The new me.
It's 7:26am the sun hasn't even bothered getting up yet, but I am at the gym. This new me is so unlike the old me sometimes I'm not so sure what to do with her!

Happy New Year!
The boys made it to midnight just as they did last year. It's impressive to me since I didn't make it till midnight in the midst of a party in which most years I collapsed on the floor in whatever room I happened to be standing in, until I was 10 years old. At 7 and 4 they have me pretty beat.
The last 8 minutes were excruciating for 4. Poor baby. He couldn't wait to go to bed and yet he's still awake.
He's not had the greatest of days. Four woke up this morning with hives. I've yet to figure out just what did it. I had purchased some new clothes for him which I didn't wash before allowing him to wear them, but this isn't unusual and he's never had hives before. I've been trying to think of everything he's ate and what not. Bless his heart he looks awful and the Benadryl the doctor told me to use has put him in the most horrible mood.
He's cried today because:
"Mommy, I miss Christmas, Christmas all gone now."
"Bubby _____ (Insert any of the following: hit me, touched me, breathed on me, wouldn't go away...)!"
"Mommy, you hate me."
"Mommy, I want two cookies, I don't want dinner, two cookies, and two cupcakes, I'm too full for dinner."
It's hard to believe it's 2010. Sometime about March I'll get used to saying 2010. Here's to a better year!

I'm back!
I know your thinking I've fallen off the face of the planet, I haven't been around for shoot, a month, two?
Actually I'm doing better than ever at this new way of life thing. Three weeks ago I joined a gym. No crap. And hired a personal trainer. Who is a male version of Jillian off of biggest looser. He pushes me, till I think I'll surely die. Lying RUNNING up 5 flights of stairs, by the time I get to the top, not only do my legs feel like rubber and those last few steps are like nearly impossible to make, but I also Can Not Breath for coughing up my lungs. Ah, fun! Really it kinda is, and I'm kinda getting used to the way my body hurts the morning after.
I've lost weight, but I don't know how much, I'm only allowed to weigh with the trainer, and at first I have to wait six whole weeks before I can weigh with him again, then about every 3 weeks after that. I know I've lost because my clothes aren't fitting and yesterday I went to buy a dress for the Christmas dance, and I tried on the 2x I was wearing and it's a tent. So, I ended up buying a LARGE!!!
A few weeks before I joined the gym, I had a bad bike accident. I flipped the bike and could have hurt one of my kids, (thank GOD I took the force when he flipped over on ME)and well, my older kid was watching, and I realized that well. I needed to do something else.
The babies are older now and while they don't sleep through the night they only wake up once, sometimes twice, which is better than every single hour someone being up! Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and the day after I'm participating in a boot camp. Yes. I'm crazy!
Anyway, I'll be reading up on all of you when I get the chance!

Sunday Slimdown with Bloggest Loser 3.0
I weighed this morning and haven't lost or gained since last week so I'm not taking a picture.
It's been a hard week for various reasons.
Maybe I'll share later, maybe not, but to say anything now would disrespect my friends loss.
Paula (My friend Marti's mom) died yesterday morning. Only 62.
My heart is sad for my friend.
