places for part time. We'll see how that goes. If the wage is worth having to pay for day care meaning if all the money I bring in from another part time job is wasted all on daycare, then it's not worth it.

Last night we went down to Cincinnati. Walked along the river with Andy and Chris. Had fun driving there... three speed demons on the open highway... ha. It was fun. Had some laughs. I enjoyed being out. Tomorrow I'm off, and we're hopefully going to get out and go do something. It's going to be so hot we might go swimming some where Jason said. I can't wait.

So yeah I think that's about it. I've been trying to get to bed at a decent time lately. Makes me feel better in the am. So that's where I'm getting ready to head off too soon.

Later.

April is two

April is now two years old. We had her party on Saturday. A few people came. Those who said they would and didn't show up I'm pretty much done with. A few people had other plans that weren't breakable, which I understand. Others though... I've gotten to the point where I have to stop caring. I know that sounds bad, but I'm not like them. They have problems, as do we all but they're just plain stupid now. They act like everything has to do with them. Everything has to be about them... you should be at their beck and call... biggest thing that upsets me, is that we let them borrow stuff and they returned in a careless way, and they damaged it. I had to basically beg them to return it. The question was asked why can't we come get it... hm well let's see here... we didn't borrow it, we lent it out to them... so why should we have to go get it? Anyways, we've been done with them for a long time... I mean months.... we had been trying to keep things civil but not any more. We just don't care anymore.

Anyways, her party was fun. She had fun, and enjoyed opening her gifts. My sister came down and stayed the weekend. That really helped me out a lot. April got some really cool toys. We got her a bike that she's starting to get really curious about. She's trying to pedal but she can't quite figure it out yet... she's trying though.

Sunday we went out on our friends boat for the first time. My sister got to go out for the first time on a boat. I think we all had fun. Got to listen to a concert at Riverbend. It was nice. The water felt good. The current was super strong though so I couldn't really swim swim. It was still nice though.

Well that's it for now. I can't type too long right now, getting a headache... sucks.
