"Hey fatty, you ok?"



So I have been feeling kind of fat lately and nothing solidifies that more than what happened the other day.

I had a little incident. I am 8 months pregnant, I have a 21 lb. baby in his car seat in my right arm and his diaper bag in my left. I start to waddle up the driveway and slip and fall into the snowbank next to the driveway on top of the diaper bag. So I look around to see if anyone saw ,and I think 'nope, oh good, no one saw that.' But then I try to stand up, I cant.With Austin in my right hand and a bag in my left and a bun in the oven, I cant get my legs out to stand up, they just kept slippin and sliding all over. I looked like a whale on ice.

Now had I been a spectator, I probably would have laughed my head off, but being in the action, I just wanted to get up as quickly as possible and act like nothing ever happend. Finally after what felt like minutes I got up and started walking to the front door when all the sudden the neighbor comes running out the door saying :oh my gosh are you ok? I saw you fall and I could see you needed some help!" I was kind of embarrassed.

So to make a long story short, I have some serious motivation to get back to size if you will, come about April. Anyone interested in joining the craze?

What an imagination...





So i was cleaning the bathroom and i looked out of the door where Austin was and he had found my hangers. This kid can make a toy out of anything, and enjoy it. This makes me very glad because i always hoped my kids would have an imagination and be able to dream up fun things and make forts and build tree houses. OK, maybe i got a little carried away because it was just a hanger, but you cant deny, he is cute!
