Friday Random Thoughts

It is friday, not sure how much randomness is in my head but we'll see

--Despite my good intentions, i did not pack my gym bag this morning, which means I will have only made it to the gym once this week...urgh!!! What is my problem!!! Next week is a new week and I will make it there 3 days....but I did eat MUCH better this week and feel less bloated etc than I did earlier in the week...so i guess that is good

--I am thinking it is time to push it with iz and her potty training..her size 5 diapers are getting too small and for some reason i refuse to buy the size 6's.....i know she can handle it, i just need to suck it up and do it. DH is going out of town for 5 days the week after next and I am thinking I will start teh aggressive potty training then..less stressful on me not to have him "helping me"..plus i read that in teh beginning it is better if one parent takes the lead...so starting Thursday either Sept 24, Izzy will be going diaper free other than naps....please keep me accountable on this!!! Don' t let me chicken out :)

--i have my first book club meeting next week, they are starting a book club in my subdivision...the first book was already assigned and I am finally getting into it...the first half was a little slow and predictable but the second half is much better, i hope to have it done this weekend...first meeting is Wednesday night.The book is called Patty Janes House of Curl...strange name for a book but it is a nice story about 2 sisters and the trials and triumphs they go through and it takes place in teh 50's. Kinda cool because i don't think i would have selected the book on my own so we will see if I like the book club meetings.

--Although there was a part of me a few weeks ago kinda bummed izzy wasn't old enough to start preschool this year..the more and more i think about it, the happier I am that I have another year with her in a unstructured manner....since she will most likely be our only child..i really need to charish every moment....she is growing up so fast that I can wait till next fall to have her go off to "school"

--I am afraid Izzy is going to have so many scars from picking her mosquito bites, this kid just picks and picks and picks her scabs so they get bigger and worse versus getting bigger. The only solution i have found so far is to put a bandaid on them but then if they stay covered up they don't heal quick either. I really don't know what to do. She also still has a spot on her back from a bite she got back in July, it was one of the few bites she couldn't pick at because of where it was located, but it has left a brown mark on her back. I am thinking about taking her into the doctor to have it looked at because I find it strange it would still be there 2 months later!!!! I don't know if part of it is from her darker skin and it is normal or if it is not normal...it is weird.

okay enough procrastinating on non-work stuff. not sure why i am not so motivated this week, must be a leftover of the great weekend.....hopefully i will have more drive at work next week....

I love your blog but I am not sure I have ever commented. I just had to say that the dark spot will fade. It does have to do with her darker skin color, it is just one of those things we have to deal with :) I love your daughter, she is truly adorable. Cherish every moment, it goes so quickly!

Btw, my daughter is white as could be and people are always trying to guess who she looks like, they never think that she was adopted though :) I think it's funny because she is lighter skinned then us people don't guess, but if she was darker, that would be the first place they would go. Silly...

Okay, sorry about the book, maybe I need to go and post a blog or something! Have a great weekend!!
