FOCUS THIS WEEK: Spend quality time with friends, family and especially Mr. LL. So far so good!

My daily tasks are:

• Make the bed EVERY DAY. 
• Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
• Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
• Do something laundry related every day.
• 10 minute pick up before bed.
• Journal Today was the first day this week that I actually got around to doing this and meditating. 😕
• Meditate

For my weekly tasks:

• Clean the bathroom
• Dust 
• Walk 4 days a week. Didn't walk Monday because I was getting over a cold/allergies. Didn't walk yesterday because it was Mardi Gras (didn't do much of anything out of the house, actually). Was going to walk today, but slept through BOTH of our alarms. Meh.

Allen The Alligator on SALE!

Hey! So, to get rid of this box of books that I have taking up space AND to help us cover the stupid high costs of having a baby, I'm putting what inventory I have of the children's book I illustrated up for sale! Normally each book is $15, but I just want them out of my life! So they are $10/copy (signed by me!) PLUS free shipping if you use the code LAZYBABY when you place your order.

So please, if you can, we'd greatly appreciate the help! And if you can't/don't want to buy a book right now, I get it! Please share this post and this sale with others!

Thanks!

Today is my rest day. I wasn't going to rest today because my work out yesterday was pretty "meh" but last night I realized that I probably need the rest day because I had a hard time moving around yesterday and I had to take Tylenol twice for my back. So rest day it is.

I am proud of my work out yesterday, as crappy as it was, because I actually got up and did it. It was a wet and rainy morning and I wasn't about to get caught in the rain on the levee with Bigby. So instead, I had a few pregnancy workout videos saved on YouTube and I tried a couple out. The first one was too hard on my wrists, so I had to stop that one about a third of the way through. The other one I had time to do was really just deep stretching. Still, I'm not working out to lose weight but rather to help prepare my body for L&D.

I hope taking a rest day today doesn't throw me off like it did last week.
