I'm still here, take 2...

We had a lovely vacation. I am thankful for my two boys. However, I am not dealing with a few things very well lately. One example is gaining weight; and of course, when I am stressed I eat more. But it feels pointless to work hard on losing weight if I'm trying to get pregnant, but if I can't get pregnant, then I just feel fat (yes, Quigs, I said fat). Another issue is out gazebo that is not yet 1 month old and has a collapsed roof - and the stupid customer service issues from the store from which I bought it (SEARS). Vicious cycles of frustration and unhealthy thoughts.

Needless to say, I am coping. And since my life is good and it could be far worse (cause Angelina Jolie told me some sad stories of people with amazing attitudes), I feel guilty for complaining, which of course leads to more unhealthy thoughts.

So let's talk about good things.
Curious J started summer camp last week. He is doing great! :) So proud of him.
Curious J is making new friends - or at least socializing with others (without the aid of his parents) of his own accord. :)
My Curious J no longer uses pacifiers at bedtime. While J is still learning to deal with putting himself to sleep sans pacifier, he is doing very well.
My high school 15 year reunion is this coming weekend. I have a pretty dress that Loosey helped me pick out. :) (and I have purple nailpolish to match.)
Like I said, we had a great family vacation. Seriously, looking for a vacation, go to the Great Wold Lodge in Wisconsin Dells. Very kid friendly.
Even though J had a pretty rough cold for a few days, I have a healthy kid and I am very thankful for that.
My friend, (we'll call her) Roomie, is coming to visit me in a week and we're going out sans kid.
BDR and I might get to go to the movies this weekend if the grandfolks are okay with watching J.
I had a blast with my friends at a BBQ last week.
I have a small group of friends that I realized I rely on for socialization. And I like them very much! :)
I have a couple of hours each day to myself for 3 weeks this summer (although one week is already passed - but I still had). I have been using it to exercise.
I have a good husband. Yes, he drives me crazy (like I drive him crazy) but he is a constant that is not just there for convenience. I love having him there next to me.

Okay, I'm ready to pass out. Night!
