losing weight

Losing weight after having a baby SUCKS. If you’ve been there, you know what I’m
talking about. I’m now to the stage
where my “fat pants” are getting too big for me but I still don’t fit into the
majority of my old pre-pregnancy pants.
I am still losing weight and plan to try and get back to my old size so
I don’t want to spend money on new pants just for them to not fit me in a month
or two. But then again, what if I can’t
lose any more weight… Tough
decisions. So right now I’m living with
wearing pants that are either too big or ones that I can’t button and I have to
use the rubber band trick. I’m proud to
say that I only have about 11 more pounds to go. This seems like a lot to some women but I am
somewhat embarrassed to say that I gained 63 pounds with my little one. He was worth every single pound but that was
a lot of weight to gain for my small frame.
52 pounds down, 11 to go.

new car
Edit This
After years (yes years) of bugging
my husband to buy a new car and about a year of actually looking and more
serious nagging about buying a new "used" car (due to having a baby) we finally bought
one!!! Phil was very specific on what he
wanted and there aren’t very many out there in our price range. We ended up buying a Mini Cooper S. It is a very small car but that’s what the
hubby likes. His old car is a Del Sol
which is even smaller and the reason he needed a new one is because: A. it’s a
POS that could die at any moment; and B. it didn’t have a back seat for
Remy. We brought our car seat with us to
test it out and it seems like it will fit just fine! That was pretty much my only concern about
the car. If this were my car and I’d
have to haul Remy in it every single day I wouldn’t enjoy it. It seems like it will be more of a pain to
get him in and out but Phil won’t be driving him around much and my vehicle is
the primary vehicle when we go places.
As long as he fits comfortably then I’m happy. Since it fit I said wrap it up, let’s take it
home today. After some “negotiating” we
came to an agreement and took it home with us!
I am extremely pleased to have this ordeal done with and we are now the
proud owner of two reliable vehicles! I
can’t wait to take it out for a spin!!

vent day
Edit This
Today’s vent is that I don’t get to
spend enough time with my boy during the work week. If I’m lucky I get 30-45 minutes with him in
the morning before daycare and then when we finally get home at night I get
about an hour and 15 minutes with him because he’s been going to bed at 7 p.m.
lately. Working full time is very
difficult. I just make sure to take
advantage of my weekends with him! I don’t
ever like going somewhere without him!

Winston
Edit This
Ugh, so Winston has yet ANOTHER ear infection. He has had so many in the last 2 years that I lost count a long time ago. I figured it was because he's the runt of the litter and he's just going to be a problem child forever. I asked a lady at work what she thought because her hubby is a vet and she said he probably has a food allergy. I would have never thought of that! She said some dogs have food allergies and will get lots of ear infections, skin rashes, eye infections, etc. Winston gets all of those things all the time. She said it may be the corn, wheat, dairy, or something else but switching his food might do the trick. Cheap dog food (which is what he eats) is high in those crappy ingredients. So, I picked up some expensive dog food yesterday to see if that does the trick. If it works then great! It sucks that it's so expensive but it will probably be cheaper than more vet bills and medications! Let's hope that does the trick!

vent day
Edit This
Well, I suppose I should get back to my vent day now that I’m
back to work and things are back to normal.
Now that I get out of the house more I have plenty of things to vent
about. ;)
Today’s vent goes out to Ms. Crabbypattie whom I have to see
on almost a daily basis. Every single
day you are crabby as a bear and you complain about EVERYTHING. It sucks to be around you and have to speak
to you. I will go out of my way to not
have to speak to you. There is absolutely
no reason why you need to be such a grumpy butt. If you’re unhappy, change it. Your happiness is in your hands. You don’t need to bring the entire world down
with you.
