served me right...

So I decided to cheat a little on my "new healthy lifestyle" and have some of my rich, creamy, potato soup for breakfast. I know that if I eat starchy foods I need protein to go with them or else I'm hungry for more and more and more, so I made some smoky links too. I made the soup a bit hotter than usual so I could eat my smoky links without worrying about it getting cold. I had eaten one smoky link while the soup was finishing it's heat cycle in the microwave. I carried my soup alone to the computer then came back for my coffee and sausage. I sat everything down on the desk and when I sat down I knocked the bowl of boiling hot soup right into my lap (and on my hand where I tried to keep it from falling off the desk). I screamed and jumped and ended up throwing soup all over the bedroom. My poor husband was still asleep and came running to see what was wrong, to find me stripping off my jeans while still screaming. I have a pink hip/thigh and a red palm. I had to take my wedding rings off to make my hand more comfortable. I hate doing that. Then I had to clean up the incredible mess in the bedroom! I'm a bit uncomfortable right now, but I guess this is what I get for having such a rich breakfast!

life happens

I'm having a terrible time keeping my apartment clean. DH prefers to sleep on the floor of the living room because the bed hurts his back now and I prefer to sleep with DH so I've been out there too. Since he works 2nd shift he's up later and sleeps later. Since he's been suffering from insomnia, he's up all night and sleeps all day. On his days off I don't even bother waking him so he may not get up till 4pm! His work days I wake him at 2. When he's gone I spend time cleaning and tidying the living room which takes all my free time in the evenings and sometimes there's so much to do I can't tell I've tried to do anything! In the mornings I'm gone in order not to wake him so I can't do anything then. I'm beginning to feel listless. I have craft projects to do so I'm occupied, but being occupied in a trash heap isn't very satisfying.

My dear little prince doesn't want to do anything but watch his movies. I can't even get him to draw pictures WHILE watching his movies. He's turning into a vegetable and I'm going to have to unplug the dvd player or hide all his movies and ride out the tears and tantrums (and let me tell you he can have good ones!).

I've also started counting calories and am trying to exercise more. I signed up at sparkpeoplea couple years ago and it worked so I signed back on a couple weeks ago to keep myself accountable and it's working again. That's a good thing.

Back to school

After almost 3 weeks of winter break, my little prince is back in school. I saw many improvements over the break concerning his attitude and speech/language development. He's using longer sentences now, and initiating conversations. Hopefully he'll pick up socially while in class as well.
