How Do You Relax?

If only we had a fireplace for Ty to lay his bear rug next to!
He sure looks comfortable living the luxurious life!

Ty had his first head cold last week, paired with some bowel blockage. After a few days of extra naps and some prune juice, I finally have my cheerful baby back!

I'm trying to savor every day of this month because I have to go back to work in August. Such a bummer. At least it's only part time. But in order to switch to part time, I had to offer to teach English instead of special ed. I don't mind the switch, except that now I have to take the state board for English teachers on Saturday. Not that it's as difficult as medical boards, but I'm still a bit nervous. Hopefully I'll do just fine!

Speaking of relaxing, here are a few things I've been doing for fun. I finished Shopaholic (thanks Maren) last night and loved it! It's a light, fun read. I can't wait to start the next one in the series. I am also taking two online classes this summer. I don't know what it is about school, but I still enjoy playing the role of student. (Besides, I get tuition reimbursement from work.) I'm hoping to finish my first apron this week - I'm behind the other apronista's in the ward. But most of all I love to hang with Ty. I'm hooked on the Little Einstein series on Disney. Even if he dozes off, I will finish the episode.

My husband accuses me of no really knowing how to relax. Maybe he has a point! Wishing you all a relaxing week...

I want to see the apron! Oh, and dark karo syrup in the bottle works wonders if he refuses prune juice.

That is soooo funny. i thought i was the only one. Those episodes are soo cute and creative. I get those songs stuck in my head all the time. It's funny when i catch Heath singing the tune. It cracks me up how much our lives become our children's.

If it's relaxing for you then it's relaxing!! I definitely read for relaxation...and just when I think I've had about as much of Baby Einstein as I can take, a new one comes out with a cute little song that gets stuck in my head (check out the World Animals one "I said hey, a-little turtle why don't you come and swim with me." If you don't have it I have a copy!). And good for you for continuing classes! I think it's great that you are doing so much, yet focusing so much on Ty and motherhood. You are awesome!

Oh my gosh! I was just telling some friends how I had left a message for an old friend, but she never replied! I was asking them if it was dumb to post a comment again! I'm glad you found us! I love looking at your blog. Ty is so cute, makes me want a baby!
