You know how you do things over and over again and you know you should change, but you don't? I'm not talking about big things like "I should be a better person", I'm talking about little things like "Why do I always over-toast my Toaster Strudel?".

Why do I buy cherries? If the price alone doesn't make me regret it, the fact that I can't eat a reasonable amount will surely bite me in the butt. I can't say this about many foods, but cherries are one of the things that I always eat until I feel slightly ill. Even though I know this, I still can't resist buying them when they are on sale.

| At least I don't have a 50K tomorrow |
Not putting the dog in her kennel when I go out. Despite the fact that I'm still running, I'm really a lazy, lazy pregnant person. I hate running up and down the stairs and catching the dog, running upstairs with her, catching the kid, running back DOWN the stairs...ugh, I'm tired just thinking of that. Since Peanut's issue seems to be with getting into trouble in the kitchen, this is my "good enough" solution:
 |
| I could vault that gate in a second |
 |
| But I'm going to take a nap first. |
Still using the changing table. I know it's too small, but man it's easier to change her and get her dressed on that thing. What do people without changing tables use??
 |
| That looks comfortable, right? |
 |
| Oh Mommy, you need to move on already. |
My endless enjoyment of making fun of Twilight. I know I'll never convert anyone over to my thinking, but I still get a lot of pleasure out of trying.
 |
| If only |
 |
| Man, I love Buffy |
Believing people when they tell me that I look "small" or "huge". I'm 100% certain that I'm average sized, but when people exclaim about my size, I always believe them for at least a few hours. Pregnancy apparently makes you susceptible to flattery (or I guess "YOU ARE HUUUGE" could be an insult?)

| 22 weeks tomorrow |
The last thing for this list:
I should know better than to leave Faith alone for 5 minutes (I was making bread) because she always finds trouble.
 |
| Why don't you go in the kitchen Mommy, I'll just play nicely here. |
 |
| How do you like my new organization system for my toys? |
Yeah, she moved a large amount of her toys (and the dog's toys) to the entertainment center. A toddler's mind is really a mystery.
What do you do, even though you should know better?
I do the same exact thing with cherries! They're just so delicious! I do it with Nutella too, although a bit more extreme. I know I shouldn't buy it because I'll eat the entire jar by morning, but somehow.... it continues to happen.... weird.
ReplyDeleteWould I alienate myself here if I admit that I don't really like Nutella? A jar would last a loooong time with me. :)
DeleteI find it suspicious that the Buffy picture was posted on my FB page this morning. I even thought of you when my sister posted it.
ReplyDeleteBrian is the one who sent me that Buffy picture. :)
DeleteI do the same thing with cherries...and grapes...and watermelon. I feel like it's just all tasty water and I can eat tons of it, but I definitely feel it the next day!
ReplyDeleteYou look really tiny and then all belly to me!
I can totally ruin my appetite with watermelon so I have to avoid it before a meal!
DeleteAt least the toys are organized! The dog really stays behind that gate? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeletePeanut thinks she can't jump that gate. It's hilarious.
DeleteBring cherries next week.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was thinking, maybe people would appreciate a daycare by the side of the track -- you could take care of children for people while they go warmup and race, or whatever. Wouldn't that be fun?
That sounds super fun...for the other parents :)
DeleteLittle Katniss sure is wreaking havoc on your physique.
ReplyDeleteThings I always do even though I know I'll regret it...staying in bed far longer than I should on workdays. Maybe I need a much less comfortable bed.
Are you calling her fat?
Deleteyes.
Deleteif she's not, I will. Let me know. I'll be on standby.
DeleteThe new baby (third girl) is named Katniss? What kind of name is that. She really went nuts with the "unique" requirement.
DeleteI can't wait til cherries are cheap and I can eat enough to make me sick and hold me over til next season.
ReplyDeleteUgh - I love cherries too but have the same sticker shock as well.
ReplyDeleteI should know better than to read the comments on the rainbow oreo story...I really should. But I did. And I regret it.
100% score for today just for making fun of Twilight. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteIf you do that in every post, you'll definitely pass this semester.
Where is the graph of her scores, day by day and week by week? Can you put it on top of her weight graph, to see which is rising faster?
DeleteOne of the guys at kungfu said that he taught his kids to do a horse stance while doing a diaper change, and he claims it's the fastest way to put on a diaper.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten cherries until I was sure I was going to shit pure cherries. I regret nothing.
ReplyDeleteAll that Kung Fu nonsense is just to make changing diapers easier?
ReplyDeleteNever would have guessed that.
I forget - do you get an email for each comment posted?
ReplyDeleteIncluding replies?
DeleteSo it is like another version of facebook?
ReplyDeleteblogspotbook?
Deleteitsadoglickbabyhidebook?
DeleteIf you want to get faster, instead of just fatter, here's a training food tip: http://www.hulu.com/watch/2345
ReplyDeleteFor track, even.
DeleteI know I should get up early enough to beat the heat when I run, and I still sleep in on the weekends.
ReplyDeleteI'm fixing that this weekend though! We are going on a sunrise hike, which means we should summit at sunrise. Remind me later that I thought this was a good idea.
We are still using the changing table too... and more often than not I will crack Owen's legs/ankles/head on the wooden frame. He's too long! What DO other people do? I'm not expecting him to be in underwear until he's at least 3, so that's another whole year of using the darn thing.
ReplyDeleteI always forget (refuse?) to wear a hat or other sun coverage outside. Even 100+ spf doesn't keep me from burning, so you'd think I would have learned to COVER UP already. But I haven't.
Never had a changing table, but if I did it would be upstairs and I'm far too lazy to run up there to change a diaper with a 25 pound child multiple times a day so I just use the couch and pray there are no accidents in between diapers. After bath times we just change them on the bed.
ReplyDeleteI really do think she should be praised for putting her toys away. Just because they aren't where you think she should put them doesn't make her wrong.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have tears running down my face from that Abraham Lincoln/Twilight picture. I would pay full price to see that movie.
There is nothing wrong with eating cherries until they make you feel ill. Or ice cream for that matter. :)
ReplyDeleteI like you.
DeleteI always say I'm going to sleep in and run later in the day on days I have nothing to do and then I basically get nothing done all day. Case in point - it's 3pm and I still haven't run. Or done anything that involves moving. When did Edward psychically abuse Bella?
ReplyDeleteI saw that Lessons from Twilight and Buffy thing the other day on twitter - love it.
