My daughter, the penguin

When I got home last night Doodlebug was sleeping and LuLu was watching Happy Feet. Now, when I say "watching" what I mean is running around the den like a crack head and then sporadically breaking out into a wild stomping dance which would result in her trying to jump in the air and scream "Mambo!"

Since I do not have an actual picture of LuLu, this is the closest thing I could find that looked like what she was doing. The dancing lasted for almost the whole movie except for a five minute window when she fussed "NO! NO! NO BITE! OH NO MOMMY....UCK...GONNA BITE MOMMY" at the leopard seal for trying to bite Mambo. I am almost positive her father fed her pure sugar for dinner, especially since half the bag of marshmallows has mysteriously disappeared.

Yesterday was the end of my first 21 day habit and the beginning of my second. My first habit of the New Year was to perfect a "before bed" routine. Although it is not perfect, now I wake up to a fresh pot of coffee, ironed clothes that were picked the night before, a perfectly packed diaper and work bag, a table set for breakfast, and the kids clothes neatly laid out waiting for them. This is an amazing improvement to the frantic race to the door which used to be my morning.

Yesterday, I also started habit #2, which is to get my ass in shape. I went to my Doctor on Friday to get the go ahead and he gave me the okay. So yesterday Jess, Britt and I walked 2 miles after work. I do not know if it was the exercise or the B12 that Britt slipped me after lunch but I felt incredible last night. The only bad part is that by the time I get home Dbug is asleep. I think I am going to have to ask Sean to keep him up so when I get home I can at least give him his bottle and put him to bed. If all goes well my health habit will finish up before Valentines Day so i can totally pig out on whatever I desire.
