Quick, quick, quick....
We are back from Colorado and had a marvelous time. We got back and started the foster parenting classes, the boys started art classes, Ds11 has two of them, DS14 has been doing odd jobs for a business owner in town, and DS11 has ramped up his drama practices because the performance is this weekend. The yard is growing like a weed. I have been having to mow it every 3 days and it takes me well over an hour and a half at least. I have a my first physical in 4 years today. I am nervous. I don't like going to the doctor and I don't like standing on the scale. I kept putting it off thinking I would lose all of this weight and go in without any discerning looks headed my way, but oh well. We have to have physicals for this foster parenting thing.
I lost .2 pounds in two weeks. Not exactly a wow, but it is still a loss. I figure it is ok since we were eating out all week on vacation.
Good news: I got to try on clothes for the first time in ages while shopping on vacation and almost everything I took into the dressing room actually fit or was too big! Celebration!!!!!!! For a long time it has been the opposite. Take in clothes, try them on, take them off because they are too tight or even worse won't even go on. So I had some satisfaction this time. This process is so slow, but results make it worth while.
I hope all of my friends out there in EP land are doing ok! I will have to try and read some blogs soon and check in with all of you!
With all of this zooming kids around town, I think I need some sort of tiny fuel efficient car. The suburban is not exactly a "toot around town" car with its 42 gallon gas tank. Hmmm...I've always wanted a volkswagon bug.
