Is there anything BUT random thoughts?

Massive headache today. I had it last night too, but it didn't go away overnight. My eyes just want to close.
I should probably get lunch for the kids. My mom will be here at 12:30 to take Molly to dance class. If I could just get both the babies down for a nap then!! Oh, the possibilities!! The right thing to do would be to play with Maggie...
I have Ida at 4 and if something doesn't change between now and then, I'll be a danger on the road. I'm very frustrated with the whole diet thing. Yes, my pain level is WAY down, but I can't say I'm feeling any more energetic. And I'm not losing weight fast enough. I've been stalled out for almost 2 months now, with no sign of anything changing. I've cheated (mildly) and nothing has happened. I've not cheated and nothing has changed. So why am I sacrificing yummy(er) foods again? I get the no sugar thing - but if eating Ezekiel bread doesn't change anything, why shouldn't I have a sandwich? I just want all this weight gone, already. I'm sick of looking in the mirror and seeing disgustingness.
My kids are all playing (relatively) happily together. They find the strangest things inspirational. It's all because of the popcorn Liam and Lorelei spilled all over the floor yesterday and I never vacuumed up. They're using it for all sorts of things - talking about it, playing with it, eating it. It's like a brand new toy.
It's really cold down here. The TV room stays ok because of the wall heater, but the family and laundry rooms are freezing. I tried to get laundry started yesterday - at least sorted and ready to carry down, but Liam started fussing, so I didn't get very far. I really should get the bedrooms at least delaudrified before tonight.
I think I'm going to pick up Chuck with Janet on Friday afternoon. Which means Molly really needs to get school finished up tomorrow, unless we're just going to accept Saturday school. She's done some stuff this morning, but the kids were up really late last night and I think she's having more trouble than usual focusing. (Not that it had any bearing on her getting 100% on her math tests...) I think we have to plant some seeds for science. After that it's just language arts stuff - which we haven't done any this week. I think she's learning and retaining, it just feels so haphazard to me.
Lorelei is getting cuter every day. She's so bad, but it's so hard to discipline her because she's just so darn cute! She's really smart, too. It will be nice when she's more intelligible. She talks a lot, but you can only catch about 75% of it and at least 1/4 of that is nonsense.
I would kill for a bowl of cereal right now. I'm planning on cheating our weekend away. I'm just not going to think about it. But I'd really like to see a certain number on the scale before I do. I'm not sure it's possible, though, since I can't seem to figure out why I stopped losing. It's just so frustrating!!
The kids kinda slept in this morning. They all missed saying bye to Bob. Maggie was heartbroken. It didn't seem to phase the rest. I had managed to get Lorelei and Liam back to sleep after their initial wake ups and had gone back to bed with Maggie next to me, but Molly opened both their doors (presumably to see if I was in there) and woke them both up. I had the older girls entertaining the younger ones, but Molly was being way to spastic and ruined that as well. She is so unaware sometimes, it's baffling.
I need to buy a cheap calendar for down here. I keep looking at the wall where the other one is (that's still on December). Even if I don't have anything written on it, I can usually remember what's on the one upstairs by looking at the blank one. Weird, I know.
Dawn is coming over twice this week - tonight for Buffy and Friday for AI and kid help, since Bob will be gaming elsewhere.This will be the first season of AI in 2 years that I haven't been pregnant and had a baby in the middle of the season. I loved cuddling the newborns while watching TV. I miss their tiny heads and little noises and the way they smell.
Speaking of which, Liam smells different (i.e. worse) than the girls ever did at this age. His feet stink and his head stinks! Lol! :) I'm kinda used to it, but I'm always afraid other people are going to think I don't bathe him!
I really need to get the show on the road. Lunch and at least dishes today.
