Missing the noise

It was an amazingly quiet weekend. My mom had both the kids and it was my husbands first weekend off in a long time. My house was TOO quiet. That eerie quiet. I say that I need a break from the kids, but when they are actually gone, I spend the whole time missing them, wondering what they are doing, and wanting those baby hugs!

Friday, my husband and I decided to try something new for dinner since we didnt have the kids. There is a place near us that is called. DD Peckers. (mottos are "every chick needs a pecker" and "theres always something up with Peckers") Not a place I would normally go to...We went in, and it was dark, nasty bar feeling. Needless to say, the food was dripping in grease and well, I didnt have to worry about the calories, cause the food was assuredly not going to stay with you long. lol...

Sunday, we got the boys back, and from the moment they got in the car...The whining began...I said awww, its a special priviledge they save for us...lol...oh, How i missed the noise. The quiet could drive a sane person crazy.

I dont know what is up with my body. I get scared. Last night, I started bleeding again. According to my bc pills Tom isnt due for at least another week and a half. The reason I get scared is, hub and I wanted to have another child. But with my cycles being messed up, coming and going as they will, its hard to track. At my age, my mom had to have a hystorectomy. I dont want to follow the same trend.  I know that sounds a bit silly because I am not my mom. But she had a lot of the same things going on with her body. Eh, I guess we will see where things head. Its just frustrating..Sorry had to vent.

I have found over the last several months, that if I plan out the menu, go to the store for only those things on my menu list. It makes it so much easier not to stray, and we save money. I lay out the calendar and plan the meals, then coordinate what we need, and go to the store from there. If i only have what I need, I cant veer too much from the path of eating right.  I didnt realize how much extra stuff we were buying until I put my menus into place. Oh, the mismatch items in the cupboard. lol.

I hope we all drop some pounds this week...keep our heads up and keep smiling.

Scary stuff

That is pretty scary with TOM and all.  What do the doctors say?

I agree on the planning and shopping.  However, there's always the husband and the kid to screw things up.  By that, I mean, THEY still want the chips and such.  It's so hard NOT to eat it when it's sitting right there.  And we don't have anywhere to hide the stuff.  Oh well, will power, right?

Menu planning

I should do that too, but I never do. 

Funny how when the kids are around we miss the peace and quiet.   When they're away too long, we miss them like crazy.  Go figure!

Have a great day!

Planning Menus

I have to start doing that too.  It is easier to sway from eating right if you don't plan it out.  Like me, i end up just going to the drive-thru and that's so bad.

As for your cycle, just check with your doc.  it's better.

Thanks for the nice comments.  I am wishing you lots of lost pounds...

planning

Truly, planning makes all the difference.  And it can give you the satisfaction of knowing that, however crazy and wacky life can get, you're in control over something.  Yay you!

Awwwww

Mine (almost 15 yr old ds) rarely leaves either and I am so torn when he does go somewhere, especially overnight.

Hugs!!

Hi

I am worry about your bleeding even with the bc pills.  What does the Dr. says about it?

I wanted to ask you if you have PCOS (Policystic Ovarian Syndrome)?

I hope you feel and do better soon.

Evy

did you talk to the doc?

I just read this blog and it sounds like a problem I was having last year. I would get TOM at random times and it would last waaaay too long. I'm embarrassed to admit that it went as long as 5 weeks once before I got to the doc. It turns out it was endometrial polyps. Nothing too significant or dangerous. They gave me some meds to stop the bleeding and said that if it continued, I might need surgery (similar to a D&C, I think), but the meds totally took care of it and I've been as regular as clockwork ever since.
