Thursday, August 28

Well I have some good news.  I finally feel like Mike and I are back on track.  I don't know how or why, but something just clicked and it feels like the slump is over.  Maybe I just needed to feel like I could say things and I do now.  I don't like biting my tongue, it feels like lying.  With Mike at least.

So things are good.  I'm super tired.  I've been relying on caffeine all day for a while now, but I drink tea into the night and then I can't get to sleep.  So I need more caffeine the next day, and the cycle continues.  Drinking a fuzzy navel tonight, so I'll be asleep shortly.

Mike and I joined a gym today.  I said something the other night about trying to start going to the Y again.  Rachel is old enough now that she can go without freaking out, and Spencer is always up for playing with new toys.  So yesterday, I went to check out this new gym instead of the new Y.  I really liked it.  I called Mike and he stopped by on his way home from work and really liked it too.  I checked out two other gyms this morning, just to be sure.  Gawd, they were awful.  Really awful.  I guess they hit their niches, but the guy at the hips/trendy place told me how much every machine cost practically.  I don't want to buy it and expensive doesn't always mean good.  But that's their niche.  The other was next to a Wal-Mart.  And it fit in there perfectly :oP.  So we went with the first and signed up today.  The kids were at 3 different child watch centers, one twice.  They did well though.  

Rachel has dropped her morning nap, so that opens up a couple hours in the morning, we can start to go workout before playgroups or whatever plans we have.  Let the weight loss begin lol.

I think that's about it.  Rachel decided that one day of trying to walk was enough, and is back to crawling.  Spencer's speech is coming along, but I think he's getting his two year molars, so he's been up early, not napping long and just in a funk the last few days.  Mike is doing well.  I don't know if I noted it, but the doc took him off the a/d's (finally!!  Thank god!!!) but doubled his anti-anxiety meds.  Whatever he's doing, it's working because Mike seems to be in better moods more often and able to come back to a good mood after something bad happening.  He's also been really involved in the kids, not just being near them, but being with them.

I'm exhausted and off to bed.  Later!
