I have good news!! We have dates for when the new windows will be put in. The last week in November. Yes, that's right folks, the three days right before Thanksgiving. OY. I thought it would be only one day, but no, it's three. I thought, gee I could tote the kids around for one day to keep them out of the workers hair, but three? So it's off to my MIL for the week. We were going to their house for Thanksgiving anyway, now the kids and I will be there earlier. It'll be fun, I'm sure. I just don't think it would be a good idea to have a 2 month old around all that dust, it's sure to be cold (I mean they have to take the old ones out anyway) and where would I find privacy to nurse around all those men? So I'm packing everyone up and taking them down to Grandmom's. I love my mother in law. She's the best. Plus she'll have help for Thanksgiving.

Rhys is growing, I'm putting his 0-3 month clothing away today and taking out the *gasp* 3-6 month stuff. We were given so much clothing it's not funny. He could wear a new outfit each day for a month and I wouldn't have to do laundry. But that would be an awful lot of laundry, so I will. Plus I love doing laundry. I don't know why, just some sort of satisfaction with putting dirty clothes in the washing machine and having it do the work. The olden days, bah, I love my washing machine.

I've been running for two weeks and it feels good. Well not this week. We are all catching up on sleep lost from last week. I'm so tired. I just need to get my butt in bed earlier. There is no reason to stay up, Rhys has been in bed for hours and I could've too. But hey, it's my time. I need that. Anyway, I measured myself last night (and this morning, did you know that can make the difference in the abdomen by 1 inch?) and I need to loose 8 inches off my abdomen, 3 off my hips and .5 off my thighs. Everything else is the same. Well, except the obvious, but they won't go down until much much later. So far, no pounds have come off, well they've come off and then gone back on. You know, loose a pound, gain it back. Probably water. Grrr. So I just keep on keeping on. That's all I can do. It seems I don't loose weight, I mean really get it off until I start restricting calories. I can't do that. I don't want to compromise Rhys' health. So I won't start really dieting until he's good on solids. Probably 9 months or so. I am watching what I am eating and after Thanksgiving I will start logging what I am eating just so I am accountable, but I can't do the big cutting of calories till later. Oh well. It will come off. And hopefully with just exercise, eating right and nursing it will naturally come off.

Well off to find some good ab exercises. Sigh.
