Here are some bathroom pics....
Before:
Please excuse my son's big head. The walls had never been painted before, so they were just boring white. We painted a pretty yellow color (obviously). Notice the ugly/boring old floor.
Here the floor is layed but not totally finished yet...
Finished Product:
In addition to the flooring, we also bought some moulding, painted it white, and framed out the bathroom mirror. I think it looks really nice, and adds a lot of charm for only about $15. We still have some pictures to hang on the wall and stuff, but for the most part it is done!

Very beautiful and it looks so professional Katie. You have a kitty kat too. I have a dog and cat, the cat is the boss.
Morning all. Well I only have two more days off
so I'm going to get alot things done once I drop off the kids. }( }(
To do list
1. eat breakfast (whole wheat pancakes with fruit)
2. shop for supplies for the scouts recycle meeting (Earth is Our Home patch).
3. finish shopping for a weight bench...window shopping only
4. hang spring curtains in my bedroom
5. pack up donated cloths
6. take a nap
Before I eat breakfast I'm going to do a cardio and core workout.
Maybe 1st section of rhythmic step and then the MIC step section.

Steph, Sorry you're feeling grumpy. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate but I'm sure you can handle it. KCM is so fun!
Colleen, That's a long day of meetings. Do you get to leave a little earlier b/c you worked through lunch or does it get you further behind?
Kate, Where are you? I checked my pregnancy journal and here's some info. Hope you're interested. Goal - maintain fitness as best as possible; make healthy food choices. First trimester - some days I worked harder than others depending on how I felt. 3 total body weight workouts per week and 2-3 cardio and 2 yoga sessions. Weight gain - 2 lbs.
Second Trimester - typically did 2 total body workouts and 2 aqua aerobics & 2 stretch/yoga sessions. Weight gain - 18 lbs.
Third Trimester - 1-2 total body workouts, aqua aerobics 2x per week, daily stretching. Weight gain - 7 lbs. I was eating us out of house and home. I still don't understand why I didn't gain more weight.
Hope everyone has a nice day.

Katie, The bathroom looks GREAT! Good for you guys! We did the same thing with our mirror in our Master Bath. Hungry for pinapple today?? Fresh pineapple is one of my most favorite things to eat.
Robin, Sounds like you have a great day planned. Enjoy that quiet time!!
Shirl, Hope your circuit was fun!
Steph, Fancy fundraiser?? What are you wearing?! How fun! By student, do you mean intern?
Colleen, Busy day! Hope you get some lunch in! Thanks for asking how I'm feeling. Quite honestly I feel so queasy and gross. Nothing sounds good to eat but if I don't eat it gets worse. I am SO MAD I can't work out but I'm sure I would puke if I tried. C'mon 2nd trimester!!!
My food is so wierd today:
b - wheat chex
s - cashews
s - pear
l - ?? tortilla soup & corn muffin
s - ??
d - something easy and doens't smell very strong
Somehow I have to muster up some strength to go grocery shopping and other errnands. I wish Mike could go do that stuff for me but he's under so much pressure for work.
I need to come up with a snack for preschool tomorrow. This week we'll be studying outerspace - any fairly easy food ideas??
Have a good afternoon.

Thanks Shirl! So far I'm holding steady at 135. I know its too early to gain weight anyway but I'm still scared to!! Stupid I know! Worried I'll gain too much I guess.
Right now I am doing NO workouts. I am so queasy. Makes my head spin to walk across the room let alone twirl around my step.
With Gina I ended up weighing 203(!!!!!!!!!!!!) when I delivered.
With Isabel I gained just over 25 lbs. Learned my lesson!!
Hoping to be a model of pregnancy fitness this time - just need to get past this nausea!

Kate, sorry you're feeling so lousy. Hope you feel better soon. (((hugs)))
ETA I was teaching classes during the time of the day I felt the best. Thank God! I'd go home fix dinner and then read the boys books and play board games in bed for the rest of the evening. I would be wiped out!

Hey ladies.
{{{Kate}}}} hugs and just think of how good you are going to feel in your second trimester! Some of your energy will come back and you can take the preggo pills.
Steph what fundraiser are you doing? If we lived closed together I would bring my girlscouts to help out. Steph do you like yoga because yoga is a great anti-gumpymax.
Hope the meetings weren't too bad Colleen.
Kate hhhmmm let me think of some great snack for outter space...swiss cheese (the moon) comes to mind. Orange juice for the sun. I know some great space crafts :+
I just came home from Wally World and I brought this bench
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7731201
It was on sale and it's small enough to fit in the corner of my living room. They had another one just like it which will allow you to do a preacher bicept curl but that box was too heavy.
I also brought two dumbbell handles ($6.88 each) this way I can make a 30# DB using BB plates. HA like I can lift 30#.
Now I have to go to the post office and pick up the kids from school
x( Just when I was having fun.;-)

Kickboxing is fun and will relax you after a hot shower and some hot chocolate.
Now I'm grumpy/happy. I'm happy because it only took 2 hours to put the bench together :+ . I'm grumpy because it still is taking up too much room because it is so long. Maybe I should have taken measurements :+ . Even when I fold it down it still takes up alot of room. Maybe if I fold it down and then stand it up in the closet????
Tomorrow is another day.
Enjoy your evening ladies.
