Pedometer

I wore my pedometer all day yesterday.  I STILL didn't reach 5000!  Even after walking on the treadmill.  UGH.  Then we had a rough night last night.  Little man got hurt late yesterday and I KNOW it had to have hurt.  He scraped his chin pretty bad and it rubbed the skin off of one finger.  I was pretty mad.  No, not at him.  At my husband.  Why?  Well, you see, he fell ON MY TREADMILL.  My husband actually let my BABY crawl on the treadmill while it was ON and he fell.  I could've throttled him!!!  I know he feels bad because he was really trying to just let oldest on and then let youngest do it for just a min., but still.  Sometimes I feel like he doesn't think.  He feels horrible about it, but I was LIVID last night.  I managed to keep my temper in check until he left and then I called my Mom to unleash.  I felt better after talking to her about it.  I know crap happens, it's just that sometimes I wish he would stop and think about things a bit before he just goes and DOES it.  I didn't want to blow up at him last night because it was POURING the rain and he had to get to work.  I didn't want him speeding and angry driving down the interstate in the rain.  He did say this AM that he is going to try to see the danger in things before he does them.  I know it's hard for him -- he's a male and well, both our kiddos are male.  So, many times he acts just like a kid with them and does things I would never do.  But the fact that he is boyish is part of his charm.  He never acts like he's too old or 'grown' to play with his kids.... or even me.  The fact that he is playful and fun makes a huge difference in our relationship.  I couldn't be married to someone who didn't have a playful side.  Anyways, crap happens, we're all over it now, and youngest seems to be ok.  I think he was uncomfortable some last night, but he did finally sleep in.  I doubt he will be napping today he slept in so late.

After being up so late, I ended up forgetting to put my pedometer back on early this AM.  So, now I'm sure I'm missing at least a couple of hundred.  Just the walk to the bus stop is a good amount!  But I have put it on now and have been wearing it.  I got over 1000 steps at Wally!  LOL  No wonder... I needed stuff from all over the place.  LOL  But oh well, at least I'm wearing it and trying.  :)  Not sure if I will get to walk today since youngest more than likely won't nap.  He didn't fall asleep in the car on the way home, we have no eye rubbing, AND he's up laughing and playing so I am going to assume that a nap isn't happening today.  Which is fine.  I'd rather there be no nap and go to bed on time than a late nap and then he won't go to bed.  I am hoping that his finger is ok enough to not be too bothersome to him tonight.  I got some new bandages and I've been trying to keep it clean and at least rub a bit of ointment on it.  He doesn't seem all that bothered by them... but they look red and mad.  :(  I just hope the one on his chin doesn't scar up.  I'm just going to let them be and do what I can and if the doesn't show improvement in a couple of days, I plan on taking him to the Dr. to have them looked at to be safe.  But for now, he seems ok.

I have decided to take my hair back dark.  I was tempted to go to red and tempted to try all other sorts of things, but in the end, I am going back to soft black or dark brown.  I have both colors.  But I think I am just over the red phase for a bit.  I may go back to it at a later date, but for now I just want something a bit easier.  Not that the red was all that hard, but it did seem like it was fading faster and faster and well, I'd rather not re-color for fade and only re-color for touch-ups.  Besides, I've had the red hair for a couple of years now so change is good.  :)  Come Spring, I may do some blonde or copper highlights.  I am actually thinking of doing heavy stripping before I put the brown/black on so that if I do highlights later, it won't pull so much red.  That or using the shampoo I have for removing brassiness from blonde hair for about a week before I color.  That way, it will pull out a lot of the red.

Other than that, I am trucking on.  My weight this AM was still 197.0, but with Tom being here, I'm not really surprised.  I don't expect to see it move down any until day 4.  At that point, then I will get to really see where I am headed.  Although, I must admit I don't feel nearly as bloaty as I normally do.  I feel pretty normal other than the lower back pain that IS normal for me.  So, I guess we will see.  I would really like to see like, 194.0 come Sunday.  Lower would be better, but I want to be realistic.  So, 194.x is what I am hoping for.  Really 194.0.  LOL

I guess this is all for today ladies.  Sorry I'm not commenting much, but I've not been getting many comments either so I'm guessing we're all pretty darn busy and doing good to just write ours up and read them.  And then some of them, well, I just don't know what on earth to say!  Does that make sense?  Ok, well, I am going to jump off of here for now and attempt to eat some lunch.  I am STARVING right now and I have some leftovers screaming my NAME!  And if hubby ever gets up, I should run to the store.  FUN.  Tonight I plan on a big salad, but we will see.  Laters!
