Feeling fat today. I know fat isn’t an emotion, but there you go. This all goes back to getting on the scale last Friday. I figured I could handle seeing some weight gain since Christmas. Apparently I couldn’t. It’s not much – and not even enough to see, really. Some of it could be due to the lovely and talented Aunt Flo who showed up last night. Or the fact I’m still working out like a maniac and adding muscle. Or maybe the pig-out sessions I keep engaging in every weekend. That must stop, because in 10 short weeks I must squeeze myself into a bathing suit to frolic in the sun and sand of the Dominican Republic. Fat and frolic don’t go together in my book.
Finished Breaking Dawn last night, and I’m glad I’m done with that series for now. The story was obviously good enough to hold my interest through four books, but the writing really was sub-standard and the Bella character annoyed me to no end. Plus the fact she left out all the good sex. I know the books are for 16 year olds so I can understand why. That doesn’t make me any happier.
I’m now in charge of organizing the Spring Carnival at my daughter’s elementary school. Not sure what exactly I was thinking. At the PAC meeting Tuesday night most of my suggestions were gently overruled by the sitting president. That’s fine, but seriously, if you’re just going to covertly run the thing yourself, why give me the job? Whatever – I’m sure it’ll work out fine. I plan on doing lots of delegating.
Hubby is away – again – as of tomorrow, this time for almost 10 days. A combination of me working a human being’s hours at work, my MIL sleeping over for 2 days, and my sister coming for a few days has us covered off. I lost it a little big with B when I found out all the travelling he’d have to do this spring. It’s getting harder for me to deal with, because even though HE’S the one travelling, I’M the one that ends up juggling things around to ensure someone’s actually at home at 3am when I go to work. Unfortunately leaving a 7 year old home alone is illegal. I can’t see why – she knows how to open the fridge and turn on the TV. What else do you need to know, really?
