This is kind of a catch-up post, for things I wanted to mention over the last week . . .
On Tuesday, I went to turbo-kick (kick boxing mixed with cardio), and WOW!!!!! I haven't been that out of breath is forever! Not only did I learn just how out of shape I am, but I also realized it's probably not a good idea to exercise wearing a nursing bra. I was conscious of my girls bouncing the whole time (ooowwweeeee) and then, the most awful thing happened. My nursing pads fell out onto the floor in the middle of the class! The horror! I left to go wrap them up in my towel, and I was so tempted not to come back, but I did. Have to lose weight! I know it might seem odd that I still wear the nursing pads, but sometimes there's a bit of leakage, especially when Olivia is near them, snuggling, or when she cries sometimes, and I honestly forgot to remove them before the class. Time to get a sports bra!
I am such a snob. There's no two ways about it. Yesterday, I went to the park for my mom's group, and there was a mom there who looked like the last time she washed her hair might've been some time in '05. Now, I try to be openminded and welcoming, but when people are dirty, I have a hard time with that. I have no problem with race, handicapped people, mental retardation. I'm comfortable around everyone. But dirty? Um, take a shower.
Today, I was out running errands, and I seriously think I saw a guy I went out with in Maryland. The guy I saw was a soldier, and pretty much anyone who joins the army is going to come to my city for bootcamp, so if he joined the military, it could explain why he was here. I only went out with him once, but he tried to molest me when we were taking a nice walk and I totally wouldn't forget him. I had half a mind to go up and ask if he remembered me. When he said no (because I obviously was just another girl to hook-up with) I would've asked him if he remembered my girls! I didn't let him do ANYTHING, but it really bothered me that he'd even try when I barely knew him. Um, first date? I think not! I'm not even one to kiss on a first date. Ask James. :-)
Ok, and this last one if for friends only! My family would die if they knew I posted stuff like this (although few family members read my blog anyway). Meg (that's my sis), you can read it though. :-)

OK, I've mentioned that Olivia sleeps with us, and that makes it kind of hard for "mommy and daddy" time if you know what I mean, so the other night, we put her in her pack-n-play in our room to play (I keep it there so I can actually bathe, unlike the mommy at the park), and when she became totally enthralled with her toys, we had some fun of our own. Next thing I know, I hear giggling and squealing. I look over, and she's watching us and dancing, just like Mommy and Daddy. Please don't report me to child services. It's not like she knew what we were doing, she figured we were dancing! She was so excited because we all dance together a lot. Next time, we'll wait until she's asleep.
Um, how to co-sleeping families add to their family??
I wore nursing pads forever. But I figure it's not all bad - a sign of lots of milk.
I got this great Champion sports bra that has a closure like a regular bra, and has adjustable (yet sturdy) straps. Perfect for extra support and the continually changing figure.
I had such a giggle when I read your post (the last bit especially) because the bubby laughs and gets the biggest smiles when he sees the hubby kiss me. Even just hello and goodbye kisses. They just thrill him! Thankfully (for my sake!) he's not seen us 'do it' but sometimes I wonder how thin the walls are - I'm pretty sure most kids have either seen or heard their parents. My hubby laughs about the time he stumbled on his parents in the middle of the day and he was 16!!!! Apparently the worst bit was when his mother 'leapt off' his dad and fled the scene!!! Yikes!!!
