So I'm back to running. Sorta. More accurate would be I should be back to running but I finally went for a run this morning.

I waver between disliking running and hating it. Today I hated.

When I hear people say they "had a good run" I assume they are either lying or they mean "...because I'm not dead" and/or "...because it is over."

So today's run ( Read more... )

Huh. Kinda nice.

A busy and full day for sure. Stayed past 5. But was eager to see the fam when they got home. I even waited on the swing set. I think of other days when in this position, how I would have hid.

I was thinking daycare might help with weaning. Or, it would go the other way. It's gone the other way. She is definitely "making up for it" ( Read more... )

Today was better. Not that yesterday was bad, at all, but I think I managed a bit better. My energy was up, my panic reigned in, and my confidence building. I had definite moments of I am lucky to be a part of this.

Makes a mortgage impossible. Also impossible: eating, gas for the car, preschool...

On Friday they offered me the job. No I try to find a counteroffer they will accept that I can afford to take. It's so strange, in my 20's changing jobs was pretty much all about advancement, more title more money better benefits. And now taking a huge step backwards ( Read more... )

So 5 days ago G climbed on the toilet seat to reach something with his nasty dirty feet and left footprints. I learned this after the fact when I entered the bathroom, saw this, and yelled to my husband, ""What is up with the toilet seat?!" He told me all about it. In my head: Did it occur to you to clean that up? But the answer is obvious. It did ( Read more... )

Just generally feeling like a waste of space lately. Spent three weeks losing three pounds, gained it all back in a week. FMMFL.
