First I want to thank everyone for the kind words yesterday. You're all amazing and supportive and need to move closer to me. So we can go shopping for shoes.
Last night was.. better. Eating wasn't too bad minus a couple graham crackers. Which are graham crackers. Not a king size snickers bar. So not an amazing food day but not bad either. Working out.. didn't happen. Peanut was constipated which meant Peanut wanted to be carried and he considered the floor evil. The preteen had a soccer game so the boys and I dropped her off. Bought prunes at the local podunk grocery store. And I carried little man in his carrier while we chased little man around the playground.. which had a monsterous 3rd grader on it chucking rocks and kicking other kids. Since my presence on the playground didn't seem to phase him I mass texted his picture to all the soccer moms. One minute later a dad appeared and ordered him to the car. So yes.. I was that mom. Not the one that tells the kid to behave only to have him tell me off. I was the sneaky picture taking parent. On the bright side.. my boys may be nicknamed Monster 1 and Monster 2 but they appear to be perfect little angels in comparison.
So.. We got home at 8:45 pm. I was exhausted. Working out.. didn't happen. Tonight is soccer practice with the local college team until 8:30. I don't see a workout in my future tonight either. I suppose running around a playground with a 20 lb weight strapped to me chasing a 3 yr old yelling Mom. Mom! MOM! MOOOOOM! Look at me mom!! When I'm looking.. right at the little bugger.. as he runs to the next thing with his arms out on both sides going in opposite circles. I really need to figure out how he does that and doesn't end up landing on his face. If I could master that... omg. Can you imagine how badly I could embarrass the preteen with that?? It would be pure gold.
So yes.. journaling seems to help with funkness and bug guts. Eating right also appears to help. If I could just get the rest of my good habits to fall back in line I think I would be in pretty good sleep deprived shape.

DFW, I did read your journal early this am, no time yesterday due to grandkids games. My laptop had a mind of it's own not letting me type much in. So happy you are doing better today. Yes, I do believe running around with 20#'s strapped to you is considered exercise!!!

Sounds like you had quite the adventure. Just take things one day at a time. Eventually everything will fall back in place.

Thankfully, the bug guts feeling has subsided somewhat. I meant to respond to your journal yesterday, but it didn't happen. (My dog met a skunk in the backyard...I have my own sort of chaos going on here!) I can certainly understand about the need to connect in your new home after moving away from family and friends. I did it about 15 years ago, moving from the midwest to silicon valley so I could hang out with my computer geek husband. It does take a long time to find those people who are more than just acquaintances, with whom you would want to hang around and be silly with. When you find someone you do like, I found it hard to make that leap from chatting to friendship. For you sanity, I would recommend looking around for the most likely candidate and invite her out for coffee or lunch. Maybe she won't be a shoe shopper, but you might find a connection, some grown up conversation at the very least. :)

I didn't get a chance to reply to your journal yesterday, but I've been there. I don't have any close friends that live where I am, and it would be nice to have someone to just go shop with or hang out, but it's hard making friends when you're an adult. And, I'm shy and I think people get a snobby vibe from me even though I'm really just shy. I'm glad you're feeling better today though. I'd say you get your workout in just carrying your little guy, so don't worry about that too much, your sanity comes first. I hope tomorrow goes even better for you!! :)

I love how you love to mess with the preteen's head!! And good for you at calling out the boy's parents. They should have an eye on their kids!

Good for you sending the photos out to the soccer parents! I was trying to catch up at work in a minute here and there and forgot to tell you that.

Love the sending out the picture deal! Glad you had a better day. I moved 2,400 miles away from my family and friends, (NY to AZ), it was seriously rough, but I did eventually meet some good women I am lucky enough to have in my life. For me, we connected through our children, may be a soccer mom for you?

Carrying babies and lactating should count as extra exercise...
