Tired of labeling them UPDATE (that's what this is)

Today was weigh-in day....
Survey says down one.whole.pound.
"boooo"
I mean.... it's DOWN as opposed to UP but let me whine again about how it is soooo slow going.
This weekend was decent.
I drank (a lot) on Friday night, but that was it.
I wasn't able to keep up with my food journal on the two days, but I'm sure that I was at least in the range of my counts.
I've been thinking of "pay-offs" when I reach certain numbers.
I'm thinking at ten pounds I am going to use a groupon that Mike got me for some spa activities...

I finished a book this week (you saw that!) 1/100.
I ordered another one... Water for Elephants.

I've been pretty good at getting up early. It's not *easy* yet. Before I can cross this off my list, it needs to be easy and consistent. It's going to be a while before this is crossed off... but I have plenty of time.

I brought up the Mardi Gras idea to Mike. Basically saying "I wanna go". Turns out he does too! Conveniently it's right around tax season time...
Potential problems: I don't have vacation until May this year and I was wanting to use nearly all my refund to tackle debt.
It may happen this coming year or it may be a while down the road.

hmm... what else?

On a slightly different note -- the kids started going to a new sitter. I think I am just about as nervous about it as they are. Wesson screamed yesterday and also today.... it absolutely breaks my heart. It's just being in a new place because it could have happened anywhere he went. Also, I was feeling bad because I didn't really prepare him for some place different... but what could I have done with a child less then two??

Shawn seemed to like it, he was in a decent mood yesterday when I picked him up. I was a little scared that something new would bring out the beast in him, but it actually seemed to have a neutral effect - he was neither good nor bad yesterday evening.

He is going to meet his teacher for Title 1 today. I'm so hopping that this specific structure and new environment will do well for him. I'm worried about his first day, tomorrow, though as he has to be somewhere on his own for the first time. I can't read him well yet -- he could be nervous and he could also adjust well I can't tell.

Why am I nervous though? Geeze, it is such a mom thing!

Okay, that's all I have for now.
