Day Four

"How precious are Your thoughts to me...How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand..." (psalm 139:17-18)

Tj and I are reading a great new book, it's called "The Love Dare." Each day there is a new "dare" that we do, as a couple. Day four's dare was: "contact your spouse during the business of the day. Have no agenda other than asking how he or she is doing, and if there is anything you could do for them."

Every night we read the Dare for the next day, and when the next day rolls around, we make sure and work on what we read. We're learning to respect one another more, help one another more, love and be more considerate of one another. It's kind of funny that a book could help someone out the way it has us-and we're not even half way through!

Marriage and being a parent, it's the hardest job in the world. No one prepares you for it, it's not like they really can... And sometimes you feel like you are being pulled in a thousand different directions, your husband or wife should be the one that keeps you centered. For a while, I lost sight of my center-many people, and things, along with this book have helped me find that center again, Tj.

Just Waiting...

So, it's 11 pm and here I am-just waiting an appointment online; here's the catch, I have to wait until midnight...ugh! They really want to make sure you want/need those appointments!lol

I am going to try and get my thyroid checked out. My great friend Amber (in florida, not cali-lol) mentioned something about doing it. After she had her daughter, she lost weight, and then gained a lot of it back-she was also really sluggish, and her hair came out in clumps...All of which I am experiencing-the one that bothers me the most, is you guessed it-the weight! I'm curious to see how much I weigh in at tomorrow, since i've been playing volleyball for about a month anyway.

I know that i'm not the only one who has problems loosing weight after a baby...I'm just not used to looking like I do, i'm also worried about my milk supply. I tried to cut back calories for a few days, and my supply went down enough for me to notice-i didn't have a good let down for two days...oi

I also started running again last night. Man it feels good!-for the most part...This morning when i woke up, I was reminded of a few things-I'm not as young as I used to be, and i should have walked A LOT more before I came inside afterwards...oh boy!haha

I have been taking the girls with me when i run-the three of us need some exercise! I loop one of their leashes around the other, then tie another around my waist... I feel really great after I finish-i ran two miles last night, and pumped out another tonight... I think I am going to go out and find a leash that I can hook the both of them to, tomorrow. I know they have them, i'll have to do some investigating :)

We were in KC last week, and while we were out boppin around, we went into a Hot Topic (for giggles) and one of the guys that worked there gave me a business card for his wife's business. She has a cloth diaper business! She makes her own diapers, covers, AND she travels to lawrence and topeka to deliver and pick up new/dirty diapers!! I wish there was someone here in town that did that! Gosh, that would make my life so much easier!! I think I might google it and see what i come up with!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Love-moi
