finally.. some sun!

-
the rain that's been persisting for weeks (someone, tell me, when did i move to seattle??!), has moved out for the weekend and left behind a beautiful, sunshiny saturday!  and, instead of being on the beach, or doing something fun with my boys outside, i'm playing nursemaid to my #1 son who has caught a summer cold.  so, it's a day of OJ, chicken soup, DS & movies for him today.

however much it sucks that i'm not outside enjoying the day, tonight when hubs gets home from work, i'm strapping on the ipod and going for a kid free walk.  i can't even begin to tell you how excited i am about that prospect.  it also means i can get caught up on some much needed housework.  for anyone who knows me, you all know how crazy i'm getting living without the laundry done every day, floors done, and bathrooms clean.  LOL!

i've also started getting back to basics on the weight loss thing.  journalling, meal planning & trying to squeeze in exercise whenever i can.  my sister in law turned me on to a great website to help with journalling & exercise tracking.  so far, it's super helpful, and you can use it as a web service or an iphone app.

we'll see what happens at WI on thursday night.

a mumble jumble of thoughts

first of all.. thanks to you mommas out there who posted comments on my "bad day" post. none of my friends really have babies and nobody quite gets what i'm trying to say. i guess i'm going to have to find a way to meet some other moms. on another note, we just brought my little man home from outpatients. he's got infections in both ears and a terrible cold. he's miserable, but still smiling. update: little man is finally in bed. mark & i decided to stay here in oxford for one more night just so we didn't uproot alex after the hubbub of the hospital. we're going to head off tomorrow. i'm looking forward to getting home to my own house, but it sure is nice to have mom's help with alex being sick.

i normally don't go to the doctor. i broke down and went this morning since my cold has turned into something a little more evil, a little more menacing. that's right. i've got a throat infection and was on the verge of strep throat. so, 10 days of penicillin are supposed to cure me. god i hope so. mark's home today, so we just took alex out for a walk, with a pit stop at the kiwi for white hot chocolate & the best ginger cookies on the planet, and i'm a happy camper. 5000 calories later, life is good. i weighed in for weight watchers on monday and lost 1.6 lbs last week. that set me at exactly what my weight was at my very first OBS appointment when i was 11 weeks preggo. only 29 more lbs to go.
