AAAHHHRRRGG!

It dawned on me this crazy, hectic, rat-race morning that I will in fact turn 33 in November. I suppose I knew it, but didn't really know it.

Am I where I thought I'd be at 33? Now that I'm here, I can't remember where I thought I'd be.

And come to think of it, not wanting a different life proabably means I'm right where I should be.

PS - you know you're a mom when you wipe something gooey of unknown origin off your Coach bag with a baby wipe!

Swimming...and cows of course!

So we have a little blow-up swimming pool at my parents' house for E and I decided Saturday would be the big day.

I got her lovely bright green bathing suit out of the closet, dug around & found mine (wish I hadn't) and we headed on over to Gran & Papa's.

My dad had put some luke-warm water in & it was all ready for her. I managed to wrestle her long enough to get the suit on her and then I wrestled myself into my own suit (YIKES) and we were off to splash and play.

I picked her up and sat down in the pool and she sat down up to about her chest. She heard the cows mooing behind her, stood up, turned around and only wanted the cows.

Toddler lesson - plan swim time when the cows are in the barn!

I've taken up a little jog...

I've been walking with my dad after dinner for about three weeks now. I got the bright idea that I wanted to try running so I started jogging for a bit during each of our walks and last week I made it up to 10 minutes! May not sound like much but it's very freeing and I enjoy it a lot...clears the head from all the muck that builds up during the day!

I've lot 3 pounds since we got back from vacation and I'm feelin' fine.

I have two adorable dresses that I haven't been able to wear since E was born and I'm hoping by the end of the summer that I once again will be hot-to-trot in those slinky numbers!

Come to think of it, at this point in my life I'd like to be hot-to-trot in any number!
