Wordless Wednesday

"I'm cold" (note it was 80 degrees that day)

3/29/11

I am still trying to get used to the fact that its summer weather here in March. It is so weird to be wearing tank tops instead of coats. Alayah is already starting to get tan lines from playing outside at school. I also just got hired at her preschool for a second job. I get free daycare on the days I work there so that will help out a lot. Now I have to figure out how to balance two jobs and school. This is not helping my being "tired" :)

mini twists

I tried doing mini twists in Alayah's hair and they looked cute for all of one day. Box braids and now mini twists are just too much work for the one day they last in her hair. I don't like having to fix them multiple times a day. I guess I will just have to stick with cornrows in her hair.

Tired

I am so tired lately. I'm tired of work and I'm tired of school. I don't feel like doing homework and I always want to call in to work and say I'm sick or something so I don't have to go. I'm tired of doing Alayah's hair...I'm tired of trying to pick out clothes in the morning for her. I'm tired of driving to daycare in the mornings...wait we don't even make it there in the mornings anymore...we don't arrive until after 11am when the preschool part is over. *sigh* I don't know what is wrong with me. I just don't want to do anything. I can't even remember the last time I gave Alayah a bath. It sounds horrible I know. She hates baths and screams bloody murder and the word and I just don't have energy to drag her in there and force her. Wet wipes have become my friend. Alayah has been really interested in her dad lately and almost every night this week she has asked to call him. She gets really upset if he doesn't answer.
I hope I get out of this funk really soon because it isn't healthy for me or for Alayah. I just wish I could figure out why I feel this way.

Alayah learns to ride her trike

Today was the day. Last summer she just didn't have the coordination to do the pedaling. This year is a whole new story.

She finally learned to keep pedaling in a circle. She was so proud of herself and her favorite thing to do is to go down the ramp in the driveway really fast. My daredevil.

Love her so much
