What was I thinking??

I have decided that I am going to do something really cool for Christmas presents this year. However I do not think that I realize exactly what it entailed. For the sake of surprise, I cannot explain exactly what it is, but trust me, everyone who gets it better like it!

As for today, I went to Picasso's for lunch with my mom. As much as I give my mom a hard time, I really do enjoy her company. SHHHH don't tell her. I do however wish that she wasn't sick. It tries me. She said she would call the doctor tomorrow and tell them about her legs, but then she said she didn't want to because she did not want them to tell her she has blood clots in her lungs. I told her they could be treated if caught. She said she would call them, but we will see. I wish that she was in better health so she could enjoy the baby more. I asked her to watch Lilly so I could take a shower. About 3 minutes into my shower, I hear Lilly. Her voice is getting louder and louder and WHAM!! she's in the bathroom with me. I quickly rinsed off, but it made me mad at first. Then I realized that the Binkster is getting too fast and mobile for my mom. She cannot chase her down. So now I am going to have to find a new way to take a shower. Until then, I recommend using a clothespin!

Self Depreciation

I realize that I have a rather dim view of myself. I hate the way I look. I gained a bit of weight with Lilly and I just do not like the way I look. I am trying to lose the weight with exercise and watching what I eat. Yet, I always seem to fall off the wagon. I joined Stroller Strides. I love the workout (no I don't) and I love being outside with Lilly. But I am getting frustrated. I am one of the last people and I tend to hold the group up. I was all gun-ho about it until the fateful day of the HILL. That was the day I began to dread it. I was so tired and so sore that I wanted to die and hoped someone would find the baby before she was raised by wolves (these would be the same wolves who ate me as I lie on the side of the trail). Ok I am being a drama queen, but still, you get my point. I know that if I keep up with it I won't be the last person. I will be with all the in-shape moms at the front of the line. But until that happens I cannot help but feel this way.

Live from the Living Room!

Hello All! I want to welcome you to my secret world! I have decided to start a blog separate from Lilly's. This is sort of a first for me. Since the baby came around I have not really separated my stuff from hers. She has become my world!! So this is my attempt at regaining my own image and not that of Lilly's Mom. So sit back with a nice hot cup of apple cider and enjoy.
