The weekend is over!! Yuck! Saturday, Clint had to work overtime for half a day. Ava and I went to the gym like normal. I ran 5 miles in 47:30 minutes and then did about a 20 minute full body workout. I was a hot sweaty mess and it was much needed.
We left there and went to Lizards and Lace, this super cute kid's boutique. They were having a 70% off sale on winter items. We bought a few things and then went to Walmart to buy some more hair clippers for Clint. We started cutting his hair a couple of months ago and it does save some money!!
Clint got home about the time we did and we just layed on the couch for the rest of the afternoon, until we had to get up and get ready to meet some friends for supper. I had been in my jammies and really didn't want to go! But, alas, we did. It was an ok dinner. Some moments were awkward, but it was ok.
Sunday morning was church. Ava has given me her "cold" or whatever. I have this horrible cough that actually hurts when I do it! No fun!
Church was good. Class was even "better." I was definitely shown some things and had some things that convicted me. Rejuvenated for the week!
We came home and I started laundry and we had lunch. Oddly enough, I wasn't very hungry, but I made myself eat some food. The no-grain, no diary thing I am on is really working for me. I miss carby things every now and then, but I physically feel great! No stomach trouble. NO BLOAT! Which is fabulous! I don't see any reason why I should stop. I eat plenty of fruits and veggies to get carbs in my diet. Ironically, I made some cinnamon bread! It smelled amazing!!
We just spent time together the rest of the afternoon. Nothing exciting, just us.
I hope you had a great weekend!

Day 41-2012
I worked a back to back 11 hour workdays the past 2 days. Talk about mentally tiring! It was good though. Busy and made the days go by fast!
We haven't heard anything about the house counter offer that we made. NOR have we heard from our realtor. I texted her yesterday to tell her if she heard anything to call Clint because I was swamped at work and wouldn't be able to talk. She texted back "will do". That was it! I am frustrated with her. COMMUNICATE please! Something!!! I had to email her Thursday to get some communication from her. We hadn't heard anything from her in over 2 months and we had 2 showings in the past week! I mean if I was a realtor I would try to stay in touch with my clients at least once a month just to check in!
Anyway, long day of worrying for nothing. Of course that's how it goes. We worry about things that never happen. We SHOULD here some thing today.
I hope you had a great day!

Day 40-2012
Because my boss's father in law passed away last week, the office was closed Monday-Wednesday. TO make up for it, Dr. C opened the office up yesterday. I got up and did an arm workout, then showered and put a roast in the crockpot.
2.33lb shoulder roast
1 package Lipton cup of soup
1 Diet coke
1 can cream of mushroom soup
7 hours on low
FANTASTIC!
Anywho, I dropped Ava off at my parent's house and went to work. The morning "session" was good. Pretty consistent. On my lunch, I needed to go to the post office and then stop by at home and tune off the crockpot. The house smelled fabulous!
I spent some time with Ava at my parent's house and then went to the 2nd "session" of work. Not long after I got there our realtor called and said we had an offer on the house. This offer does nothing for us. It is a cash offer and is very inconvenient. I talked to Clint and we countered back at terms we were happy with and comfortable doing. Our realtor will talk to whomever and We shall see! If they accept, om my bejeezus!
We had the same amount of patients in the afternoon session that we did in the morning. Odd!
Friday, will be ridiculous. On the schedule, we have about 60+ patients. It is going to be a busy busy day!!
I know by the end of the day I am going to be mentally exhausted after 2, 11 hour work days.
I hope you had a great day!

Day 39-2102
Wednesday, turned out to be interesting. About 9:30 yesterday morning, I got a call that we were to have a showing from noon to 1pm. EEEEEP!!!! I had 2 hours to clean! I called my mom so she could come over to entertain Ava. I cleaned like a maid on speed, let me tell ya! I couldn't have made the house look or smell any better. (No feedback from it!)
We left before the showing and drop Daisy off at my parents' house for the afternoon and a sleeping Ava and I headed to do some piddling. My plan was to go get my nails done and Ava would still be sleeping. You know what they say about plans?! She woke up as soon as we got there. I brought in the Kindle Fire and she sat with me in the chair and watched Tom and Jerry and was really really good! She did NOT like the nail lady though.
We had about an hour to kill before we were to meet Clint. We stopped in Books-A-Million and completely shut down a walkway in an aisle. We had books and stuffed animals every where! This employee kept walking by looking horrified! I happily said, "don't worry we will pick up our mess." We killed an hour playing and put everything back in its rightful place.
We met Clint at the gym parking lot and went to Publix. Childcare doesn't start until 4pm at the gym, so we had an hour to shop. I had my list and Clint added to it. Ava slept 99% of the shopping trip! We saved about $85 on the trip. Not too shabby!
Gym time! I did a slow and steady 5 miles in 47:30 minutes. I won't be able to get to the gym until Saturday, so I wanted to get in a couple more miles than usual on my weekly runs. It was a good and sweaty run.
Ava and I went to pick up Daisy and met Clint at home. Supper was leftover randomness aka clean out the fridge. I had a barbecue salad and Clint had barbecue nachos.
Back to work on Thursday!
I hope you had a great day!!

Day 38-2012
Yesterday, was lots of playing, cleaning, lounging, coloring and spending time with my great daughter! She is just so much fun! I enjoy each moment with her!!
We didn't get out of the house, except to check the mail for 2 days! It was glorious! When Clint got home, I did some couponing and then we headed to the gym. The mill I was on stopped at 1.37miles. Just stopped! Then, I got about 2 more minutes in and it stopped again! I'm fairly certain I let a cuss word out!
I jumped on another one and finished up my 4 miles for the day. I had already lifted arms at home. I have decided I can lift at home and then just use my time to run on the mill at the gym. Time management baby!
We left the gym and went to Clint's basketball game. It was a good game that went in to over time! They lost, but it wasn't that big of a deal haha!
We came home and had leftovers from the night before and then it was time for Ava to head to bed. Clint and I sat up later than usual and spent some time together.
I hope you had a great day!

Day 37-2012
My boss closed the office until Thursday. His father in law passed away unexpectedly and they will be flying to Wisconsin for the service tomorrow. So, I get 3 entire days in a row with Ava!
Yesterday, we stayed in our jammies ALL DAY! We did change before Clint got home haha! But we really did a lot of nothing. Well, we played and Ava had her moments of crank. She is almost better. I boiled some chicken for chicken pot pie and folded some laundry. Yes, some. I was just not motivated yesterday. I even told Clint, we didn't have to go to the gym! Who am I? I don't know why I was in a funk yesterday. I just didn't feel like it.
I made semi-homemade chicken pot pie last night. I mixed a can of cream of chicken soup with a can of peas, can of green beans, 1 cup frozen broccoli, cut up cooked carrots, Clint got a cut up cooked potato and Ava and I had a sweet potato in ours. I covered Clint's with canned biscuits and put it all in the oven for about 45 minutes. It turned out really good. I'll take that as a success!!
I hope you had a great day and no funk came your way!

Days 35 & 36-2012
I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was up and down. Saturday morning we were all going to run a 5k(well Ava would be in the jogging stroller) It was pouring down rain, so we picked up our race packets and went to the gym. Great day at the gym! With 5 treadmill miles and a full body workout.
Ava had her DTap shot last Wednesday and she had an awful cough and runny nose. But we were meeting Clint's dad and girlfriend for lunch. Ava got a cat nap on the way and did fine during lunch. She is the only kid I know that will eat food from Ghengis Grill!!
We left there and headed home. Ava was kind of cranky, but rested up before we went to the Nashville Predators hockey game. It was a great game!
Yesterday, we attempted church. We left early because Ava sounded awful! She got in a nap and then we went to my parents' house for lunch. We came home and layed around. I put the ingredients in my bread machine to make some cinnamon rolls and some doughnuts. This batch was a flop! Some batches don't come out right! On to the next one!!
Ava has her moments when I know she feels awful, but she trudges along! I hate when she is sick!! She is a smidge better this morning, but still not her best! I hope she gets over this soon!

Day 34-2012
Yesterday was a good day! Well, except for the fact that my boss's father in law passed away. This was unexpected and I made calls all day yesterday rescheduling people for next week. The day went by fairly quickly. Before I left though, I put a whole chicken in the crockpot with some seasoning on it and put it in the fridge. That's it. No liquid, nothing. I got the idea from The Happy Housewife.
About 11am, I got a call from the agency that schedules showing for houses. We were to have a showing at 3:45-4:45 that afternoon. I booked it home on my lunch break to clean bathrooms, a few odds and ends and turn on the chicken.
Clint would come home before the showing and put Daisy, our Jack Russell, out in the garage and pick up the swing in the backyard that fell over by some wind. Then, we just wait.
I went back to work and it got hectic with patients, so I was too busy to worry about the showing. I hate to say this and jinx it, but I have a good feeling about this showing. I guess we will see.
I came home and Clint had pull the chicken off the carcas. He said it just fell off the bone! SCORE! We will be doing this again. He had made him and Ava, organic mac n cheese, and fixed me some turnip greens. It was a great supper!!
We hung out with Ava until it was her bedtime (not much after)
I hope you had a great day!

Day 33-2012
It is FRIDAY!!!! WHoo hoo! I love Friday's. It's the end of the work week and full of possibilities for the weekend!
Yesterday, was my day off and Ava and I lounged around the house in our jammies until about 11am. Then we headed to take some things back to Walmart. Ava slept through that errand! Next was CVS. If you are a beginning couponer. Drugstores are the place to go! I saved like $75 there! I know, right! I only spent $25! Score!
Then it was on to a local family grocery store. They just incorporated a new coupon policy of Thursday's are double coupon days UP TO $1.00!! Heck yea!!! I will be making note of things that are on sale for the week and using my $.55-$1 coupons there!
We went home and had some lunch. I inputed all of our receipts into the spreadsheet I have and we have already saved $600! Just in one month. My goal is $4000 for the year. I'm fairly certain I will hit that goal!
We were meeting Clint's mom and husband for supper and were going to head to the gym first. They texted and said they were on their way. EEEEK. I only get 3 days at the gym and they are precious, so I was a little bummed. Clint told me to go run outside. I hesistanted for a second because there were last minute things to clean up around the house. He said, "you have 30 minutes, GO!" Yes sir! He is such a great husband. It was my first outside run since I hurt my back last August. It was such a great and kind of difficult run. We live around ginormous hills! I was getting it though and pumped out 3.25 miles in 28:30 minutes. I am so glad I ran!!
We headed to a local diner to eat and then came back home so they could play with Ava. There were drums and trains involved! haha
It was a great productive, spirit lifting day! Love my "days off".
I hope you had a great day!

Day 32-2012
Hey there. I hope you had a good Wednesday. I started the morning with an arms workout, shower, clean the house kind of morning. I am such a morning person and like to hit the ground going.
Off to work I go. The morning hours were steady and went by fairly quickly. At my lunch break I needed to stopped at the store for tomatoes and sour cream. Taco salad night for supper. I headed to my parent's house after that to spend time with Ava. She said the letter "A"! Her voice is so cute!
I was kind of bummed, because she had her year and a half doc check up and this is the first one I wasn't able to go to! I wasn't worried at all. Clint is a great dad and ALMOST as thorough at doc visits as I am! She now weighs 19lbs, 11oz. She's a little tyke. She shot up an inch and is now 30inches. She is happy and healthy!!
My afternoon went by pretty quickly. We saw a lot of patients! I actually got home a few minutes earlier than usual. Because Ava was so good at the doc, her and Clint went to "kill time" at Toys R Us. She picked up a doll (Ava isn't really a doll girl) She took off down the aisle with it. So Clint "HAD" to buy it for her. We named her Piper. She can say Pipe-A. Is she from Jersey?? hahaha
I hope you had a great day!

Day 31-2012
OOPS! So I forgot to blog yesterday! Well, Monday was a full day of work. Not much to report.
Yesterday, was one of my day's off. I had a dentist's appt and Ava was to go with me, so she could get accustomed to the dentist. My aunt works at the dentist office and Ava has been before, but this time she would get to see what goes on. My mom went with us just in case Ava didn't like what was happening.
She woke up when we got to the office and soon after I was called back. Ava didn't want me to go, so I picked her up and she went back with me. I put her in my lap and P, my hygenist, put some toys on my stomach for her. Ava sat there the ENTIRE CLEANING! She was completely content and watched it all. I was surprised and so was every one else. My aunt called me last night to tell me how much they talked about Ava and her being such a good girl.
My mom had brought her book, so she was fine in the waiting room. If I hadn't brought my mom, Ava would have been hysterical! Isn't that how it works?!
We stopped by Kroger and did some shopping. I saved about 45% of our bill! Pretty happy with that.
We dropped off my mom and headed home. Ava slept for about 45 more minutes when we got home. That allowed me to eat lunch and read some! Great afternoon treat. We folded laundry and took the trash out. Piddled around the house and waited until Clint got home.
Before the gym, we headed to Publix. Publix deals end on Tuesdays. We saved over 50% off our bill. I was super excited about that one!!
We had 45 minutes at the gym. Go time! I ran 4.27 miles in 40 minutes and felt really great! Clint played basketball at 7, so we headed to his game. Ava watched and ate yogurt and clapped when necessary. So fun!!
Good day!
I hope you had a good day!
