Day 2 - I love eggs. They're one of the only things that I don't have to change the way I previously made them.
Lorelei's surgery went well. It was really fast and she was very good. She threw up on the way home, though, and she's sleeping now. I'm hoping when she wakes up she'll feel a lot better.
Bob has the day off, so he's doing school with Molly.

I hate my life right now.
I want to give up after 6 hours. Not because it's hard, but because my kids have been complete and utter brats ever since they got in the car this afternoon and I want to eat my stress and frustration away. That makes me even more angry because what kind of an idiot does that?
I'm worried about tomorrow. I'm worried that Lorelei is going to wake up and want her bottle and we can't give it to her. I just don't think I can handle dealing with her all night and then having her miserable in the morning. At least the surgery won't take long. My mom is going to babysit so Bob and I can both go. This is going to be a long night.
I'm not looking forward to tomorrow because I have to find something else to eat while everyone else eats pizza. That's just going to piss me off in a situation that will probably already piss me off.
I still have laundry to do and tons of straightening and vacuuming to do and I don't feel like doing any of it. All I want to do is take a bath. I'm freezing cold.
And it's 8:30 and Molly and Maggie are still up. Molly is still doing school because she won't just sit down and focus. I could strangle that girl right now.
I'm just in a really shitty mood right now.

It's the end of the world as we know it
Thanks to Bob for getting that song stuck in my head.
So today, Beth watched my kids (thank you, Beth!) from about 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. And she wants to do it again!! She says they are very good and well behaved and polite and kind. Whose children was she watching?!? Anyway, I'm looking forward to having a whole day here at the house by myself!
Today I had part of the day to get some cleaning done (my dining room and kitchen floors are actually clean!!) and then had my appointment with my nutritionist. Yes, I have decided to get serious about food (and health and all that goes along with it).
I first saw her on Monday to do tests and things and then again today to get the results and plan and then I see her again on Monday to see how things are going and check up on stuff. I am on a very strict diet (basically only veggies and meat). I'm ordering a cookbook from amazon with recipes that follow the diet and until then, I can only think of one thing that I can eat: tacos. And I'm not even sure I can put in the chick peas and black beans and baby corns. Pretty sure not. And I have to make my own taco seasoning to make sure it has no sugar in it. And I can't have any store bought salsa. And no sour cream. And no shells, of course. But I can still eat olives! :) I had eggs for lunch today, fried in real butter - no margarine, with only salt and pepper on them. That's usually how I eat eggs anyway, so that's no big deal. It will be my staple breakfast from now on. Guess we'll be buying eggs from Costco! I'm taking supplements as well, so hopefully that will help too. I'm going to try to write daily about what's happening so that I can remember for myself. That way if it goes well, but I'm getting discouraged, I can read back and see how far I've come.
I'm trying to get school done with Molly, not only for today but for yesterday and tomorrow as well. Lorelei gets tubes in her ears tomorrow morning and I don't know how the rest of the day will go. Plus we have family coming in to visit. I think we'll be able to get math and science done, but I'm not sure about language arts. We'll probably have to separate that into two days. I just can't seem to consistently get Wednesday stuff done on Tuesday. :(
4:30 already! Today flew!!

Tired again
So I haven't been feeling very well today and I'm not really sure why. I've been busy, but not extremely so. Since the last time I posted, Pop died and we went to his funeral Saturday. Sunday we had to go to church because we floated and then Faith and Mike and Angel were here after church and we played Rock Band. Yesterday I just did laundry, mostly, and had my appointment with my new nutritionist. I go back to her on Thursday and will get all the instructions for my new way of life.
But I started feeling bad yesterday and today I've been sleeping most of the day. I haven't done any school with Molly at all (although I logged her in, so she won't be marked absent). Liam spent his morning (after his nap) in the exersaucer next to the sofa while I slept. It's hard to sleep when he's awake, though, he's just so darn cute! :) But now it's 12:46 and I haven't done a thing, including get back to my water guy who's supposed to come and change our UV bulb. I feel bad, he's a really nice guy, but when he called I was so tired and just wanted to sleep, so I didn't answer.
The only part of Molly's school I'm concerned with is her language arts because she always has more to do in that class than any other and she hates writing so it takes her forever. And with tomorrow being a Sharon and dance day, I really don't want her to get behind. Friday will be taken up all day as well, so we have a very limited week this week. I guess there is the weekend... she has a two week time lapse between when things are posted and when they're actually due. But I really don't want to get into the habit of getting things done "just on time".
Liam is sitting in his high chair playing with Cheerios and watching the fish and blowing raspberries and every time I look at him he gets a huge grin on his face. :) I think he knows he's cute.
Lorelei asked to take a nap today around 11:00. I'm wondering if she's not feeling well. I'm pretty sure she has fall allergies, although so far they're only manifested in sleepiness, for the most part. You can see the circles under her eyes, though.
I should eat lunch. And get off my duff. I have two loads of laundry to put through the washer and dryer and then I have to put everything away. There's still stuff not put away from the last time I did laundry... I'm turning into my sister. Love you, Faith! :)
