YEA!

This is going to seem trivial to most people, but I am in a great mood today because FINALLY the person that I wanted to win American Idol actually won. Hey, I can't help it...I don't get out much these days and it is the little things! Sue me! :-)

I watched all season and loved David Cook from the very beginning. That did not bode well for him since I am a grown up and only the tween kids seem to be able to pick the Idol winner. I understand this due to the fact that even though I love to watch the show, I am not about to spend my evening trying to get through a busy phone line to vote. Remember, I did say I was a grown up. I know that the only people out there putting serious time to voting are in the 7th grade. Anyway, despite the fact that I did not vote, Cook stayed in the race. When I watched the final performances on Tuesday night, I did what I have never done before. I actually voted. I seriously spent 15 minutes dialing those three numbers to vote. I even managed to get 5 votes in through all the busy signals. That is the first time in the history of the show that I have actually voted. I just could not watch the teenager win again. He is such a seemingly sweet kid, but I was ready to see someone win that would actually get me to buy a record. I enjoy David Cook so much and I am so happy that he won. YEA!!! I feel like we have a win for the adults!

Colin is still sleeping through the night and little things are starting to come together. I instituted the rule that every time Colin sleeps through the night properly, we go for a walk when he first wakes up. First of all, it is too hot to take him on a serious workout walk during the afternoon and I desperately need to get moving. The early morning is still cool enough to workout and Colin is in a great mood. So as long as I had a full night of sleep, we are doing it! Now that I am getting proper rest, I need to lose this weight! Also, during Colin's naps when I used to sleep, I am starting to tackle different cleaning projects. I actually cleaned our bedroom for the first time in forever this week! I actually saw what our bed looks like when it is made up! HA! Don't get me wrong, I am still exhausted chasing Colin all day, but after going 10 months with no sleep, I can handle standard daily tiredness. :-)
