Rat car

Parkers most favorite. .. my least favorite

Lesson learned

Ice cream usually makes a bad day better... unless you share it with a baby, then it just means an extra mess to clean up.

Mr Potato head

We've gotten a surprising amount of use out of this toy

Why, Parker?

Just why

Breakfast is served

I don't usually buy food at the dollar store, but...

I wish

let me complain for a minute

I wish I could get up the stairs
I wish we could move to a one story house
I wish I could lift my baby into his high chair
I wish getting dressed wasn't so exhausting
I wish people wouldn't glare at me for using a handicapped spot
I wish applying for disability wasnt such a pain in the neck
I wish I could visit family easier
I wish I could go on girls trips to Ikea and the mall and not be embarassed to use my walker
I wish I could  go on walks with my husband and baby without my baby stealing my walker or cane

Happy Valentines Day

from Parker and his one true love

Home fitness

Haven't been able to make it to the gym for a while due to a massive lack of spoons, so we did a weight watchers dvd together yesterday. Parker squatting and doing sit ups= CUTEST THING EVER!

Parker and Jon are my reasons for getting healthy! They already sacrifice so much because of my RA.  My RA causes enough problems... I really don't want to end up with any of the number or maladies that come with being overweight.

What Parker Ate

I am thinking of renaming my blog to "what Parker ate".

Today for lunch he ate
2 bowls speghetti os with meatballs
1/2 sweet potato
1/2 cup mixed veggies
1 bowl yogurt
2 stewed apples
1 banana
1/2 sleeve whole wheat ritz crackers

I'm also considering putting a PayPal widget on my sidebar in case anyone wants to contribute to my grocery budget.

Thoughts?

Wowww

Parker just ate 2 bowls of speghetti os, a bowl of cereal, and a chocolate cupcake. FOR SNACK. He ate an even bigger lunch a few hours ago. I am terrified to think of what will happen when he's a teenager.

You shoulda seen the look on his face when I served meatballs for lunch. He yelled BALL and dug right in!

Valentines Day prep

P is participating in his first ever Valentine swap next week as part of his music class. The tiny Martha Stewart that lives in my brain said I should get out my Cricut... but she was outvoted by the sheer exaustion caused by raising a toddler while chronically ill. Besides, I think Parker had more fun this way!
