Just another update

This is another one of those situations where I have thought of something [probably mundane and boring] to post about everyday but haven't.  Either I can't remember or it has lost relevance. You can jump for joy now, but not too much because we all know how chatty I can get. Hey, don't blame me! Blame the complete lack of adult conversation in my life!

Monday night was hysterical. Paco stayed up later than usual, I guess, and was really tired. (((NOTE: grrr, I had put this in my phone so I wouldn't forget the whole thing but the darn thing deleted it, so it might not be as cohesive as intended... still funny though))) Okay, so I started a 'conversation' because something popped into my mind.
Me: "I need to organize the boxes of kids clothes and get them out of the living room"
Paco: "Well then take the crayons out of the bed!"
Me: "WHAT?!?"
Paco: ".... Whoa, I was hallucinating there... I saw crayons and colored pencils in the bed.... I'm tired."
Me: "yeah, ya think? go to sleep."

Okay, so it was funnier at the time. When I actually make it to bed at the same time as Paco, few and far between these days, we have the best conversations. Usually we just end up laughing so hysterically that's a wonder the kids don't wake up.

It's things like the above that I need to keep me sane. I was pretty bummed starting off the week because instead of losing my 1.5 pounds I needed to I went up .4 pounds. It's the whole "yeah yeah, half a pound, big deal" situation but it bothered me more than it should have. This is mostly because I let little things get to me and partly because it is just a constant reminder that I will ALWAYS have to struggle with weight. Even when I am legitimately trying or have a 'slip up' in eating I will gain weight fast. It took Monday and Tuesday but I am finally over it and working my butt off to lose three pounds this week to meet the goal I set for myself. If it wasn't for a really solid goal for Sunday I wouldn't have minded as much either. Three pounds is lofty, but I think I can do it. I upped my water intake which I probably needed to do anyway. Last night I ran two and a half miles and felt a lot better than I usually do. I often get a pain under my right rib (gall bladder?) that subsides after I get into a rhythm. Last night it never even started to hurt. So I am thinking the increased water is good all around. SAD too, I was already drinking more than most people and the minimum that is 'required'. I'm fairly certain I had at least 120 ounces yesterday, probably more.

Other things are going pretty well. Lilly and Edison have both been going nuts the past couple of days. I blame the almost full moon. Lilly is just plain belligerent and refuses to listen to me. Edison is just a boy. We are doing an Easter egg hunt with the playgroup pals and we are really looking forward to that. I love getting to see my friends which is something that hasn't happened nearly enough as of late and the kids NEED the social interaction. It is just so fun that they have all been friends since the age of one. They really do all love each other. I think it is great that all of the seconds were born around the same time (three of them all within three weeks of each other thanks to Edison's early arrival). I took the kids to an Easter egg hunt a couple weeks ago and Edison had no interest in the eggs, he just wanted to run... toward the street. We'll see if today changes his thoughts on the whole thing since we are going to another one on Saturday with my dad and step mom.

Well I suppose I should make myself look presentable for the day. I have sold a couple other small things on the FB for sale page and people are coming to pick it up later. It's only $7.50 but hey, I'll take it! After condensing those boxes of clothes into tubs I desperately need to go ahead and have that garage sale. SO MANY EDISON CLOTHES. I think he has more than Lilly did from 0-12months. He got a lot more as gifts than Lilly did. Gotta start thinking about that and finding other things to sell besides baby clothes. It makes me sad to go through the clothes and then sell them but it's not like I can [read: should] have more kids. sigh. Plus money is money!
