Mystik- I do try to stay busy! It prevents me from getting too depressed, I noticed. On Thursday it was raining cats and dogs--super super heavy rain. I couldn't bring myself to be motivated to do anything other than go home and put on my comfy clothes. BUt I had several hours of NOTHING until S was dropped off. Sure, there are ways to fill the hours but I was just BLAH. BORED. RESTLESS. Yuck. My point is that I think trying to plan stuff really helps!

CW- My RA toned down thank goodness! Today I woke up with minimal inflammation and was also able to pick up my prescription. Hopefully it will stay like this for awhile. (inactive) Thanks for the concern! I tend to forget I have it until it reminds me....

Gatsby- glad you could relate to the gym-daycare thing. And also not glad because we have to deal with this! I am jealous that my friend C goes 3 times per week while her H takes care of the kids. Oh well. This is our life, right?

FM- Thanks for the vote of confidence. I can definitely use the elliptic at home and my pilates dvds some time but the problem has been that when S is asleep, I am so not motivated to work out! (at 8 p.m.) This is a temporary problem. I can envision doing walks to the park, etc like I did before I went back to work. Also, for the first time in my life, I might say "so what?" if I am flabby from not working out for awhile. I know this is not my preference, but also know I envision more for myself, so it will happen again. We need to know when to take it all on and when to just let ourselves "manage!"

About the Waldorf daycare- I don't know much about that but it sounds good. AND expensive! wink

Brightnewday-how funny; you have them near the end of their school career and I have them near the beginning. For me they want to learn everything and say "I can't read" if they can't pick up any book from the library and read it! I have to explain that reading is a process and you go from reading small words to big words but everyone will get there....

I think it's funny that no one has commented about zoobrew!
