~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, there! I hear you people know a lot about me.

Well, my mommy can exaggerate some things so I want to set the record straight. I’m not a little diva. Okay. Maybe I do have a little diva in me. But deep down, I’m just an ordinary girl. Although it sure would be nice to have a pony like the one I rode last weekend. Maybe I will buy one from my singing gigs. You’ll witness my talent soon. I promise. Obviously, I am scatter brained like my mommy too. Where was I? Oh yea. Planning to tell you about my days…

Each morning I wake up at around 6 am and make a little wail. I like to picture my mommy holding her breath waiting to see if I will interrupt her quiet time. It never fails to fool her. Hehehe. Then, I go back to bed until around 7:30 because I need my beauty sleep.

Once I get my mommy upstairs to change my poopy diaper and get me dressed, I convince her to make me oatmeal for breakfast yet again. I love my oatmeal. Not as much as I love my Word World though. I need to find a way to get my mommy to let me have oatmeal while watching Word World. How awesome would that be?!

I get to watch TWO twenty minute episodes each morning while mommy gets some things done. After that, my mommy lugs me off to places like the gym, the store, or (if I’m lucky) playgroup.

After we come home, it’s time to play some more! I love to color, read books, and sing my favorite songs. Would you like to hear me sing “Twinkle Twinkle”?

I will hand out crayon autographs after lunch. I’m a hungry girl and its time for me to eat!

Oh, wait. Hold off on those autographs. After lunch, its nap time. I think my mommy cries my entire nap because I’m not there to play with her. Don’t you think so? Not too long after nap time, Daddy comes home. This makes me so happy! I love being a Daddy’s girl and playing with him in the afternoon.

What a busy day! I start getting tired around 7 so I have my dinner and bath time. Then I get all cozy in bed and say night night to Mommy & Daddy after my prayers. Love Mommy. Love Daddy. Love Jesus. Love Nana, Papa. Love Teddy. Good night!

Love,

• Fun Question of the Day: What’s your absolute favorite part of the day? Mine is when Peter gets home and we have time together as a family. It’s a close second to the coveted nap time. M only fools herself that I cry during those sweet, sweet moments. 😉

Last night and again this afternoon I got outside. The husband, little M, the belly, and I headed out for some nice walks in the crisp fall air. We walk and walk for about an hour just soaking in the glorious scene of fall.

Seriously, I’m in love with fall. Breathing in the fresh air allows me to slow down and just enjoy the moment. I can’t wait for the many other outdoor activities we have coming our way! I even finagled having M’s birthday party outside at a park. Holy cow! It’s been TWO years?! How did that happen? Before I know it I’m going to be marrying her off to this guy.

Okay…breathe, Tina. Breathe. Breathe in the fresh air. There, that’s better.

I also had to focus on breath today. I headed to my favorite Friday yoga class at the gym. It felt amazing and helped calm me down. You see, I got some exceptionally exciting news this morning.

The pumpkin pie blizzard is out for October!!! I only slightly exaggerate my excitement. 😉 Even though I know I could probably whip up something similar and healthier at home with some banana soft serve, pumpkin, and graham crackers, I don’t care. Maybe I will try that come November when my favorite DQ treat disappears again. Until then, all bets are off as Peter & I  get a Blizzard of the Month with a BOGO coupon once a month if its a flavor we really like. The pumpkin though may call for an extra visit…or two.

I regrouped nicely enough though to make a healthy lunch. You know. Just in case tonight calls for the inaugural dining on above mentioned sweet. I had a sandwich repeat again. I may be slightly addicted to this tomato, hummus, cheese, onion, etc sandwich. This time with a mashed up sweet potato.

It may not look pretty, but it sure tastes good. And I just realized something. I might turn orange for my love of pumpkin and sweet potatoes. Oh no. I can’t pull off orange like some.

Breathe, Tina. Breathe. Hehehoo. Hehehoo. At least I’m getting good breathing practice for mid-January. 😉 Maybe I should look into bottling the fall air to help me relax then. Or at least look into saving a pumpkin pie blizzard for the hospital. Hmmm?

• What about fall re-energizes you?
• Do you like DQ blizzards? If so, what’s your fave?
