I know I am insane to clean house at midnight, but sometimes it seems that it is hard to get it done any other time. Plus...I think I inherited that clean house late into the night from my mom and sis. <br />Why so urgent to clean house now?.. Well tomorrow at 4:30 pm I will have 10 or so moms from the Mom's club and their kids here for a recipe swap / potluck. <br />Today I took my kids to the zoo (without Jason!), But Dolly and Susan and Stephanie helped me too, but still I was amazed how well I managed somewhat on my own with them there. And also amazed that I finally was not tired pushing a double stroller with kids in it up those hills, today was the first time since Valerie was born that I wasn't short of breath doing that. I feel like I am finally getting my body back. They should really tell you that it does take a full year. Valerie is finally sleeping through the night at nearly 13 months! That probably has something to do with it. We are also weaning here from breast milk now. Bye Bye voluptuous boobs. Hello major soreness while I wait for the milk to subside. I had to tell Carl today to be careful not to hit my "nursies" that they were sore,...(that is what he calls them) and so after that he didn't. He is a good boy.<br />I finally fit into pre-first pregnancy jeans!!!!! And got a compliment from Jason today about my butt in them! Next on the agenda is adding exercise back,...I really should have kept exercising all along. .. but anyway...if I am going to begin exercising I really need to go to bed on time like 10!
