Behind.....

I know I'm behind in posting pictures and such but I'm so tired. Aniston has been sick AGAIN. This time it was the stomach flu. Not fun when someone can't tell you they're going to vomit. She woke up Saturday morning at 4:30 sick and wasn't feeling well until around 2:00. She was her normal self after that. I was diligent in disinfecting everything as we went so Erik nor I would get the bug. Now it's Tuesday and she and I are both coughing and have runny noses AGAIN. Everyone with kids assures me they too were sick for about the first 5 years of their kids' lives. I guess I can chalk it up to having a kid in daycare. She has also been having nightmares. What a toddler can find to have nightmares about is beyond me. Maybe someone took her blankie or bottle or maybe Spongebob or Mickey was cancelled from tv....but it's beyond me. She usually has them around 10:00 pm but last night they seemed to persist for most of the night. She was scared to go back in her room and I finally convinced her around 2:30 am. I had to leave the lights on (thank you Erik for installing lights with a dimmer switch) and we had to rock or "wock" for 30 minutes before I could get her in her crib. So, I'm dragging this morning. I'm counting down the days to the weekend so I can nap. Saturday is Erik's birthday though so I will take Saturday and get up with her at 6:00 am. Erik will get Sunday and the little turkey seems to know it's daddy's day and will sleep in until 9:00 or so.

Erik had a HUGE interview with the Grant Co. PUD for a position at Wanapum Dam. He had it yesterday and said it went extremely well. Now we're waiting for the call. It's for an apprentice position in the field he's been going to school for and because his GPA is so high, they're trying to snag him before anyone else can since he graduates this summer. He's on the dean's list again and has been contacted, again, to join the Honor Society. He always seems to miss the meetings due to class and working but they sent him a letter asking him to join again. He's such a smarty pants!

Not much to update on me. I'm still desperately trying to lose the baby weight. She'll be 2 next week and I still have IT ALL. During my yearly check up two weeks ago, the doctor suggested I have something called "insulin resistance". Which means that I produce enough insulin but it's retarded and doesn't know what to do. So, I've been pretty much stripped of all carbs and have been working out 5 times a week and in another two weeks will see how much weight is gone. If it isn't a very good amount, then I meet with a specialist to consider taking insulin. We'll see. Apparently I'm prone to this "insulin resistance" since I had gestational diabetes and delivered a baby larger than 9 pounds. Who knows.

I hope everyone is enjoying their week. The sun is finally out so I have all my blinds in my office open. I'm hoping the sunshine and diet coke will help me stay awake after only 3 hours of sleep last night. I will try to get some pictures up this week.
