Re: Update us on you
Personal goals? Just trying to keep up at work, while starting to think strategically about starting a job hunt.
Feeling low? Most of my family lived in CT or NYC. My grandmother isn't doing well and I am feeling badly that I can't just drop in or help her get to her appointments. And I know she'd like to see T more. I feel like I'm not as much a part of my family as I thought I'd be as an adult.
Bonus: easy: tell us one new thing LO is doing! She is woofing when she sees doggies and she's like a fish in the water! She's also officially no fun to bring out to a restaurant
Thanks for the check in @PrimRoseMama
I have a health goal and professional goal right now. Health: keep running, 15000 steps min/day and losing 5more pounds.
Professional: get a job. Its proving to be difficult.
Low? Just this conflicting emotion between finding a job and wishing I could stay home.
Something new? Exploring and playing on his own. He used to want me right near him (by used to I mean two days ago). Now he trys to open the screen door to play on the deck by himself.
I'm also stressed because I'm trying to go back to work, and I'm not sure I have what it takes. :-/ But I can't keep being a SAHM, and blah.
Finally, I am starting week 2 of a nutrition challenge with my boot camp group. I've done a great job sticking with the guidelines and working out. I can't wait to see what my results are at the end of four weeks.
Bonus: Bruce has started saying daddy, dog, and very occasionally, mama.
I am feeling ok. I lost another 0.6 lbs this week so that is a total of 6 lbs in 3 weeks so I am happy with that so far. I am just very tired this weekend.
Personal goals: I need to start doing activity again. Anything...being away for so long makes me fear doing anything.
I am home all week so I think that will be good for productivity...I am behind in everything so I would like to take the week to get caught up and pay attention to our house. I have a lot of things I need to work on as far as decorating so I will be sitting with some catalogs making some decisions this week...hopefully on a new table a new light fixture for our dining room.
V amazes me everyday...this kid has the best memory. He has started saying "Thank you" when we give him his sippy or his paci when he is in a good mood. It is not the clearest "Thank you" but we can tell what it is.
I am also perusing jobs to see what is out there that may offer me equal pay with more stability. I am worried it will be another year or two or maybe never...until I get the promotion that I am seeking and can I continue to do this to myself or my family...
Last week I was in a funk but am on the upswing and ready to tackle the week. DH and I actually got time to talk last week which helped my mood a lot.
Personal goals?
Just taking one day at a time. I ran twenty minutes without stopping yesterday while is a huge accomplishment for my lazy butt. DH and I are working on a 5k right now. I would love to drop a couple (alright a lot) of pounds but if I can run 20 minutes I think I am pretty good with myself for right now.
Feeling low? On the upswing.

On Wednesday when we pulled up to daycare I opened the door and she goes "Hi!" In the cutest little girl voice. It just melted my heart! I love hearing her say it!
Personal goals? I want to workout more. But I can't seem to find the time. I bike but it is so hot out. I have to start before 7 but I like to sleep in as much as DD allows me to. I should do a workout video after she goes to bed.
Feeling low? but how are you? This has been on my mind a lot. I am OK if DD is an only kid but I would really like to hav e a couple more. My body keeps failing me even with help. Sometimes I wish we started having kids when we first got married. I wish it was easier getting Ku.
Bonus: she is doing so many new things. It is so awesome and she is so much happier now that she can crawl.
I had an interview within my company a couple weeks ago, I thought it went OK but not great but I got a call last week for a 2nd interview this week. Things will be even better if I get this job... fingers crossed!
Personal goals?
I would like to lose a couple more pounds. I had been doing really well with exercising and eating well but I fell off that wagon. Need to get back to it this week.
Feeling low? Reach out! We are here!
For the first time in a while I am feeling really good.

He is giving hugs and kisses... but he only gives them to me! Poor DH.
Personal goals?
I have been running this summer - goal of 3x per week, but usually only have gone 2x. I would like to keep doing it once the term begins.

When LO sees a picture of a gorilla, he beats his chest. It is pretty adorable.
I'm trying to work some exercise back into my life. I've gone swimming a few times, but it's frustrating to be so out of shape. Blergh.
I'm hoping that work calms down a bit in a few weeks, as we're both a little run ragged, but we'll make it through!
Bonus: easy: tell us one new thing LO is doing! WALKING! Whaaaat?!?!!
How are you feeling? Honestly, the past couple of weeks have been really tough. I've allowed myself to get into a funk - which is why I've been quiet on J13. Lots of stress at work, plus the 2.5 hour a day commute, plus not being able to find a job closer to home, plus having a rental house that I can't find a renter for and its sucking what little money I had saved up for a new car, plus an old car that needs work that I can no longer afford to do either because of that stupid house, plus the fact that DH is gone ALL THE TIME between work and volleyball. We haven't had a date night in months. And I don't get to pursue any of my interests because he's never home to care for E. All of my close friends live about an hour away. I moved to where we are living four years ago, but because I still work (and work a lot of hours) where I used to live, I've not been able to make friends here in the area. Its all been leading to a perfect storm of unhappiness.
Personal goals? I want to take a painting class this fall at a local art center. I think that it would be really good for me. But it costs $200 and with all of the issues I have with the rental house and my car, I'm not sure its a smart idea that I spend the money. DH and I have talked about me needing to have an outlet and he's encouraging me to do it regardless. I also want to find a yoga class...but I think that painting would be much more therapeutic for me.
Bonus: easy: tell us one new thing LO is doing! Ema has started making faces at us and laughing. Its so cute to see all the faces that she can make. Fishy face usually ends up in a big kiss for mama.
