You are getting sleepy

Do you believe you can lose weight through hypnotism? I believe it. I mean, if you can quit smoking and many other things why not lose weight? I'm not sure what exactly they would suggest to you while you are under someones power. Maybe instilling in you some kind of desire to eat right and exercise. Maybe they'll make you believe that chocolate tastes like vomit and ice cream will give you the shits. Who knows.

But I'm going to find out. Next Tuesday I'm going to a program being held at the hospital where I gave birth. Its called Lighten Up: Weight Loss Through Hypnotherapy. I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to see what its all about. I'm not sure if they'll actually hypnotize you there or if its just informative and you'll have to actually make an appointment and pay for the hypnotism.

I'm willing to try anything at this point. I'm so depressed about my weight lately that I just eat to numb the pain. I know that is just making it worse but for a few minutes that it takes to enjoy a pint of ice cream, I just don't seem to care or care enough to exercise some willpower. I will report back with the results of the seminar.

Let the hunt begin

I give up. We give up. We can't make it. Its not working. I need to look for a part time job.

I just checked the classifieds. This is depressing. Anything that is part time is so ugh. The most appealing thing I can find is to work as a phone operator from 5 pm - 9 pm for the company called Blue Sky Brands - basically its taking catalog orders. All other jobs are retail or restaurant business. Or I could babysit kids or the elderly. No thanks.

I'm going to keep looking some more but I have to talk to DH. He'd need to get home before 5 if I took that job. I feel like we'd be moving in shifts and never see each other. But its that or we go bankrupt. *sigh* I feel like crying.

To sit or to shit

Have you ever read the book Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss? There is this one part that goes like this:

PAT
PAT
They call him Pat.

PAT
SAT
Pat sat on hat.

PAT
CAT
Pat sat on cat.

PAT
BAT
Pat sat on bat.

NO
PAT
NO
Don't sit on that! (he is about to sit on a huge cactus)

I was talking to DH last night after reading this to Aiden for one of his bedtime stories. I said to him, you know that Pat has a real sitting problem. He just goes around putting his butt on everything and he seems to be getting off on it or something. Then I told him that it could be worse. It could be a shitting problem.

Just imagine:

PAT
PAT
They call him Pat.

PAT
SHAT
Pat shat on hat.

PAT
CAT
Pat shat on cat.

PAT
BAT
Pat shat on bat.

NO
PAT
NO
Don't shit on that!

Open Mouth, Insert Foot

Do you ever have those moments after you've been out with a bunch of people, you get home and you think why did I say that? and that? and that? and THAT?

I feel like I have those moments all the time. Sometimes I just don't know when to stop speaking. Its a really bad habit to have.

I did this constantly when I was pregnant and just blamed it on hormones. Now I see that I'm still doing it.

The next time I go anywhere I'm going to be mentally yelling at myself to just shut up already.

Oh yeah, I have a blog

I've been thinking for the past couple of days that I should update my blog. The problem is, there isn't much to tell you.

Aiden is being a handful lately. I think its the age. I have to say this is my least favorite age so far. I'd like to go away and come back when he is over this headstrong, willpower, fight, whine, cry, pout stage. Sadly I don't think this stage goes away until he becomes and adult and maybe not even then.

I've been selling off some things on ebay. Whatever I can do to bring in some income, I should. Unfortunately I seem to be bumbling up my first sales. I thought I could receive money through my paypal, because I have before. But two of the auction winners said that they received messages that their payments couldn't go through. So I've asked them to check the e-mail account and such. Still didn't work. Then I figured I'd better upgrade to a premier account. I've sent them new invoices and waived the shipping costs. I'm afraid I'm going to lose money on these ones. It sucks too because they would have been good prices with the shipping. Hopefully they're not too harsh on their feedback. I'm going to wrap up the items really nicely and ship them off today with a thank you note. Maybe that will excuse my dumbassness.

Busy Busy Busy

I feel like I've been going non-stop lately and thats a good thing. I don't like being idle. This one nap a day thing has really made a huge improvement on our ability go out and do things. I don't feel like I need to rush around anymore. That is a great feeling when you've been rushing every outing you make for a year.

Lots of things on the horizon. I may or may not become the next president of my local MOMs Club chapter. The thing is that no one else wants the position. I'm not one to sit back and let something that needs to get done not be done. So even though I'm not sure that this is the best thing for me to be doing right now, I've agreed to run IF someone will share the responsibility with me. Basically I want someone to be the people person and I will handle the paperwork.

You might be thinking, paperwork? For a moms club? Yeah! Seriously, its more paperwork than I thought it would be. One person has volunteered for the job to share the presidency with me so I'm hoping things work out come elections at the end of this month. There is a whole other story about this with some minor to major drama but I don't want to bore you with all the details. But thanks so someone, whom I won't mention, almost all the members of our group don't want to run for any positions at all on board. *shrugging* I don't see the benefit of airing the dirty laundry and scaring everyone away, but maybe that is just me.

Enough of this rambling post. I just wanted to say I'm busy trying to take over the WORLD!!!
