I nearly lost you there!

Today was a weary day.

The baby and I have had the same cold for about 2 weeks now. I finally took him to the doctor the other day because he had been sick for longer than 10 days. After sitting in a nasty smelling waiting room for over an hour, the doctor said it was just a cold and give it another week. ARGHHHH!!!! At least he's okay though.

However, due to this cold, I was up all night coughing up phlegm. So I didn't sleep well and I'm pretty tired today. I'll be glad when its gone.

I have a lot of school work to get caught up on. I have a project that I'm supposed to have worked on every week so far of school and I haven't done it at all. I have two exams to study for. I need to buckle down tonight and tomorrow and get some shit done.

I'm sort of in a slump right now. I'm having trouble catching up on everything I need to do. Not just school but also my housework, my priorities. This happens to me from time to time. I guess with the party and with all the odd things I've had to get done in the last few weeks I've just been busy and run down. I'm sure it has a lot to do with me being sick too.

I'm going to try doing the Core Plan next week for WW. Most of you won't know what that means. There's two plans on WW. One where you count points and can eat anything. The other one you don't count points and you eat as much as you want, but it's from a specific list of high density foods like lean meats, whole grain pasta, fruits, veggies, fat free dairy, healthy oils....and stuff like that. Mostly it's cutting out sugars and refined starches. Sort of like the Atkins diet, but with much more flexibility. I need a change of pace. I figure that will break the monotony of counting points for a bit. I'm at a mental plateau but I refuse to succumb to it. I'm proud of how far I've come and I'd never go back. I've heard a lot of people say they lose a ton of weight when they are on the Core plan. I don't think it will be so bad. I will just have to be cautious. I need the learning experience. That's what I thrived off of in the beginning, the overall learning process. I was obsessed with learning all that I could and following the plan to a T. I need to get back into that groove.

I'm excited to get all dolled up for Halloween. I hope a lot of my girls who were invited come to the party. I know Erin is. I'm hoping Heather will be there again. And Amanda and Sarah. I thoroughly enjoy entertaining them. I hope they think I'm as funny as I'm trying to be. LOL!

I went to Misty's baby shower today. She is so cute. I feel bad that I didn't buy her very much. I didn't really think it was entirely appropriate. Like I'd make her feel obligated to me or something. I should have just done it though. I felt like a cheap ass when I watched her open up presents from her other friends that were an upwards of $100. NO JOKE! I know she's a sweetheart and that she will be very grateful regardless. Maybe I'll get her a gift to take to the hospital or to her when she gets home, so I have an excuse to meet Sophia. :)
Here's some pics from the shower:



Well, that's all for today. I didn't want you guys to think I quit. I've just been bogged down.
