- Spinning class is addictive. It's the longest, most painful, sweaty, suckish hour of my day - but i keep coming back for more. I got a heart rate monitor - also addictive. I know I'm working hard in the class but the HRM tells me how much calories I have burned - which is never as high as I think it should be.
- I'm at a weird phase in my life where I don't feel like a kid anymore. I know that sounds ridiculous - but the other day at lunch, I was sitting there with 2 co-workers and we were all talking about work and it kinda dawned on me that these women see me as a co-worker, not as someone considerable younger than them. I feel like I should know about stuff that I don't really pay attention to - like politics, religion, etc. I guess I need to be more on the up and up and pay attention to adult things.
- I'm trying to have a new perspective on work. While it's frustrating I keep reminding myself that I could be the roadkill cleaner upper or the guy that has to empty the porta potties.
- My Little Parker is growing up so fast. He watches the world go by him and he wants so much to get up and be a part of the action. He is doing great sleeping in his bed. Ocassionaly he will get up after he has been laid down for the night or for a nap. You always hear his diaper swishing around and then I see his little smiling face peek around the corner. And he toddles into our room with his blanket draped over his shoulder and his bottle in his other hand. He stands there smiling - he knows he isn't supposed to get up but if he just looks cute enough he thinks he might get away with it.
- Stewart - my big first grader. He is such a funny little boy. He got the class clown award at his summer camp - no surprise there. He is so sweet. He is the best big brother. He helps without complaining, he does sweet things for Parker and he is always looking out for him. Sunday, Parker woke up and went straight into Stewart's room. Sometimes he will come stand next to my side of the bed (if he gets up. most of the time he lies in bed crying.) But yesterday morning, he got up, walked himself into Stewart's room, woke up Stewart and then they sat in Stewart's bed laughing and giggling. It was cute. If Stewart is sitting in the chair or on the couch, Parker wants to climb up and sit with him, in his lap if Stewart will let him. It's cute. i knew he would be a good big brother but i didn't anticipate his tolerance and patience.
