Confessions of a Schlumpadinka

Hi. Well here I am. It's Thursday. The snow melted boo hoo but we're supposed to get more tonight. Yeah! I want to take Asher sledding. I think it'd be so fun! Last winter I was too big, still healing, or caring for a newborn during the snows. I'm ready to get out and have snow much fun again!

Yesterday I watched Oprah. She had "Schlumpadinka Makeovers." If you don't know what a Schlumpadinka is then you've never watched Oprah...but it's her way of describing a woman who has let herself go. Well as I sat there in my comfy shirt and pants that I had also worn the day before, I realized I was exactly what Oprah was talking about - a Schlumpadinka! So, I admit it. But, it is hard to get dressed and ready when I'm not going anywhere. And, my clothing options are limited, so I like to save my nice outfits for when I am going somewhere. But anyway, TODAY I got dressed. And then I realized even an outfit I thought was kinda nicer is probably still Schlumpadinka. So I guess I need to go shopping! A depressing thing for me, but the Oprah show gave some nice affordable ideas. So I was all proud of myself for getting dressed nicely today...but haha...did I dress my kid? Nope. But he looked so cute in his footy pjs today...and so comfy!

Speaking of Asher, check out these curls on my kid:

And here's a few other funny pics/stories about Asher.

Here he is "helping" Daddy find things in the fridge:

His 11 month pictures:




Asher will climb in/on anything: standing in his toy bin...




Today he was mesmerized by the theme song to Full House. He seems to love music. He likes the theme to Family Matters too.

Here he is with his favorite tube of vaseline. He loves this thing for some reason and calls it "Honey."
