Need. A. Vacation.

By
The Orclette was sick this weekend. She's also going through teething/separation anxiety/fussiness/won't let me out of her sight. Also experimenting with screaming.

So my nerves are on edge.

And then Damm got sick early this morning. And the Orclette is still fussy.

At this point I want to get sick so I can lay in bed and let Damm take care of the Orclette. In another room so I can't hear the fussiness.

/cry.
/hide.
/want to be single again.

Sorry, sweetie! It's OK to feel a bit overwhelmed. And it does get better.

When they leave the house, I have heard!

Aww - HUGS. Honestly it gets easier. One and a half to three years old (ish) is the worst possible. You feel you can't help them when they cry. All they want is Mummy. You have no other existence apart from "Mummy".

Then all of a sudden they are almost 14 and you are the last person in the world they want to know.

Learn to love the good things. The total dependence. The fact that YOU are somebody's whole world. Treasure them, remember them, for they are gone too quickly.

But it really really does get better - I know exactly how you feel and send hugs and virtual chocolate,

Aww hon, Seph is right, it does get easier! Hope you get some pampering once Damm and Orclette are feeling back to normal. /hug

I agree with everyone else. I remember those days with Alex. It's so hard when they can't tell you what's wrong and you just have to guess. But soon, it will get better (course, then she'll be complaining and telling you everything that's wrong and never be quiet again) *grin*

Try to steal a few minutes when you can and know that we're thinking about you.

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
