Ugh

Those three little letters sum up my past week. I blame it all on February. Why?

If you recall from last year, I hinted that Phil has always hated February. Well, it seems as if his Februarys are getting better and mine are getting worse. {Oh joy!}

Don't get me wrong, some good things have happened. All the things that have happened to me are not life-altering or anything like that either. It's just, when lots of little things pile up, they turn into big things. {We're talking Jillian meltdowns at therapy, the highlight of my day being a *ahem* monthly visit, learning that our debt isn't going anywhere anytime soon no matter how we adjust things, etc.} Now I'm to the point where I'm just exhausted and ready for March to get here.

I will share a few photos of Jillian that I took at the park on Monday. It was just the two of us there, {which I secretly loved}, but we had some fun! Well, we did for 40ish minutes. Then Jillian was getting a little too bold with the drop offs and slides so I decided we should head home.

{This face? Oh I see it about 20 times a day :)} 

{Climbing up the stairs} 

{Getting adjusted in the tube} 

{What a sweet smile :)} 

{Crawling up the slide} 

{Oh look! A bug to smoosh play with} 

{Peek-a-boo Jillian!} 

{I just love the look of pure joy on her face :)}

Tonight I am doing my first Couch-to-5K workout where I jog for 20 minutes straight. I know it's ok if I need to pause in between to rest or get some water. However, I'm still a little nervous/scared because it just seems so intimidating! Wish me luck :)

I have at least 2 posts in my head/my drafts. Hopefully I'll get some rest this weekend and can finish them up. Having drafts always bother me. I'd much rather have a post finished than to start one and stop in the middle.

Hope your February is going much more smoothly than my own!

  2. Her angry face is adorable! Love it. We had a rough week last week too. Hang in there! I am doing c25k too! I am only on week 4 and cannot imagine running for 20 minutes straight yet- these 5 minutes this week are already killing me!

      I'm so sorry you're not having such a great time yourself. Hope it gets better soon!
      It's intimidating, but you can do it! Trust me when I say that if I can, anyone can :) Good luck with your c25k!

But I Know What It Feels Like

This post is going to be awfully vulnerable and hard for me, but I really want to finally say it out loud. I got permission for my daughter ...
