Friday Thoughts

It is friday and i feel like dumping some thoughts

-Izzy has been a bit of a handful this week, i think part of it was her paying us back for shipping her off for the weekend and the other part is just her being 2.5 and showing us what 2.5 yr old behavior can be. The early part of the week was FILLED with NO, NO, NO!!! and tantrums over STUPID stuff....like not wanting to even try 1 bite of meatballs (which i know she likes) and resulted in a huge crying fit that I actually had to leave the room for because I thought I was going to blow! and finally ended in her taking a bite and then saying a few minutes later when she was down from teh table "I like it!!!!" URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully the second half of the week was MUCH better but she is definately showing some serious independence and Sass!!! Please give me the strength to handle the behavior for the next 2 years, I hear 3 is even worse than 2!!!!

-I am going to DH's 20 yr hs reunion this weekend so that ought to be interesting, seeing that he is 6 yrs older than me and grew up in a different city i won't know too many people. I do know 2 of his friends and their wifes so that is good. I got teh cutest new dress from White House Black Market (never really shopped there before, holey dangerous!!! So much cute stuff but expensive) I hope i am not over dressed, i really dont' now how people will come. we will see

-no new news on potty training, it is hard for me because i know of so many different people with girls iz's age and they have all had such recent success...but I keep telling myself, every kid is different and I really feel like i need a month or so to give it a rest and then start over and be more consistent. I am planning on about end of september really pushing it, starting on a Thursday when I am home frome work, putting her in underwear (with no option) and being consistant all day, will ask my mom to do teh same on friday and then can continue to follow through Sat, Sun, and Monday since I don't work. For now, she goes when she wants too go (which is normally once a day or so) and other than that i am not pushing it...i really didn't like to see her hold it like that , i think it was really stressing her out

-i am loving that it is finally summer weather, too bad it is mid august!!! I haven't been to the Lifetime pool all summer!!!! Maybe we will go this weekend. I get overwhelmed to take iz to pool by myself, i know can do it but I also know she will wear me out in about an hour of chasing her non stop.

-i am trying to be better about eating better but it is so hard some days...i wish i could eat what i want and stay this size!!! I get on teh scale almost everyday just to make sure i am styaing in my"range" that i allow myself. When i see the morning number get to a certain point, i try to keep myself in check with the food (mostly the sweets and the alchohol that gets me) So far that seems to be working but we will see how long that continues. At some point i am giong to have to get back to working out regularly before it catches up with me...and before DH cancels my $66 a month gym membership that i haven't used in over a month!!!
