I have had a terrible period this month. What is going on? Cramps, haven't had them in a while.
Let's go backwards for the week from today. The dog on the corner is barking up a storm. He has been at it for over 30 minutes.
Friday
Rushed out of the house. AWB had a some improvements at school. Wong Auntie found her sitting at a table, eating something. That is an improvement. She played with the watercolors for almost an hour.
Food
Breakfast: blueberry muffin and iced coffee
Lunch: fruit tart
Dinner: Chinese spaghetti and a ginger drink
AWB
The Oilily dress is too big still. AWB must not be 92cm at this point, she was swimming in the dress so I put her in a Gap skirt with a white tshirt. She and I took Wong Auntie to the restaurant. She seems happier with Wong Auntie these days. CwS came over with Camille and played together. Napped for 2 hours.
HKB
Didn't sleep last night, he claims and continues to struggle with a mega classload. Grumpy but we settled on a tentative plan for Thanksgiving.
Family
Mami has a caruncle that needs to be removed. Not urgent but still needs to be done at some point. I asked her to schedule it for December when everyone will be at home. JYW hates her baby sitter and had a scary incident when JMG said that she hit her. Turns out she hit her head while she was dressing her. I think JYP doesn't like fat white girls.
Thursday
Left early to make a meeting. Crazy day again! I watched The Queen while everyone slept. I was so surprised that they portrayed the royal family as if they were normal people.
Food
breakfast: blueberry muffin and hot coffee
lunch: part of a tuna fish sandwich, chips and a cookie
dinner: yushiang eggplant with rice
AWB
She hit me a few times and HKB had to put her in time out. She didn't get it at all. She ate grapes with HKB and immediately went to sleep at 8AM, knocked out completely. According to Wong Auntie she did not take a nap on Thursday.
HKB
Took out grapes he bought at Idlywilde Farms. I told him that my sister wasn't coming for Thanksgiving and we started to fight. HKB wants to stay at home and have me cook. I don't feel up to it.

Terrible Tuesday
Frustrating Work
It was not a good day at work, more fuel to make me consider that you need to get paid to work. Obstacles every where I turned today and even drove me to look on job sites. But it was more fantasy than anything else.
Foodwise
Monday
Breakfast: iced coffee, blueberry muffin
Lunch: chicken salad sandwich on rye with pepper jack cheese and a 20 minute walk
Snack: Mike and Ikes in the car on the way home, horrible traffic
Dinner: Chilean sea bass with mushrooms and rice, which gave me diarrhea
Tuesday
Breakfast: hot coffee, blueberry muffin
Lunch: turkey sandwich on campagne bread with sprouts and brie, apple
Snack: tiramisu and some petit four and Mike and Ikes on the way home in the car
Dinner: Bourbon Steak Tips with salad
HKB
Claims that the Iranian President is at Columbia because of Israel bashing, also has diarrhea from the fish
AWB
Haircut by Wong Auntie and learned to say yellow and green today. Yeah! Gave Chi Wai a kiss! Started to pick her nose on Monday. Yuck
Last night AWB and I went to CVS with her trike. It is not easy to steer the trike because AWB shifts around a lot! Tonight, we went to Home Depot to buy a staple gun.

More than a Year Later
Wow, I just re-read the posts from July of last year. I remember starting the blog and ditching it as work got more hectic.
After more than a year, some things stay the same and some things have changed.
The Same
Still struggling with the weight though I think it is much worse now. I definitely have a belly and it jiggles. That has never been the case before.
Still no exercise. Don't want to but know that it would help me sleep.
Still love my girl and hubby. Abigail is turning out to be the most amazing child. Still worrying me about the speech thing but definitely understands. Maybe doesn't want to understand but understands. The light bulb went off in my head when I asked her where the pumpkin was on a page and I didn't even show her what a pumpkin was. Did that with a few things that we never explicitly showed her.
My HKB, still funny and handsome and so grounded and also goofy and sensitive. He touched my heart when I told him that a mom in my mom's group worried that our marriage would be in jeopardy because he slept downstairs, by himself. He brushed that off with a you-would-never-worry about that comment. So casual and so honest.
The changeS
Notice the Big S? Well, let's see, the job for one. That would be 3 in one year. Killed Fran that I left but he resurrected quite fine. At this new job for 9 months and at first I didn't think I would survive. Not because I worried that I couldn't do the job but that it just wasn't the organization for me. So recently, I thought I could work here, at least for a while which is a big thing for me. It is a suit world though and vastly more political than my simpleton mind can handle.
So for the food, here goes:
Breakfast: 2 egg omelet that was too salty, with campagne bread and 2 slices of brie, pear slices and 2 large iced teas.
Lunch: California roll with unagu leftovers from AWB
Snack: To and from Target, Mike and Ikes with Berry flavoring
Dinner: Papparazzi's Pasta Luganega with Pannzenella Salad, lots of bread sticks with butter and 3 iced teas.
Activity:
Food shopping at Whole Foods
HKB to the movies
AWB and I to Target to buy diapers and check out the Halloween fixtures.
Played in the backyard, talked on the phone to Mami and then out to dinner with the girls
Mortifications:
AWB hasn't had a bath in 2 days. Yesterday she didn't have dinner and went to sleep in the car and today she conked out with Harold and he forgot about the bath.
Laughed:
When HKB told me that it was a good thing he went to the movies because the director of the little independent movie was there and if HKB didn't go, there would have only been 2 people to listen to what he had to say.
AWB Moment:
I figured out that she wanted to sit Elmo up but he isn't bendy. She had a pillow case and wanted to use it as a blanket and a cover and a seat for him. She lied right next to him, like the two of us when we are sleeping.
