I just finished a back care yoga session from Comcast. My baby is hanging out on the couch; he fell asleep during my exercise session.
My work-out routine is house-bound. One day is a kid's yoga session, which I do with my oldest. The next day is a mom-only session. And the third day I ride the stationary bike. This activity is in addition to chasing The Boy, walking around, and running up and down my stairs daily.
This morning we went to the library, or the 'libo'. It takes us a long time to get out of the house. We finally got there and I chose several books for myself; a few resolution books, a romance novel and a couple of parenting books. We headed over to the kid's section and The Boy ran over to fish tank. He stood really close to a little girl, who was a few inches taller then him. I look over to my sleeping baby and look right back up when that little girl started crying. The Boy was flat on his back, looked startled, the girl was crying and had fallen over him, and another little boy stood on the other side of her! My baby started to cry, and the other mom reprimanded her son for apparently pushing his sister, who fell into my kid. I picked up The Boy, who was still looking startled, and we rushed away.
I didn't say anything to other mother; I just walked away. I wasn't mad, but I didn't feel like discussing.
My father-in- law said he didn't think The Boy even knew that I went out this evening. I don't know why he would say that. Some people are so mean.

Northbrook Court and Red Mango
The boys and I picked up my mother at her house this morning. We were early! We hung around her house for a little while...played with cars, drank coffee, and collected coupons.
We finally collected ourselves and got out of the house. We drove up to the Northbrook Mall to play at the indoor Treehouse, which is an indoor play area. My mom rushed around with my oldest and I hung out with the baby.
We headed over to Red Mango because I got the app and signed myself with their club. I am now very interested in eating more frozen yogurt. Both my boys liked it too. My mom just told me that she looked up the nutritional facts and said,
"In the grand scheme of things, it is healthy!"
I recently finished People I Want To Punch In The Throat by Jen Mann. It was everything I hoped it would be.

2nd Birthday Party
I had so much anxiety before the boy's party.
Will people like my food?
Will there be enough food?
Is anyone going to fight?
How will I respond to snarky comments?
Is my house clean enough?
I think the party went well, and my anxiety was for nothing. Good friends, family, and food are important and we had all three.
My friend said my boy was compassionate and indeed he is. We opened presents and he was excited about all of them. He showed people his toys and everyone played.
My coffee-maker is on the fritz and that is my only complaint.
When we send out our handwritten thank-you's, it will give him a chance to use all his cool art supplies.

Fresh Farms and The Library
Today we took a trip to Fresh Farms because I had a coupon and because I needed to shop for my oldest's birthday party!
I've decided to have a spread of things with condiments. We're having artichoke dip (homemade) red pepper dip (homemade), cookies (homemade), cake (homemade), chips, homemade potato chips,bread, melon, and probably a few other things I've forgotten.
I spent more than I thought I would but I also uploaded my receipt with Checkout 51.
We went to the library so the older could play with the kids. He rushed into the children's section to look at the fish. Then he rushed around looking for cat books. Today was the first day we checked out a book for him!
There is so much to be done! I don't know how to finish everything!

Happy Birthday!
Today is my first-born's birthday!!
He turns two today! I'm so grateful to be given the opportunity to raise someone such as him. And I'm astounded at how fast the time has gone.
I baked him a chocolate cake, using condensed milk. Which is great because I have several cans of milk I wasn't sure what to do with. (There were several sales and coupons). The recipe I used was on the website:
