Lack of Accomplishments

Today I am feeling very unproductive.

Well, not just today. This entire week seems to have just been sliding by, with me just barely getting by. 

I haven't worked out in nearly two weeks. Shannon and I went running last Saturday, and then today we ran maybe a mile and then decided to walk and talk the rest of the way. This is in light of my goal to run a 10k in May. Oy!

I had the idea to cut my hair a couple of weeks ago, maybe even a month ago, and guess what? That hasn't happened either. Yeah, I really would love to have a fresh haircut for Spring, but somehow I just haven't made it, even though it takes probably no more than an hour to get it. Maybe this week?

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to do sleep training with Levi (Yes, I am one of those parents that has been getting up with him when he wakes up, even though he is 16 months old.) Yes, I am behind the ball, but I did not feel the need to train him, but recently I felt he was ready. So we started. We started with no feeding if he woke up before every four hours. However, I ran into our neighbor the other day (with Levi), and he was like "is that the baby that cries at night?!" So now, I feel really guilty having him soothe himself to sleep, because my poor neighbor is probably ready to throw a rock at us... ah, just one more reason we need a house. SOON.

Well, that being said, I have high ambitions for myself in the coming weeks.

I plan on getting a hair cut.

 Running three times a week (I bought some Vibrams, and am planning on using them once they come in!)

And also going back to doing p90x 5-6 days a week.

Also, getting my son to sleep through the night, selling my house, keeping up with my grading, reading everything for school, spending time with my family, and cooking delicious meals.

Oy... Here we go!

Cleaning house

Well, our house is officially on the market!!!!! I am so super excited. I am praying really hard that someone comes along and wants to buy our condo. And soon! While I love waiting (God likes to teach me patience I think), I would much rather get it sold. Not really because I am super anxious to leave, but we have to have the house ready to show at any given moment, and with lil' munchkin running around, that is a bit of a challenge.

Levi definitely has days where pulling everything out of drawers is his favorite hobby. Pans, clothes, videos, toys, it doesn't matter. They all look much better in the middle of the floor than in the drawer.



While my house has never quite gotten to this state, it has gotten close. And somehow, knowning that at any moment I might be showing my house to someone I hope will by it, I am slightly anxious about keeping it clean.

So, I just will say I am going to be beyond stoked once it sells. I don't know how long my nerves will last at this rate!

And on another note, the time change is kicking my butt. I am sitting here wishing for my bed, so here's to the night and a great week ahead.

Haircuts

What is it about a haircut that makes everything so much better? I always look forward to haircuts, because they just make me feel fresh, alive, and a whole lot prettier (especially after not having one for several months!) So this week, I am going to get my hair cut. But, I just don't now what I want to do with it.

You see, I have been growing my hair out for quite some time, just to see if I could, because I haven't had my hair long since my freshman year of highschool. While I like my hair long alright, I have always had a thing for short hair. LOVE short hair.  But, for now, I am considering haircuts like these:

            

But then I see ones like this  or this 

and I want to chop it all off.

I assume that I will keep my long hair for now, but regardless, I can't wait to get my hair cut! :)
