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.
