A Loss is a Loss and MORE...

Weekly Weigh In....

I am down 1.3 lbs from last week. Not the number I was looking for, but a loss is a loss, right? I have definitely decided to start journaling everything I eat. I think this will help me see where I am making mistakes and what time of the day I am making them. I had also decided that once I got to X lbs I was going to start running again but I think I am going to bump that up a little and see how that goes. I definitely need to change things up. Plus, my heart could use the exercise now that 15.2 lbs is gone!

I know I promised yesterday to get back on and tell the funny "Pink", Dentist story too. It kind of turned out to be not so funny of a story after all. This was the thing, "Pink" was so scared the first time she went to the Dentist last November, we were just so sure she was going to be terrified this time too. Not so much, but she did poop while in the Dentists and Leo's lap. I think most of you know that "Pink" is completely in panties now, except when she sleeps. So, when Leo called me after the appointment he was so mortified that he has been pooped on and had to get home to clean it up. When they got home he went to take her poopy panties off and there was a diaper underneath. Maria was thinking ahead and put a diaper on her because she knew that appointments can take a long time. I made sure to tell her that although that was a nice thought, NO MORE DIAPERS during the day. Next time Leo will have a mess to clean up!

On to other things, I have been on the hunt for a preschool for "Pink" to start in the Fall. I have been looking for months. I have been looking for a two-day program. I feel like I have checked out every Montessori and private preschool in Katy. I never got that feeling when I walked in any of them like, "I can definitely see "pink" with her friends running around here loving it", until yesterday.

I had been doing some research online more extensively lately before I made the decision to actually go and take a tour because they take so long and feed you full of so much, "our school is great because..." I wanted to walk in pretty much already knowing things and just see them in action. So, my friend, CC, her niece, Logan, goes to a great little preschool in a Church here off of I-10 and Westgreen. I had been online for a few days really studying the curriculum and admission requirements. I finally made the decision to go yesterday and check it out.

I walked in the school and absolutely LOVED it! The director took me around and I just loved everything I was seeing and hearing. I could not help but imagine "pink" sitting in her little classroom interacting with the teacher and students. It was great! So, the tour is over and I go to get the information on pricing and scheduling. As we are sitting there she is clicking away on her mouse and she looks up at me and says, "You're not going to like this, but we have 13 people ahead of you on the waiting list." WHAT!?!?!?! 13 People?

At first I was so bummed. Then, I started to look at it like this, this has to be a GREAT school. There are 13 people ahead of me on the waiting list for the fall and it is only the beginning of May. I went ahead and kept her on the list and emailed Logan's Mom and told her to put a good word in for me. Ha, it's who you know, right? So, please keep your fingers and toes crossed that come September, this is where "Pink" will be attending school. I am looking for an alternate just in case, but I am trying to stay positive in thinking, she will be a student at Crosspoint Christian School!

Nothing much else is going on. Just waiting on a few girlfriends to have their babies next week, 3 to be exact and they are all having girls. Is this a girl boom, or what? "Blue" is going to have even more choices. Where are all the boys at? I am so excited for Minnie, Hazel and Cindy. I will be patiently waiting by my phone.

Have a great Thursday, Toodles!
