I swear I’ve opened this post half a dozen times and thought I commented, then today realized I hadn’t.

Mack at 3, had just begun to really sleep through the night… THEN WE POTTY TRAINED and now he’s up 3 or 4 or 7 times a night. I can feel your Grub pain.

I read something several years ago that we have a finite amount of will power for each day. We use a little bit for many tasks throughout the day–sometimes there’s just NOT enough to also cover stopping ourselves from comfort eating. I keep telling myself that with all the things I CAN keep myself from doing (beating my kids, going stark raving mad, becoming a raging alcoholic) that I’m doing pretty well and I’ll eat those carbs if I need to. Sometimes you have to give yourself some slack. You’re doing the best you can–and if running 5 km a day isn’t it… that’s okay!

And meanwhile on this side of the world the sun is slowly fading away. If it gets much colder I shall be needing to bring out the hat and gloves. Doooom!

“I will shortly be the proud owner of one of those modern, new-fangled sleeping-through-the-night-and-putting-themselves-to-sleep children I have heard about. I can feel it in my waters.”

This? Had me wetting myself laughing. Thanks.

All the crappy stuff, (((hugs))). I know exactly (exactly!) how you feel.

OK the pain is not so good but sunshine and pretty but pollen filled flowers and longer days are a step in the right direction.

I think you are right – my body is saying rest but I am too afraid that if I stop to rest/recover I will never start back

urk. Dislocating your wrist. That’s not good. Pooh to the pelvis say I.

It’s being so cheerful that keeps you going. Moan away. Moan away!

Sounds like life as the mommy is about as much fun in Australia as it is here. Sorry!

WooHoo! on all the good. There, there, brave little soldier on the not so good. If it serves in any way as a consolation, I am now ginormous and am outgrowing maternity clothes (there’s a slap in the face if ever there was one). Also my feet have turned into these weird, fat, clumpy little hobbit feet. They are quite funny in a mildly disturbing way.
