So randomly I decided to try to break Jasmin of her thumb sucking habit.  It began with a fit from her, but once I mentioned painting her nails, she perked up.  It's now 6 days of no thumb sucking!  Sometimes she does at night, but we'll deal with that later.  Funny thing is....I'm kinda sad about it.  She's growing up.

Today was a rough day. Sorta happens after the kids spend time at Grandma's house. Jasmin had many obedience problems today. But the afternoon went better for us both. Especially after I threatened an extended nap time. Then, she decided she didn't want to even try dinner. So, she went to bed hungry without being able to play at all after dinner.

Dylan, however, ate great and we were able to play balloon volleyball after dinner. It's one of our favorite games. We don't keep score.

I was able to go to downtown Chicago on Saturday. Spent the day with a friend from highschool and some of her highschool students. Funny how that works. It was great catching up though. However, the next day my legs were so sore! I must have walked 7 miles and I could feel it. I did get to do one thing I've always wanted to--go up the Sears tower sky deck. It was really cool. :)

Praying Jasmin eats her dinner tomorrow morning right away.... No, I don't always make her do that, but she wouldn't even try it! Might be another long day, lol.

Jasmin asked me the other day, "Why can't I marry Dylan???" She loves him so much. I love that 90% of the time, they play so nice. I pray that they will be close for their whole lives.

I tried out a dance class with a friend the other day. It was fun. Sometimes I wish I could get a gym membership. But, honestly, I would hate driving out just to work out. But still, I think it would be fun to go back with her again.

I did add pilates to my routine this week. I did them three times this week. Total of 3 hours of exercise this week. Pretty impressed with myself. Lol. I still haven't been able to break through the plateau I'm currently stuck on. :( I was hoping to start a C25K program, but it doesn't fit into my present schedule. So, back to the elliptical.

I really think I shouldn't blog while I watch TV (which I'm doing now). It's impossible to concentrate. I think that's why my blog posts are always so sporadic and lack continuity. :)
