Attitude:

Well, I'm trying not to get too personal (if it only involved me, I'd say whatever, but since it involves another...), but I'm also sure that somewhere out in the great land of cyberspace, someone is wondering. So, I read an article in a recent Reader's Digest ( http://www.rd.com/healthy-living/mind-and-body/sex-and-weight--relationship-issues/article.html ) about sex and weight loss. One of the conclusions was that "the biggest improvement in their sex lives came when they lost just 10 percent of their body weight. That's a very minimal weight loss, and these people were still substantially overweight." Well, I haven't even hit the 10% mark yet, and I already notice a huge difference. And maybe it's because I feel smaller and therefore more attractive, but it definitely has to do with the getting smaller part. Well, enough about that (and for those of you wondering, I did read this to my HHT and he was ok with what I wrote...although he did have valium today...I may be editing this post later. :o)) My day was filled with doctor's visits and pharmacy runs. First, the HHT went in for his vasectomy (which my 11yo calls "getting neutered"). While waiting for him, I let my doctor know how the toddler was doing. She wanted S to be seen today. Get HHT home and as comfy as can be then turn around and take S back. She has an ear infection. Get the prescriptions to the pharmacy (for vicodin and amoxicillan, what a combo!), drive home, go back in an hour and pick them up. Thankfully, my Super Sis-In-Law was here to help out. Without M, I'd be an even bigger wreck than I am now. It's been another day where I really had the urge to just eat everything in sight due to the emotions of tiredness and general drainedness (making up words again). But I didn't. This isn't even a really bad day, it just showed me how much I ate to compensate for all those negative feelings I had. So, once again, I'm blogging instead of eating. I figured the warning label at the top will keep people who would be offended from reading this post (although it may draw even more attention. LOL). I plan on getting the kids to bed later and if I'm not too tired, watch LOST.

5 things I’m grateful for:
1. Super Sis-In-Law for helping the kids and taking them out to dinner and helping around the house...I'm sure going to miss her when she's gone (she's also really fun company!).

2. a doctor who would rather err on the side of caution

3. My HHT's company

4. leftovers

5. encouragement
