Pluggin' Away

After a four day rest due to knee pain and sick children, I completed Week 2, workout 3. I'm a little off schedule, but that's ok. I think I will have to repeat week 2, anyway. 3 days of no exercise sent me backward a bit and I felt it today. I told Dee, the feeling I have after exercising is almost like the feeling I have after labor, but on a smaller scale. Accomplished, relieved, exhilerated, ecstatic...It must have something to do with endorphins or whatever those chemicals are that wash over our brains.

Matthew is completely potty trained now, except for the precautionary diaper at naptime and bedtime to keep things dry just in case. For the most part, the diaper is dry in the morning, too. I sure wish he was wearing one last night when he went to bed. Ken did the tucking in while I was watching Jon play indoor soccer, and he was so flustered trying to find pajamas (I have one actual pair of pajamas for Matthew, and when they are dirty I use sweatpants and a sweatshirt, but Ken didn't know and I didn't think about it before I left...) that he forgot to put a diaper on him. Poor Matthew waddled into our room last night around midnight, completely soaked and upset~ Ken felt so bad he jumped right up and changed the sheets for me while I changed the boy. He's the greatest. So, the pack of diapers sitting in my living room may very well be the last pack of diapers I buy for one of my own children, ever! I can't imagine a life without diapers. Every day of my life for the last 9 1/2 years has been full of diaper changes for one or two children. I know for some that would be cause for a tear or sniffle or two. But I must say, I am glad to see the diaper season move on.

I'm still waiting to hear back about the peer counselor job, but I think it must be a thanks but no thanks. Maybe I'll call them at the end of the week to find out if they hired someone already. What would you do? I emailed a thank you note (I read online that most employers find that acceptable). Maybe that was the wrong thing to do. My logic was, it's less time consuming and annoying than a phone call, with no effort needed on their part, and quicker than regular mail, which was important because I should have sent it last week. I'm not savvy on these things. Every job interview I've ever been on ended in my getting the job, sometimes on the spot, so I have no personal experience with the excruciating wait after the interview.

And now to figure out what to cook for dinner....
