Weigh-in Wednesday and Shredding Day 3

Alternate post title: “Saj and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day”

Let me preface this by saying that there were some definite highlights to today, but they’re being overshadowed by the lowlights. Let’s start with the positive: * It’s sunny and in the low 50’s-a lovely spring day in southeastern Wisconsin * My dear, […]

You Capture: Week 6-Spring

Well, spring officially started almost two weeks ago. We had a couple of nice days. These started showing up:

They were so happy to see the light!

And then last weekend, we got this:

And then it looked like this:

And this:

Luckily, the snow has mostly melted. There are still […]

Trying some new motivation

Okay, so I’m not very pleased with my body lately. I know I’ve already talked about this lately, but it’s definitely been on my mind about 17.5 hours a day (just not when I’m sleeping). I recently ordered a book and a DVD from Amazon.com that is supposed to help with my diastasis. The book […]

No dice

This morning, I called the open enrollment coordinator who was out of the office for the past two days. I got her voice mail again! But I left a voicemail, and she called back a few minutes later. Noah is 29th on the waiting list-for 12 spots. “You should probably think about some other options.” […]

Mom’s Day

Yesterday at Noah’s school, it was “Mom’s Day.” The moms are invited to stay at school for the first 45 minutes. Noah’s class sang us two songs: “We Love our Mommies” (sung to the tune of “Where is Thumbkin”) and “I Had a Little Turtle”. Then we had a snack served on placemats that the […]

Geez

I am really uninspired tonight. It very well could be because I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night. It could also be because I keep reading other blogs and feel somewhat inadequate compared to them. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t taken any pictures for the past couple of days and I’m […]

Caden’s memory

So, my three-year-old appears to have a pretty lousy memory. I use the word “appears” because I think it has more to do with his priorities than anything else.

For instance, you could ask him what he had for lunch two hours ago, and he may not remember, probably if it was something he […]

What happened here?

I’m finally calming down. It’s amazing what DVR’d American Idol and Survivor can do for some mental health!

For Lent, I gave up raising my voice to the boys (I know, it’s really supposed to be a sacrifice of something you enjoy, and I definitely don’t enjoy raising my voice, but I do it a […]

Two a-holes in southeastern Wisconsin

This afternoon, we were driving home from Andy’s parents’ house and we observed two pretty unbelievable incidents, one more a-hole-ish than the other.

Just after we pulled out of the driveway, we saw a car coming toward us, and it looked like the driver had just opened his door-as he was driving. We then saw […]

Venting

So today, my self-esteem is a steaming pile of crap.

It started this morning at work. Last February, I joined our company “WIN” program (I think it’s for Wellness Initiative something-or-other). Today, I went in to recheck my blood work, blood pressure, weight, and checklist of other things like exercise habits, tobacco use (or lack […]
