So I just watched Ellen as I do most days. Some days I'll watch two, cause I DVR it and I love her. She just makes me laugh and laughing is so important! I realize that if I am going to have rolls and old stretch mark scars it's not that big of a deal because I have JOY!
I did not go to work today because... well there are a couple reasons.
#1 was that Owen was coughing a lot during the night - the kind of cough that you don't want your 6 month old to be uttering ever.
#2 was because the secretary at work that takes our calls when we call in for a sub called back after I had called her cell phone and hung up (I thought it was a sign that calling in to stay at home with your baby is legit!)
#3 I wanted some q.t. with Owen
I think #3 was really the most important - I feel that sometimes I put my work before my family and I need to keep my family at the top of my priority list!
Which brings me back to JOY - Dancing has always brought me joy and I should really do it more often because it is a GREAT work out! Tonight Logan and I did just that - we danced to Shakira whom I love and it was just wonderful. Dancing with Logan was almost as good of a work out as running around the park this afternoon - that was crazy tiring. Go do that if you need a work out - play tag with a (almost) six year old!
And if you still want more joy - go to your son's six month appointment and realize that you are only 23lbs away from your goal weight... finally in the one sixties!
What next? I've been thinking about this - I need a goal like the Race for the Cure had been... any ideas?
