Starting the week off with a kidney stone could have been a sign that life was about to shift. The obvious sign that I need to start paying closer attention to my body was the first one. By refocusing on my health kick goal from New Years, I'll be sure to take a vitamin everyday and eat a little healthier so that a calcium deficiency never beats me up again. Pregnancy & breastfeeding aren't exactly easy on women. Besides the pain, I have decided to quit slacking and really work to get the baby weight off. In January, I talked the talk and seriously thought about it, but have failed to follow through. Yes - I sadly admit that I am the same weight that I was at the 6 week check-up. Exercise hasn't been the problem. I have been turning to sugar highs to combat lack of sleep. Fortunately, Jordan is finally improving with help from cereal.
Another change that I can't go into too much detail about, started with a phone call Monday night. I was offered a job working part-time from home doing something I know all about. The additional income will help with money things that have been on my mind like saving for college, 401k, a new vehicle for me in the future, mortgage payment, decent furniture, and life in general. It is just the amount of money that I figured would give us breathing room.
Because of that call, I have had to jump into action. I am making To Do Lists everyday to catch up on things that have been neglected. Getting them done now will help make working easier. I have also researched and found a good little mother's day out program for Lexi to start in the Fall. I am actually excited about it. She'll be going 2 half days a week. That should give me enough time to speed through work while entertaining Jordan. An evening or Saturday/Sunday may be necessary as well, but we'll see.
We'll I am off to go to playgroup and then run more errands ... Have a great weekend!
