So Many Thoughts…

So Many Thoughts…

My thoughts are kind of all over tonight. They’ve been that way all day. And it’s been awhile since we had a random thoughts post, so here goes.

Today is the second full day on weight watchers. I packed the same lunch as yesterday. It fits well in my points and I like it. But was frustrated to be REALLY hungry this morning. Why wasn’t today’s lunch working out like yesterday. I sent out a call on #wlwed, and got some pointers from a sweet twitter friend. She talked me through some snacks…and then it hit me, I had forgotten to eat half of my breakfast! I had my no sugar added breakfast shake, but had forgotten to eat my breakfast sandwhich when I got to work. Oh boy!

Also had an open mouth, insert foot moment today. Another lady in the office was drinking a slurpee and somebody said, “watch it or you’ll get a brain freeze”. She said, “oh no, you get rid of that by putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth”. To which I responded “are you full of crap?” Everybody in the office busted out laughing, she razzed me for being so bold, and I choked on a piece of walnut I inhaled while eating my foot. She swears it works. I say that is solving an age old problem, too bad I learned it after starting weight watchers. Do I have any volunteers in bloggy land to try this out and let me know if it works???

It snowed today for the first time this season. And not just little bits, but some pretty decent snow flurries. This of course required everyone on the freeway to slow down from 80 to 45 then 40 and finally 25 miles per hour. I was suprised at how much it there was for the first snow of the year. Caitlyn was excited. Sue, not so much.

Patrice is now a full blown walker. None of this step here or there, but a “hey, I’ll walk across the room to you” walker. She was showing off her skills after dinner. She had just eaten. I had JUST nursed her. I was so excited to see her walking, I picked her up and started tossing her in the air. She laughed, so I did it more. Then we stopped, then she threw up on me. Best part, I couldn’t figure out why it was so liquidy, until Caitlyn said, as I was cleaning up vomit, “maybe you nursed her too much.” Yup, I’m a third time mom. How many kids do I have to have before I learn the lesson to not play catch with them right after feeding them? Maybe that’s why the Duggars keep having them, they are waiting to learn that lesson? (BTW, no judgment for them here; I’m more jealous than anything, I would love to be surrounded with the crazy madness of a mega family!)

I forgot to take my meds last night. Today was a little more intense emotionally, but I made it through. Quite well actually. Very well, if I do say so myself. It showed me I’m not ready to be med free, but I’m getting there. (Thanks to the dear friend who was there to walk through emotions with me today).

Yesterday a twitter friend did this post. Can you make her recipe and report back? I’m pretty sure one bite is my weight watchers points for the day! And while you’re there, could you encourage her a bit? She is rocking this mommy gig and needs to know that!

And now I shall leave you with these amazing moments of cuteness…
