Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
Still so early in the week. Don't let it get you down. Don't let it break your stride. You've got to keep on moving.
Whether you prefer Roberta Flack's or The Fugee's version, it's a masterpiece either way.

I wrote a long post and it disappeared. Basically I'm glad I'm mostly working from home so I don't have to deal with my coworkers' tomfoolery f2f everyday.
Maddie came home with another little gift from her bf yesterday. This kid is so thoughtful. I told her she needs to make him a drawing or something.

Morning.
When I picked up M2 yesterday, he was a coughing mess. I gave him what meds I could and breathing treatments last night. He did pretty good overnight and only started coughing about an hour before we needed to be up. He’s a little warm to the touch and is hacking away this morning, so I’m keeping him home. It’s supposed to be a rainy day, so lots of cuddles and packing on the agenda.

In July we're staying in a timeshare for a week at a lake. MH foolishly told our friends who visited this weekend. They've tried to invite themselves on our vacations before. He told them "I think we just have a 1 bedroom" and of course they said "no problem, we'll just bring an air mattress and sleep on the floor." But then how would I have any space to get a break from you when you inevitability drive me crazy?
We originally were friends with the husband, W, and then he met S. S is nice and we're very glad she makes W happy and treats him well...but she's really odd (gets into arguments about how to recharge crystals with a flea market vendor), makes up bizarre stories, not very bright, often throws out random untelated tidbits about her chaotic family upbringing when we're joking around having a lighthearted conversation, and can be a spoiled sport about what games we play (we always play cards and board games together). We went camping with them for a week once and it was a miracle I didn't throw her off the ferry at the end of it. Being the woman I get stuck with her more when the men do guy stuff.
MH and I agreed that 1 day of S was plenty and we'd go bonkers after much more than that. Heck no to them crashing our vaca.

The kids need to be in white/light clothing for Pentecost coming Friday. Both kids do not have white or light clothes, I ordered some stuff which was no good. Figured since stores are open i’d run to zara and h&m early to beat the crowds, but I had no luck at all. Reminded me why I do not like shopping!
Tonight dh is surprising a friend that turned 40 today with a visit, he’s not sure if it’ll be just a ‘pavement’ visit or that they’ll sit outside and order a pizza or something. I suddenly got nervous about bedtime with three kids, so my mom is coming over to lend a hand. I made them dinner in return.

Give or take 10lbs I’m as heavy as I was 9 months pregnant. I know from previous experience that the weight won’t budge until I’m done nursing. I feel crappy. I’m trying to to let my kids notice & talk positive about my body.

I feel your no weight loss until nursing is over frustration though. I couldn't lose a pound when nursing. My boobs were so massive it was a joke to attempt any cardio, I was constantly hungry, and with work/nursing/babies I didn't have the time.

I’m not gaining either, so at least there’s that 🤷🏼♀️.

LolNO! inthekitty This would have been my face. I’m down for a Motivation thread. I’ve been going at it for over a month now, but the only thing really motivating me is out beach trip next month. I was also the heaviest I’ve been since postpartum and just didn’t feel great about my body, especially with awful eating habits. I can see the progress after being consistent for over a month now and I’m feeling better from within.

I'm eating the most delicious salad. tgrimes will probably think it's disgusting. Lettuce,pesto chicken, avocado, blue cheese, corn, pecans and raspberry vinaigrette. Only thing missing is some strawberries.

Hey. S had a field trip to a fancy ice cream place and I signed up to drive. Who doesn’t want delicious ice cream at 10am? Nothing else going on except work this evening.
In weight news, I lost 5lbs last month and have so far kept it off. Still have about 45 more that I’d like to lose. Eating mostly cheese and carbs right now isn’t helping with that. I need to sign up for a gym membership and start going consistently. My neighbor friend and I talked about it a few weeks back, but with all my mouth stuff it hasn’t been on the top of my priority list.

I was just going to do the 2 week trial, but then I was like, eh fuck it, lets see what 6 months will do.

We’ve gotten on the wrong bus like 4 times today. We obviously don’t public transit well.

Lolz, MH reminded me of another crazy S story. When we lived in our old house and he said he thinks we have a ghost there she was dead serious when she asked if we wanted her to talk to it.
No thank you to joining us on our vacation.
