The Weekend

Let's see....how was the weekend?  Well...hmmm....poor. The fact that I m sidestepping the scale as if it were a bomb that may suddenly go off if I even do so much as step within three feet of it may give m the hint that I overdid it. Saturday was my husband's birthday. So, we had lunch with friends. I carefully planned in my mind, ok, Mexican food. So, I will not eat chips. I will get fajitas and eat the meat and veggies only. Yes, best laid plans. No, that did not work out. I ate chips, guacamole, sour cream, retried beans, the whole deal. Then, later we had been working on the house all day, we ordered pizza. Yep, awful day of eating. Yesterday was better, actually much better, I think I was just stressed.  The realtor comes tomorrow to list the house and yesterday was my first day back to work after the adoption. Would I be able to get back into the computer?  The answer was no. Would I see enough patients, the answer was yes. How would the children do with me leaving them the first time?  They did fine. Would my husband be ok with them alone?  He is a wonderful dad, it is not that, it is just that I have spent seven weeks getting to know their every little idiosyncrasy. We communicate well.  He is just learning their ways now he was alone. I came home and found our 8 year old, adopted from Russia 7 years ago, plus our new 4 year old and two year old asleep in my bed with daddy. 

All in all, I guess I just did not realize how worried I actually was. When I got home I needed no snack. Just some water, a little TV, moving three children upstairs (that is exercise right?) and off to bed. So, will side step the scale today and work toward a better eating day. It occurs to me that I only have 9 days til the dreaded doctor appt!
