M.I.A

I have been M.I.A from my blog almost the entire week. It has been a rough week. The weather isn't helping either...there's a heat wave one day and then freezing the next day. R Jr. and I have been under the weather this week. R Sr. just got back from his trip last night (Hallelujah!!). So good to see him after two weeks. Managing R Jr. single-handedly can be trying at times:)

I hope to get back to my routine beginning today. There are some things on my "To do" list that I hope in accomplish in the next 10 days (don't know how reasonable that is):

1. First and foremost, fixing those picture issues on my blog. I thank everyone who left comments/suggestions and will surely try them out. I upload them via Picasa, and now it says I have exceeded the storage limit.

2. Give my blog a face lift. I want to put in a Blog Button and add some more pages maybe.

3. Teach R Jr. to hold the pen/pencil right. R Jr. doesn't have the tripod grip. He holds the pencil a weird way right now, with the pencil top/eraser pointing away from him. I started teaching him the tripod grip yesterday and hope to spend some time everyday with this.

4. Get back to an exercise routine. I am not 20 anymore:( I have gained 5 lbs in the past 4 months. 5 lbs is not too hard to lose I should think. But I have been saying this forever. I better act now before 5 becomes 10.

5. Start planning R Jr.'s birthday party that's coming up in December. R Jr. and I have settled on the theme.

6. Wait....before R Jr.'s birthday, Halloween is just around the corner. We will be having a Halloween party at the office, and I need to decide on a costume for R Jr. and myself.

Now I am wondering, where did the first 8 months of 2010 go?!! We totally skipped a season here in NorCal. Now, I can't wait for the next summer already.
