Homemade Salsa

I made some tonight... I was actually impressed. It only took an hour from the time I started until I finished washing dishes, so not bad. The only other time I've ever made it was with fresh tomatoes and it took ALL day. I did manage to pour it all over myself, my husband, and the stove and floor before getting it into the containers... go figure!

I'm very blessed.

If all I have to complain about is Jaina not staying in bed, it sounds like we're doing OK. :)

We went to a friend's house to watch Dear John. I really just wasn't impressed. I've talked to people who thought it was great... not so much for me.

Jaina did WAY better with bedtime tonight... only got up a couple of times and she was on her way back to bed when I "caught" her.

OK, I gotta go to sleep. My eyes are starting to cross. Nighty-Night!!

WHAT have I gotten myself into!?!?

Jaina has turned into a climber. She can climb into our chairs (that are bar-stool height) and did so TWICE today so she could play with my laptop.

She was really good for church tonight. I'm worn out but she was really good and she is learning fast! Then Wal-mart (ugh) and home.

She's been out of bed an uncountable number of times tonight. I think I may take my book to the hallway instead of going back there to constantly check on her. There's an idea...

Oh, and by the way...

CONGRATULATIONS to Jordan and Chris! They are now officially moved in to their first house!

I think a housewarming party is in order...

Well

Jaina is still doing great in her toddler bed. She got up and came in our room once last night. I took her back to bed and, thankfully, that was the end of it (for last night at least). Tonight she's been in bed a total of 20 minutes and has already been up once. She was so proud of herself for getting out of bed! I just took her back to bed and she is fussing about it!

Greg and I went and played racquetball for a little while tonight. We got a friend to keep Jaina. Her grandson is in town and they needed to play. :) It's nice to get a little "date" once in a while!

Yay

Jaina is now officially in her "big girl" bed. It's really just her crib that converts into a toddler day bed. She didn't get out (or fall out) of her bed at all last night, which is a lot better than I was expecting. Let's hope tonight goes as well!

Jaina's Favorite Website

Cullen's ABC's

She will sit and watch this and stay entertained for quite a while, which is unusual for a very busy 16 month old. :) The only ones I've looked at are the "Christian Songs."

I had the afternoon off today (since I have to work Saturday). I got Jaina out of the house so Greg could paint our bedroom. That's my Mother's Day present. It's about half way done now. WooHoo!

Chiropractor

I've been going to the chiropractor. If I ever had any doubt in my head it would work, that's gone. My neck pain is completely gone and my headaches are gone except for the occasional annoyance. I've gone 4 times now (I think). The neurosurgeon pretty much told me that was all part of my condition and I was gonna have to live with it for a while at least. Hmmm...

Not much going on.

Busy 3 day weekend! Jaina and I spend all weekend with my mom and Greg came down Monday. We did a TON of yard work and had a little party Monday for my dad's birthday (which is today). They took the cover off the pool Thursday and it was VERY green. We still did lots of swimming this weekend. The green went away after a couple of days but it was still cloudy.
