Morning. I feel slightly more human today. Sierra did not give me an easy bedtime last night so that took a lot out of me. But she slept in today till 7 so that was nice. She’s now at day care and I plan to rest more today and hopefully feel even better tomorrow.

I hope everyone feels better today! Nothing much here today. I've decided I need to look into weight watchers or something. I need to get myself motivated and in gear because all my clothes are getting too tight and I'm uncomfortable. I'm going to research it today and see if it's something I think I could stick with. I'm sure the bag of candy I bought yesterday to keep on my desk isn't helping. They recently updated WW to Freestyle. It seems intimidating at first, at least it did with the switch, because it is less points. But fruit, veggies, beans, eggs, chicken breasts, and fat-free yogurt are all 0pts in an effort to promote better eating lifestyle. But mostly i think any program where you track intake will help with weight loss. I'm doing WW online only and the app is pretty easy to use.

This morning when I got up there was a light snow dusting but schools were only on a 2hr delay and DC was open. Driving in was a little scary and schools have since closed. Our current situation sucks bc they DC is near my work- so I felt like I had to drive today (rather than wfh) or else it would’ve been another day at home w he kids. And there is no way I can work when they’re home.

I'm pretty sure my husband is trolling me after our conversation about budgeting, and him going grocery shopping and making meals. He claimed "i do't know what to make since you are on a diet". Well that isn't true, we've been making a lot of stuff over the past 6months and had conversations even this weekend about how I can basically have most things except carbs. Well then he went to the expensive grocery store in town and bought stuff for pasta salad and tortellini soup. So out of 3 meals he will have made in a month they will all be pasta. He also knows we have all the ingredients at home for these meals because he put the food in the freezer when I brought them home but yet he bought them again at the expensive store yesterday. I'm just moving any groceries from that store to the budget for his allowance which he is already close to the limit.

It definitely works for one of my friends. She had her baby within 24hrs. I really can’t remember with Landon. I know I had it done with Lucas and I had to have it done twice before I went into labor. With Ryland. I had it done and I went within the next few days. So I have everything crossed for a weekend baby!!

Sunny41 I've done WW before, so it's probably the route I'll go. But I just want to research it and make sure I can stick to it. If I have questions, I'll let you know! wineallthetime I think you meant to tag me? I wish I could afford a plan that provided all my meals, but it doesn't seem feasible since I'd still have to cook dinner for H and E. DNW to cook and not be able to eat it! The frustrating thing is I know what I should be eating, based off using WW previously, there are apps available to keep track of calories, but I just can't get myself motivated. I know once I get started, and get back to the gym, I'll feel better but it's just getting myself there! I keep using the excuse now that it's so cold, I don't want to leave the office at lunch to go to the gym. Which is just dumb, I'm outside for 2 minutes, maybe.

Morning. Snow day here. O and I are at home. I have so much work to do by next week this is really an inopportune time to have a snow day. Hopefully I will meet my deadlines! Also I have my hair appointment today which I don't want to cancel so I guess I will take O with me. Anyone take their kid to the salon before?
I hope none of the littles get the flu!!!

Here are some things the psychic said yesterday: PDQ
My job seems temporary so be open to new possibilities this spring.
My H is frustrated in his job because he feels its below him (which is true) and she sees a possibility that he and I might work together in the future.
O is “all over the place” with being excited, imaginative and curious. He needs more structure from me and me to explain more to him before we do something. Ex: if we are going somewhere, explain in detail what’s going to happen and take his questions and he will be better behaved as he will be much more comfortable.
Z is “an old soul” and needs more freedom. She will need help in the future to let go of trying to take on everybody else’s problems as her own. She will be the one to make my H reach his breaking point because she has a way with him that O doesn’t.
She said that I shouldn’t worry about sending O to kindergarten. He is intellectually ready but not socially. I can always change my mind and O will make it known what is best for him.
She said my H needs someone to take care of him but he doesn’t know how to let someone. Apply serious force.
She said when we argue I tend to shut down but what we both need is me to speak my mind. She told me to stop letting him be the smarter one.
She said I try to live a peaceful existence but I have repressed anger that I need to work through. She said I make judgements about anger like it has no place but it actually serves a purpose so need to embrace it.
She said a lot more but I seriously need to re-listen to the talk. She got into some "past life" stuff too in the beginning of the call. Basically O and I had a traumatic past life together and he was my son then too but he died. Its really special for us to be back together again and we have a serious bond.
Edit: She also said my H and I have a good relationship and that our souls are "best friends" and truly want the best for each other. That was good to hear because sometimes marriage is HARD. Ok, a lot of the time!

Haven't read yet. But Jack has a viral stomach bug. And a horrible double ear infection. When she looked in his ear she said "oh for goodness sakes!!!" So he's on an antibiotic that targets sinuses and his ears. She's hoping it'll help with the drainage. Also on the BRAT diet with probiotics. He goes back in 2 weeks. Hopefully we are on the upswing now.

But then again, i haven't done any BBM at home either.

nam2013 @sands24 SweetPotato what do you do with your boy's long hair? need about another inch before we can put it all his hair in a pony. Right now I do manbuns but really it is so long that it is a pony. I'm at a loss at the current length

He now has a ‘50 beatle coupe, so not short, but not the edge long haired look I love. How long is his hair?

That's so cool snoopmommymom! I love the stuff about your bond with O and the insights to Z. So fascinating! I would love to do something like this sometime. Dh would poo poo all over the idea but I would love it. Were you able to record the conversation?

Right now I do manbuns but really it is so long that it is a pony. I'm at a loss at the current length Why don’t you just cut it? I asked him over the weekend and he said no. I asked with MH around so he could see I wasn't manipulating his answer. He's just in that weird growing out stage. I kind of want to do this with it but we have also talked about donating the hair when we do cut it.
