A Quick Update

I'm hoping to squeeze a quick update in before Jeremiah wakes up from his nap and I have to run to my mom's office.

My two week break from babysitting is coming to an end. I start up again next Tuesday for a week, then I have another two week break! I wonder how Jeremiah will take to seeing Sydney again? I have certainly enjoyed having my days of freedom back with my son, and going to my mom's office a few days a week.

On Saturday is Lindsey's first bridal shower! I'm very excited about it, seeing all of our family and celebrating my brother's upcoming wedding, and especially since I can start unloading some of the many presents that I have been storing for the past few months. Then on Monday, Jenni will be in town! I have missed my wonderful friend for the past 15 months since I saw her last (when Jeremiah was just a few weeks old). I'm happy that she's loving her life in Idaho with her amazing husband (who won't be joining her), but I miss her. We're going to take Jeremiah to the zoo with her friend and friend's children, then Jen will come back to m y house and spend the night =) Tuesday's activities are kind of up in the air, but seeing as I'm her source of transportation, I have her at least until Rayna comes to pick up Sydney at 3:30. Jenni was one of my most treasured APU friends, and a roommate for first semester of our senior year (until she graduated early).

I have been having LOTS of fun with my 101 list! I purchased my DVD player, finished reading the "Jon and Kate" book, well into "Bringing Up Boys," called my grandparents, bought yeast to start to make bread, and started taking Jeremiah on our nightly walks. I have been doing very well with my daily tasks- vitamins and reading to Jeremiah, but have determined for the daily and weekly goals that there HAS to be some room for error. It is unrealistic to think that I didn't accomplish my goal because I forgot to take vitamins one day (such as yesterday) or didn't get to read to Jeremiah one day. For the daily and weekly goals (that are to occur for the entire 1001 day period, not for a short period of time) that a 95% achievement goal is a good goal to strive for. That equals for roughly 50 days of "error" and still have quite a nice pass rate. For the goal of reading to Jeremiah, I have also kind of bent the rules to where if I wasn't able to read to him one day, I have the option of reading to him twice the following day for it to count.

Well i can hear Jeremiah now, so I better go! Thanks for reading and show some love if you can!
