Good

I FINALLY got some good sleep last night!  So, I am feeling better today.  Not sure what to do with it today, but I am VERY happy not to feel so zombie like.  We went back to our regular schedule yesterday and well, he slept almost through the night.  I think the old schedule may have been a pain, but at least for the most part it worked.  So, I guess that is what we will stick with.  Either way, I am feeling MUCH better and glad that I was finally able to get some rest.  Did I mention we didn't get up until 9?  So, yeah, I've not even been up an hour!  LOL  Unusual for sure.  If I hadn't been so tired, I'd have just stayed up after I got oldest to school.  If he continues to sleep like this, I may actually be able to start working out in the AM.  :D

Thanks for the comments andly!  I do feel sometimes like I should be perky and positive.  Mostly because, well, if I'm not in a positive mood, seems like no one is.  You know the old saying if Momma ain't happy... it's very true in our house!  So, I try to keep up a positive outlook and mood even if I don't always feel it.  Fake it till ya make it and all that jazz!  Most days, it works and I end up making the best of whatever is there.  However, there are times when I just can't get it together.  Yesterday was one of those days.  Exhaustion does weird and terrible things to me.  I get weepy and morbid and sad.  BLEH.  Not how I like to feel AT ALL!  Very glad to feel a bit better today and not so down!

I still didn't weight this AM though.  I think I will just wait and do my weigh-in on Sunday as usual.  I've somewhat made a plan for our outings and things, and they involve attempting to be prepared.  Thursday, for the pumpkin patch, we're going to eat before we go.  I'm actually going to go ahead and have everything ready before I even pick oldest up.  We're going to eat, pack a snack with us, and then head out.  I plan on taking my big bottle of water.  We're going to play and run around and have all kinds of fun!  I plan on eating fairly light for the day before we go.. well, light on cals.  But hopefully lots of fruit and veg.  That way if we DO end up getting something there (mmmm... fresh cider!) then I have the cals for them.  :)  I am thinking of making a crockpot meal for that night or some sort of casserole so that it's ready to eat when we get home.  For Friday, I volunteered to do the story, so I won't have to deal with the food!  :D  The party is early, so I won't have to be faced with it.  Not to mention, most of the foods/snacks they asked for were healthy varieties.  For that night... well... I think I will just not eat anything while we are walking around.  Then when we get in, I may allow myself a couple of pieces.  I don't think a couple of pieces of candy will hurt me too much.  Besides, progress not perfection.  :)  I want to still enjoy life, ya know?  We're even dressing up -- I decided since the hair came out black to be an old fashioned witch!

So, that's the plan!  Not sure what will be going on Sat.  My parents talked about coming up for a visit, but we will see.  I thought about going down there if they don't come up here, but it sounds like they are going to be busy.  I should probably do something this weekend!  LOL  Lots of stuff going on in our area so we will see.

Well, I guess that's it for now.  It's almost 11 now (I stopped to eat and feed youngest!), so I really should go and get started with some housework.  I am also thinking about working on at least one project today.  The supplies are already here, so it wouldn't be too bad.  I also need to make a couple of phone calls and order the stair rugs.  Fun fun.  Hope you ladies are having a great week!
