Things I'm bad at

Taking pictures anywhere besides my deck.  I have a hard time fitting in outfit pictures as is. 
Sleeping.  Unfortunately I am a high maintenance sleeper and need it to be dark and quiet with a fan to sleep well.  I was a poor sleeper long before Addilyn so trying to take advantage of the breaks between night time feedings doesn't always work so well for me. 
Spelling words like maintenance without spell check.  You can also add supposed and physical to that list. 
Avoiding mosquitoes bites.  My family used to have me lie down in the middle of the room when there were mosquitoes in the house because they would fly right to me.  Of course the idea was to kill them before they did but it kind of sounds a little abusive when I think about it now. 
Talking in front of a group of adults without getting red faced and nervous.  Talking in front of eight years old I'm a pro at, but in front of their parents not so much. 

Not being annoyed.  Chewing loudly, tapping, snoring.  You name it.  It annoys me.  And that is the only thing that annoys Chris.  My many annoyances.  
Caring about and talking about politics.  While I feel a little ignorant in this area I honestly don't care all that much.  
Singing.  The first time I sang Addilyn a song when she was a baby she started crying.  It certainly did not help my self esteem in this area one bit.  Thankfully I think she's gotten used to my poor voice.  
Using the proper tense of run and ran.  It's a good thing my mom always emails me to correct me when I use it the wrong way on my blog.  Although slightly annoying, I appreciate it mom.
Following through at mailing letters.  I have great intentions to send letters, thank yous and once in awhile packages.  And I write them. Even address them.  But getting them stamped and sent out is somehow an issue.  My birth announcements are sitting on my counter.  Addressed and stampless.

1. I've wanted a pair of boyfriend jeans forever and recently got these and another pair.  My problem is that I think they make my legs look even shorter.  I may need some style help with them.  Hopefully the answer isn't that they just don't work with short legs. 

2. On Sunday we went to the forest preserve after church and brought lunch.  It was so fun to do things as a family and I think it may become a new weekend routine as long as the weather is nice. 

3. I've slowly started working out again.  Although it's only happened a few times, it feels good to break a sweat (not from hormones or when I'm nursing and get overly hot).  I still hate Jillian Micheal's voice and mute the tv.  

4.  I forgot to share this sweet bracelet that Chris got me after we had Addilyn.  It came in the mail the day we had to come home while she was in the nursery, which was such perfect timing.  I LOVE it.

5. I am ready to start decorating for Fall, even though the weather isn't quite there.  I bought a chalkboard pen yesterday and want to do something like this on the chalkboard by our front door.   When do you start decorating for fall? 

I hope you have a great weekend!
