Hello all,
I took a week off from blogging because to be quite honest I didn't have a free moment to sit down and write! As many of you know Vincent is on his way to giving his mommy (and g-ma) an excessive amount of gray hair before it's really necessary. After two consecutive days spent at Kaiser the doctor concluded that he had pneumonia, bronchiolitis and double ear infections. Needless to say we were sent home with all kinds of great drugs in order to get his breathing and the infection under control. So 10 days later he is a brand new kid and I am almost sleeping through the night again!
I lost 3 more pounds over the course of the past two weeks. I could have lost more but there were a few days plagued by convenience food due to a lengthy amount of time spent at the doctor's office. I have cut out the simple sugars at night and try to stick to cut up apples or greek yogurt with fruit on top. My biggest weaknesses are snacking during the day because I am bored or eating sweets at night because I am ADDICTED. I have started walking with Vincent and I try to average in the 3 mile range. I am hoping that as my butt gets smaller my feet start to scream less the morning after walking.
I have come to a few revelations lately. Firstly I do not like Physiology. Not even a little. I have had to take a step back and look at the nearly 40 units of nursing pre-requisites and wonder if that is really what I want to do in life. The short amount of time spent working at the Sheriff's office and a few administration of justice classes have made me question where my passion lies. I made a brash decision fueled by a lack of sleep and a bad night at work when I quit dispatch. I don't want to be a police officer but I would not mind working a civilian position again. That being said...we will just have to see what happens in the future.
The second revelation is how much I miss when I sit around the house and wait for life to come to me. I have had to make a few changes to try and get my head right and as I do I realize what I am missing. My children are only small once. In the near future they will not want to hug me and cuddle with me or even sit in the same room. I may not be the top candidate for "stay at home mom" but certainly I need to enjoy the time I spend with my kids. I find that the more I walk and the more time I spend outside I appreciate where I am in life. I live in an amazing place and have an amazing family. Every day is not perfect and I still have a lot of work to do on myself but the fog is starting to clear and I am thankful for that.
