Let’s just call this the week that got away. My fever is long gone (and GOOD RIDDANCE) but I still feel like I’m in a bit of a fog and I could basically go to sleep at 5PM every day. Mike claims this is really not that different from my norm, but I haven’t even felt like working out again yet and I ate quite a bit of pity ice cream this week. It’s high time I got back into my groove, whatever that may be.
So probably not buying fancy chocolate bars from the hospital cafeteria and then eating them as a midday snack. Hrmph.
We’re headed to NJ tomorrow for a double Father’s Day celebration (first Mike’s friends and then his family) and then on Sunday we’ll hopefully just be relaxing at home while my family comes over to entertain Remy. That kiddo has been a trip lately. She’s started imitating the way I speak to her when I’m trying to be firm and sound like I’m mad at her, like really enunciating and pausing after each word. So when she wants us, she yells “COME. GET. REMY. NOW.” It’s hard to describe, but just imagine a 2 year old trying to sound intimidating. Hysterical.
Also, it is now apparent why my tactics don’t at all work since she obviously finds them more funny than anything else.
Ohhhhhhh that kid.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

I personally love the threats “if you don’t do this, I’m going to kick you/ break everything/hurt you. “
