Time

I honestly don't mind the whole "loss" of sleep thing with daylight savings. What annoys me is the feeling that you don't have a day to begin with. Today the kids [i.e. Lilly] woke up at 8:35 (7:35). Not awful, not great. Worse because Paco and I didn't go to bed until 2(3) am. oy. I didn't do the math on that one before. That's not much sleep really! The day went by pretty quickly but not as seemingly fast as it could have felt. Luckily both kids were pooped out enough that they went to bed at their 'normal' time without any problems. We'll see what this means for tomorrow morning. I will NOT be a happy mommy if Lilly wakes up at 5am or something. Hopefully she can at least keep herself under control and avoid waking Edison AGAIN.

One thing I definitely want more of is time. I would be so happy for a 3 day weekend here or there. Three day with Paco I mean. Obviously I cam capable of caring for our children... I believe I kind of have to be at this point... but it runs smoother when he is here just because I feel like I am able to excuse myself for a few minutes to go check something or try to accomplish some task that is much easier sans children under foot. One thing we worked on was trying to clear some clutter. We at least tried to my sake a plan to clear some clutter anyway. My brother is going to pretty much permanently borrow our 2 bin laundry sorter, something we haven't been able to find a place for since Edison came along. We also are donating a million and five packing peanuts to a mail place. I offered up my breast milk storage bottles on the FB for sale page because I figure I should pass that along to someone who can use them. Breast milk storage bottles are expensive and I'm lucky I had a full stock from the NICU. I went through a few small toys I will post for sale and sold the activity jumper. I desperately need to go through the kids clothes and decide once and for all whether or not I am doing a one day garage sale or trying to divide it all up and do the internet thing. I am leaning towards a one day garage sale and then managing the leftovers. Anyway... point being... we just have so much stuff and not enough storage space for it but I don't feel like I have the time to go through it all.

A funny/ interesting thing happened at the gym tonight. I had just started on the treadmill and another girl started running on the one next to me. Here I was doing my 5 minute warm up walk and then started on my 5 speed mile run. The girl next to me: 6.5 speed. I slowed to walking and put it at a super high incline for 10 minutes then started on a second mile. I walked the last 8 minutes. So, when I stopped the girl who had been running crazy fast and running the WHOLE time asked me how far I ran and at what speed and if I used an incline and was all excited and encouraging. It was really nice and kind of odd. She asked if I had lost any weight doing the running so I told her and again she said that is great and keep up the fantastic work. Then when I was getting my shoes on by the cubicles another guy who frequents the weight lifting side asked how my workout went and how my run was. I am just now realizing this completely contradicts my comment yesterday about no one paying any attention to me and my running/workout at the gym... hmmmm... great now a complex will form. I just thought it was funny that two different people commented on my run. So I have 3 theories as to what this means: 1. People actually noticed I have started running as opposed to my routine the last 2 months of walking. 2. I look damn good and people are impressed. 3. I look like a fat pile and people are amazed I can actually run for any length of time. I like to think it is NOT the latter...
