Taking Time for a Few Words....

This week I have been inundated with things to keep my busy in the mornings. If I'm not buzzing around trying to keep the house picked up for some expected New York State Daycare Inspector, then I'm busy doing daycare paperwork, replacing broken childlocks that I just keep forgetting about (I have a terrible memory for things that aren't important; even for things that are important sometimes!), or just trying to do things around my whiny baby son, who has been rising before the sun; and feels it's his duty to have all of his mama's attention in the morning (he's not so good about sharing the computer with his mama!) When I went to my sister's blog this am I truly felt guilty for my inadequate posts, especially now when she has moved away and the only form of contact is the phone or blog (except for an occasional lettter from the postman of course!)

In any case, my daycare inspector hasn't arrived yet; I think she is waiting to catch me off guard to see what violations she might beseech upon me (In reality, she seems like a NICE lady- I just tend to be paranoid that she might find things I'm doing wrong, and I don't want that at all- no matter how trivial or minor they might be)

I have also been spending much time absorbing the warmth and glow of the sunshine. We've been going on daily walks here, and weather permitting, I am meeting my friend Nikki at Hickories Park today with my babies, and hers (her own and one she takes care of) for some walking, playing, and picnicing! I hope the weather holds out for us because I heard something about cooler temperatures, and possible showers :( I saw a recent photo of myself and am so disgusted in what I've become- I am bigger than I ever have been in my lifetime and it isn't good. I am hoping that with my daily walks this will help not only turn some of my fat back to muscle, but also help my self-esteem a little. I am thankful for my husband, who never puts me down about my weight, and loves me as I am- I would sink into a deep depression if he didn't want me, but he does and for that I am eternally grateful. In the meantime, hopefully now that the weather has turned I can take baby steps to becoming more healthy and fit again!

This weekend I was supposed to go up to my grandparents' home to visit for the weekend. I was sad to hear that I am going to have to postpone my trip once again. Every time I tell them to write it on the calender, my grandmother in particular doesn't feel well enough to have visitors and in my selfishness I feel sad that I have to continue postponing our visit. I love spending time with them, and was only going to bring Samuel with me so that it wasn't too much for them, but it appears that what I am going to have to do is get a hotel room for one night, so that I can visit with them, but when they get tired I can go off to the hotel room so they can rest. I do understand it is a lot for them and I don't want to be a burden to them, but I want to spend time with them while I can and I want Samuel to have a remembrance of spending time with them too! Samantha and Wayne are older and will remember better than Samuel who is so little.

Well, my daycare kids are all here now, so I suppose I'd best get going now. I'll try to do better about posting more regularly :) Have a good weekend all!
