Woohoo! I am officially 5 days caffeine free! By next week I hope to be totally pop free. I want to lose a little weight and get back in shape and my first step was to lose the pop and caffeine. If I work at it I think I could lose 10 pounds in a month or so. Chloe really likes to walk so we will go on walks in the evenings if weather is good, and I have also started some ab workouts. I will need all the moral support I can get because me and exercise are not the best of friends.
This weekend I am going up to Coeur D' Alene Idaho to visit a friend. Yes, a guy friend. :) I am hoping to have a whole lot of fun and it's beautiful up there so I will take my camera and take photographs.
Custody is on hold AGAIN. Not much else to say about that. Hope all is well with everyone else. I will post some photos when I get back. Love to all!

Pre-Mommy's Day fun
Chloe and I had some fun today. We woke up early and made breakfast together (bacon and eggs), then we washed the dishes. She loves washing dishes and I truly hope that it lasts when she has to do it. After a brief phone call to Grandma Sherri, we went to the store. Chloe had some money from her Grandma Sherri to buy me a Mommy's day gift, so we went shopping. Chloe was really well-behaved in Wal-mart while we exchanged vacuum cleaner bags and bought her some paper for painting.
Then we headed off to the mall. This is where the behavior wasn't so good, but she did manage to pick a gift for mommy. After checking the clothing stores where nothing looked good on mommy, and no shoes jumped out as "Gotta have em!", we went to the bookstore. Chloe (with just a little push from me) picked the book New Moon, by Stephanie Meyer. This is the 2nd book in the Twilight series on Vampires. (Totally recommend these books, vampire lover or not!) Knowing that I wouldn't be able to be satisfied when I finished book 2, i splurged on myself and bought book 3. Book 4 comes out in August, a few months before the first movie!
We came home, and had high hopes that she would take a nap. She did not. So we painted a few things that are mommy's day gifts for other people, and then showered.
My close friend Kari graduated from ISU this morning so we went to a BBQ in her honor where Chloe ran around for hours with two older kids who just loved it. Chloe is super popular among my friends and they all had a blast seeing her. When we returned home she finally conked out for a nap and so did I. After waking up we painted again
So on to the painting as i have mentioned it several times. Chloe is a very artsy girl, she loves to paint and color, and create. So when I noticed how much fun she had painting flower pots, I purchased some acrylic paper for painting, and one canvas for her to get creative. She loved it! So below are the pictures. If someone would like the Chloe original on the canvas let me know...if more than one person says yes, the first person to respond gets it, and then Chloe will just have to paint more! :)
Here are pictures below. Love and Miss you all! I will let you know when custody stuff is closer and what plans are.

Doctors, Gingerale, and Bubbles
It's a beautiful day today! I left work early to take Chloe to the doctor. She's been fighting a cough for quite some time. She has a sinus infection, it's not too bad and should clear up. I am also sick, but haven't gone to the doctor. I am pretty sure I have an ear infection, so I am taking penicillin left over from a few weeks ago when I had my abcessed tooth. Saves me a little money for now. I will go if it doesn't get better.
The doctors office trip was quick and smooth. Chloe got her stickers and we were on our way. We drove through our old neighborhood and saw our former landlord on their porch with their 2 year old, so we stopped for awhile and said hello. They gave Chloe a mango flavored popsicle which she devoured in minutes. Then she asked for a drink. They offered her an all organic Gingerale they had been sharing with Deeta (their daughter). Chloe started chugging it! Holy crap! It was so funny, because she would shake really fast when the carbonation was too strong and make a face, but she loved it. A few times it came out her nose. Then she offered me a taste. I don't know how she was handling it. It was like drinking pure ginger! She's just got weird tastes I guess. lol
Then we got home and she wanted to blow bubbles so here are a few pictures of that fun. She's getting pretty good at it.
