1703 Sunny Day

Saucy Scale: 10

Funny the difference a few hours can make.

As I was getting dressed this morning, I realized my period was starting.  I was really sad.  I realize that my OB/GYN told me it would take a few months for my hormones to get back in check after having my IUD removed.  I just don’t like it.  I worry that my eggs got old and stale while I was using the IUD. 

Thing is, that while TBU and I have been having lots and lots of sex, we’ve not been "trying".  By that, I mean…I’ve not been checking the ovulation stix constantly to PLAN when to have said sex.   

Enough wallowing.

The boys didn’t really sleep in so late this morning.  I decided that we needed to get dressed and go for a walk in Downtown Our Town.  Gusser was so funny!  Entering the local Bagel Chain Restaurant, we has to walk past 2 Town police officers.  He marched right up the the one in uniform and said, "Good Morning Police Officers!"  (I was THRILLED that he didn’t say the slang word mommy thought would be "funny" to teach him.  It is my greatest fear that he will one day walk up to a Copper and call him "Po-Po"!)

Anyhoo…we ate our bagels, visited the library for a stack of books, took a quick walk to the riverfront to look at ducks, geese, & construction machinery.

It was a good outing.  It is a beautiful day.

Mattson is napping (ok, actually I hear him kicking the wall & singing to himself, but he’s down for his a.m. rest).  Gusser is happily on Day Two of Operation Underwear.  No accidents to date.

Mommy has been overloading her brain.

First I started obsessing about homeschooling.  I went to  1 1/2 days of workshops and lectures last week.  I’m really glad that I went to the conference.  It was an eye-opening experience.  I’ve been reading all the pamphlets and materials I picked up along the way.  TBU & I purchased a few books, too.  So, I’ve been skipping between them in an attempt to determine some sort of plan for our homeschooling future.

Then I started obsessing about my fat @ss.  I am so sick and tired of being out of control.  I’m currently "over" Weight Watchers.  I know I need to do something, but I’m not sure what the next step will be.  So I’ve been looking at websites for both Real Age and You:On a Diet as well as Bob Greene’s The Best Life Diet.  My trip to the library this morning was a goldmine.

Before the boys were constantly sick this past Spring, I’d been going to the YMCA regularly.  The boys were always passing a cold back and forth thanks to the Y childcare, which just killed my ability to workout as well as my desire to workout.  I missed more of my water aerobics than I was able to attend. 

TBU & I have been talking about our workouts (or lack therof).  We’ve been going for a family walk between dinner & the boys’ bedtime.  That’s a good start, but that’s not enough.

BlahblahblahLazyFat@ssCakes.   

Ok, that being said, I am just waiting for Matty to wake up from his nap so that we can go meet my daddy for lunch at Chipotle. HA!

5 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. Gus + undies = Big Boy 
2. Gus + Mattson + Mommy + afternoon nap = Happiness for everyone
3. the t.v. show Verminators (aka: Rat Show)…it’s scary to see the conditions that some people will live in!  Roach poop is crazy!
4. Today is just a GORGEOUS day!  
5. Spending time with TBU at the end of the day.
