Work has been busy again. We are trying to get this report issued by the 9th. And I am simultaneously starting another. This new job has me worried for a couple of reasons. I am going to still be working for my long time boss, C. But I will not be in charge of this job. My friend will. So I will be working for my friend. I hope we are still friends when we are done. :P Plus, this job seems to have a life of its own, and is growing out of control. Apparently, the PTB (powers that be) decided to try to kill two birds with one stone with this job. Unfortunately, it is going to take more than one stone. A whole bunch. And lots of crying and rocking in a corner. Oh well. (I also have to say that this job was sold to me as a "quick hitter" and "6 months tops." yeah right. Remind me not to believe the PTB again.)

I am getting excited for the 3 day weekend coming up. I get to spend time with my great little family. I am getting such a kick out of watching the kids grow up. They are such fun little people. And also we are headed down to a family wedding (my uncle's) on Sunday. Evan is really excited about the wedding. He talks a lot about marrying his friend Riley. (And Riley apparently approached James recently about marrying Evan). Evan asked me the other day if I got married twice. I guess in his mind, since you get married and then you have a baby (ideally, anyhow...that is what we talk about), I must have had two weddings. So, if the two concepts are so linked, perhaps he expects my new aunt to have a baby immediately following the wedding? hm.

Irritable

Back at work today. It is always hard to go back after a nice weekend. Saturday, we went to the zoo with the kids. I thought Delilah would enjoy because she is so into animals. And she really did enjoy it. Evan wanted only to see the alligators. Unfortunately, we only have crocs at the Denver zoo, but they did in a pinch. It is funny because that is all he could talk about, all day. But then we see them and he is like, "oh neat... Look at the spiders!" They also have this cave you walk into and you can see bats flying around. Evan FREAKED out. I told him, "Don't worry, they are behind glass." LOL. So then we get to the snakes and he tells me, "Don't worry, Mama, they are behind glass." He also has been saying, "Oh really?" to us. Like, "Evan, you have to get ready for bed." Evan: "Oh Weawwy?"

We also had Landon and Christie over. Landon removed our dead bush for us and then James grilled for us. It was a nice night.

Before I got pregnant with Delilah, I was dealing with some, what the doctors ultimately called, IBS. Basically, every so often I get really sore stomach. :( I was in major pain from sometime early Sunday morning...until really now. I didn't really have any energy yesterday. Eventually, my sweet husband had me go lay in bed and watch DVDs and he handled the evening stuff. I really didn't feel good at all. Better now, but not much.

Anyhow, I missed the Emmys last night. I watched a few clips this morning and this one really made me smile. I think I love everyone in it. :)

One Toe in the Water

I have been trying to get back in to blogging again, but gah! I am always so tired. And work has been busy. But I am back on the weight loss wagon again, so I am going to be blogging again about that.

I had my breast reduction almost 4 weeks ago. I am still not cleared for exercising, but I want to get the weight going back in the right direction. Since making weight for my surgery, I have gained 5 lbs. So half of what I lost. It is too easy to gain! Plus, I haven't been feeling fantastic because of the surgery, so I have been comfort eating.

The kids are doing great. Evan is a crack up. Last night, we were watching America's Funniest Home Videos with Emily and Brandon. A little kid in the video ran into another kid and we all laughed and groaned. And Evan laughed and yelled, "Holy $h!t!" LOL. We tried not to laugh, but it was very funny. I think he just gets caught up in wanting to hang out with the "grown ups." I am sure there are language slips, but I don't really notice them.

And little Delilah "shushed" Emily last night. It was the first time she had shushed anyone. Emily asked her, "Are you ready for bed?" And Delilah turned around and said, "Shhhhh..." Finger up to the lips and everything.

Yesterday, I had some downtime where I watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. It was really cute and funny. I enjoyed.
