Marathon Mom

A.M. weigh in: 165.6

I’m feeling better, my mojo may be back. I’m tentative about stating that, hoping not to jinx myself. But for the past few days I’ve felt more my old self again. Like something “clicked” in my brain. I’m trying not to over-analyze it right now, don’t want to risk clicking it back off again!!

Thanks to everyone for your kinds words and worry. Patty, I’d love to take you up on that offer but I fear you have far more to deal with than I do; and I should be the one offering to come out and help you take a load off… plus decorating a whole room with flip-flops! OMG I’d be in heaven!!

I’ll try to check in more often. Work has me away from the computer. Home is still mostly nursing sick kids, though two of the three are 99% better. Sean isn’t doing as well, what with the asthma complication; but he’s less peaked this morning and that gives me some hope that he’ll kick this thing by next week, if not the weekend.

And I admit, the computer time that I have had, has been spent reading The Julie/Julia Project blog - I’ve read about 5 months into it in the last two days and I’m totally addicted. The movie it inspired starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia is due out August 7th and I can not wait!! I also ordered the book Julie & Julia: My Year Of Cooking Dangerously off Amazon. It should be here next week, hopefully it will tied me over. Plus there’s the new Harry Potter next week, too. But when I get addicted to something it becomes all-consuming. This is not good. I’m a bit of an OCD, I’m afraid. I seriously need to figure out how to combine an elliptical and laptop - I could retire on the money from that little invention, I believe! And solve America’s obesity epidemic while I’m at it! Hmmm… I’m off to buy duct tape and a long extension cord!!
