Diary of a Mad Fat Woman

Tonight my stepdaughter is going to play Molly when her school group performs “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from Annie. In preparation, we have watched Annie 17 times. And played all the “special features” games on the CD.

It is history repeating, because I had that soundtrack as a RECORD when I was a kid and sang to it nonstop. I have not forgotten the words in the 20 years since I’ve seen it.

I love you, Miss Hannigan!

Today I got to go with my wonderful SIL to her first ultrasound. She is a high-risk pregnancy because she has PKU. You can learn more about PKU here. Interestingly, this means that she follows an ultra-low protein diet. Pretty much the exact opposite of what I’m trying to do.

Anyway, this is baby #2 for her. Baby #1 is my adorable 13 month old niece. That woman is going to be BUSY.

At 10 weeks, the baby looks like a jumbo shrimp with a large nose. It has been nearly 8 years since I’ve done this and I think I can finally say that I’d like to do it again. I think I want to have another baby. Yikes! I really thought I was done. But being committed to getting healthy has reminded me that I might feel well enough to handle pregnancy again. A revelation. A scary one.

(Don’t tell my husband, btw or he’ll have me up against a wall in no time. Good thing he likes my fine fat arse.

Two sugar-free jello cups for dessert. One cherry, one black cherry. Because one just isn’t enough.
