Happy August!

The yard sale is over, the remainder donated to the annual church yard sale and now I'm motivated more than ever to continue getting rid of things we don't use.

This month I hope to continue in that trend as well as to keep up with the daily household chores that sometimes seem like a mountain to me. I am still struggling with being tired from the chemo and the life of a new mommy but I'm doing my best and learning to get things done when he sleeps and nap if I can.

I have a friend visiting from Honduras that is visiting on Wednesay. She hasn't been to (somewhat) decent shape. She might decide she just wants to go out to lunch.....no definite plans just yet. I thought I might stay home and clean tomorrow but Jeremiah is growing out of the clothes he has so I am thinking of going along with Pete tomorrow when he goes to work so I can visit my favorite consignment shop....we'll see.

My grass needs to be cut (but it keeps storming) and I need to spend some time in Jeremiah's room sorting out the clothes that are now to small...hard to believe but true! He now weighs 15.2 pounds and despite what MANY people feel the need to tell me (oh he is BIG, what a butterball, etc.), the doctor says he is just fine...in fact, he is in the 25th percentile meaning 24 babies his age are smaller than him and 75 are bigger than he is.....he is actually SMALL for is age!!! Anyway...I'm glad to know he is growing and is healthy!

As for me, I have been writing down what I eat and the points. Sounds like nothing but it's something I stink at and it really does help improve my weight loss efforts.
