It rained. It was really nice. We got a ton done around the house but somehow never ended up feeling too stressed out about anything. The mother in law came over for a bit and played croquet and wasn't overly annoying and then we had a nice visit from a good friend who we don't see nearly often enough and her very sweet niece. Essentially drama free...
God--what DO I have to bitch about today??? I'm sure I'll come up with something a bit later.
I'm thinking it's time to talk to my doctor about cutting my work day short. Probably 5-6 hours, whatever I can get away with here. That will give me more time to help Suzie transition into her new school routine (lunches and daily bathing and that whole thing) as well as to hopefully get some yoga in in the mornings. Full 9 hour work days plus taking care of the fam are just wiping me out. I know, I know, women do this EVERY day, all around the world, but I'm tired and I hurt and if the opportunity is there for me to do better for my family then I definitely want to take it.
Also, I'm wearing a new deodorant--I usually get unscented but couldn't resist the vanilla chai at the drugstore this time. Omg, it's so strong. I do absolutely smell like a damn latte. It's not unpleasant, just...different, I guess.
Oh yeah, and after my incredible 17 pound weight gain in the month of July, I do believe I've leveled off. Yea for no more lectures from my doctor!

zomg that's totally the deodorant I use!!! i bought it when i was about 30 weeks preggo.
also, i watched pretty in pink tonight and thought of you the whole time. you were so totally hottie molly ringwald in 1987. I also thought of "my car, my car, my karmann ghia!" It was a nice little walk down memory lane, with a side of psychadelic furs. sigh.
oh, and you know why women all over the world have been taking care of their families and working tons for centuries? Because they have to! Get all the time off you can!!! You totally deserve it.
