Update
Being in school again makes me snack like crazy!
And along the same lines, I've lost a ton of weight (ok, truth time- all time high of 148 to all time post baby low of 135), and people are noticing. I feel great, I get compliments daily and I love the way I feel. But... I've been eating like crazy! I snack all the time and not just on crap either. I wonder if my body has used up all the alternative fuel (body fat) to feed baby up to this point and now the weight loss is a combo of breast feeding, upping my thyroid meds, anti-depressant side effect, and living life a bit chaotically (forgetting to eat regular meals some days, bike riding to school, etc). I love it and have no major hope of it lasting, especially at the rate that I'm snacking.
Ok, so Morgan's birthday has come and passed, and now next it's my birthday!! Whoo hoo! So here's a list of what I want: Fergie's new CD, some one to clean the inside of my van windshield and replace the wiper blades, accessories for my cell phone- a car charger and some kind of headset (it takes bluetooth), a neckalace custom made in the shape of a star with every family members birthstone in each corner of the star. And these are my simplist wishes. Oh yea, I'll also take a new laptop, a big bad ass camera, and lots more study/errand/babysitting time! Maybe some new jeans. And how about... humm.. control of the earth!! Some freakin books, subscription to SNR, Adbusters, Bust, New Yorker, or any cool, non daily reading. Shoes. Man and I thought I didn't want that much!
Some time's I'm a good mama, othertimes I just want to take a break from mama and be babysitter instead.
It's strange, my babysitter and sisters' roommate is dating my husband's first cousin. Strange. And they met through my sister at the hooka bar.
My mother has been amazingly good lately. Well behaved and coherent. Humm... shit's gonna fall.
I had a wow in counseling the other day. What I need to help my kids stop fighting so much is realize what their individual needs are and how to make each one realize the other's need. And likewise, I (and Dan) need to stop and asses our children's needs and how that is motivating their behavior anytime before we parent in autopilot mode. So anywhay, the main thing is that we both feel that we aren't quite parenting in the way we used to, or the way that we want to, but we're too tired or overwhelmed to put the required effort back into parenting that we should. So yeah.
Nick is eating food from the ground. We just mopped yesterday. Sigh.
