So I have five kids, two of which are from a previous marriage. One of them lives on his own and is in the Army. Three of the others are still in school. But I waited almost ten years to have another baby. I wanted to do the diaper changing and teaching to talk and play at the park thing. Now he is just about two and he is such a character. He loves Elmo and Barney. When he wakes up in the morning the first thing he says is HIIIIII in this big smiley face. I wish I could wake up all perky like. I just started watching a little boy who lives down the road. He is four today. When I see these boys playing together they remind me of brothers. I think one of the hard things for me though is getting up so early when his dad drops him off. He comes at 4:15am and then picks him up at 7pm. They are stick fighting. So while I am babysitting and taking care of my soon to be two year old and doing laundry, I am trying this new diet. I realistically want to lose 100 pounds. That is a tremendous amount of weight. I have tried a lot of things, including the whole hypnosis. I'm trying this new diet which is a cheaper substitute of the Medifast diet. I have to eat these five different snacks and then dinner. Basically, I am eating every two hours which is crazy. I don't have time to eat that way. But, when I stepped on the scale this morning I was 3 1/2 pounds lighter. When I think of that I think that is nothing. So maybe in a few weeks I will have lost more. Oh yeah, I have to find the time to drink eight glasses of water. I think I'm going to drown!
