8:00 am

It's way too early in the morning to be awake. I must say, though, despite the fact that I was up 4 times in 6 hours last night I'm still not doing too badly, relatively speaking.

9:00 am - Got distracted by Lorelei and Liam fussing and then Maggie woke up and needed to change and then I decided to look at winter stuff for her and put away some clothes and then I had to put Liam down for a nap and get the girls' breakfast.
So anyway, I'll be taking 3 pills on Thursday. (It's supposed to be Wednesday, but I don't know how I'll be and Wednesday is a busy day, so I'm waiting till Thursday.) It will be interesting to see what it does. I really don't like some of the side affects (swelling in arms and legs and weight gain). I'm not sure if I think the payoff is worth it. I know that sounds really silly, since I've been feeling so much better, but psychologically speaking, I'm not sure if I can handle weighing more than I already do. I've been wanting to lose about 100 lbs for a while now and this will not be helping at all. I'm eating cereal for breakfast now, because it's what I really wanted and if I don't eat what I'm hungry for than I'll just keep wanting it, but I'm not planning on eating again until dinner. I know it's not the healthiest method, but it's the one I know and it's the easiest.
I love it when the kids clothes change seasons. I kinda forget what they look like in long sleeves over the summer (and short sleeves over the winter), so I always think they look so cute! :) I might have to buy some things for Maggie. She's smaller than Molly was and Lorelei is even smaller than Maggie, so I know I'll need them for her.
I was thinking yesterday about how hard it will be when Maggie starts school, but then I was thinking that by the time Maggie starts school she'll be 5 1/2 and Lorelei will be 3 1/2 (the same age Maggie is now) and Liam will already be 2 1/2 - a whole year older than Lorelei is now, so it probably won't be that hard! :)
I think I'm actually over the hump as far as the hardest part of my life goes. This past year and a half has been pretty horrible, but now Lorelei is FINALLY starting to play on her own and she can go up and down stairs with someone watching and Liam is already sitting up. Next year he'll be walking and one can only hope that Lorelei will be a lot less cranky. Maybe I can get some stuff done around here then.
I have to reorganize stuff in Liam and Lorelei's room today (according to my schedule) and see if there's anything in there for the yard sale. I think I need to be really hard core about this purging. We'll have 4 kids getting Christmas and birthday presents this year and that's an awful lot of new stuff. There are things that the girls have never (or rarely) played with and I doubt that Liam will be agog over, so despite their educational value I'm going to get rid of them. They just take up space, more than anything else.
Well, I have some emails to write and then school with Molly, so ttfn!
