17 pounds is outstanding! Don't be that impressed with my weight loss, Cat; the 40 I lost was all pregnancy weight gain and its taken 8 months to lose it. The 20 that's left was extra that I had BEFORE I got pregnant, so that's going to be a bigger battle unfortunately. I am also NOT one of those people who lose weight when they are stressed -- I am a comfort eater, and I have really been trying to not succumb to my urges to eat just because I am upset.

It is both comforting and frustrating to see/hear how similar the things that the WASs say to us are! Maybe they have some bulletin board somewhere that they are all posting on, and they feed each other these lines!

So, H did call last night, but he called our house 40 minutes after S3's bedtime, and then seemed miffed that S was asleep (not sure what he expected). We talked for a few minutes about nothing important, but H was clearly in a mood, so he didn't really react much to the thing I told him (all regarding the kids/logistics). He'll probably call again tonight, and will be home tomorrow. He hasn't mentioned whether he in fact finished or thought about the 5LL book, which he said he was going to finish this past Saturday. I am determined NOT to be the one to bring up our R next.
