Moving on... kind of. :)

Today was a milestone (one shofixti says I've claimed several times already, but this time I MEAN it): I worked my final shift at LAPP as cwsmithiv's parent. If everything goes according to plan I'll be back in a couple of years with Clara, but this is still kind of a big deal. Three years of parent participation preschool, two years on the board, and it's all

If there are certain things you feel you “should” cover, you probably might want to consider talking about to someone who you think will listen and preferably give an objective opinion if you need it. I always feel venting is healthy if done in moderation. Not talking about something you feel is obviously is important is only going to eat away at you in the back of your mind. Also, I think being a mother of two is probably very stressful at times so finding things that relax you like knitting and watching non- child- appropriate programs is always a good thing. I feel exercise relaxes me a lot.

Thank you Shawn. :) I feel silly "wasting" my precious down time with something that feels like whining, but I suppose the therapeutic aspect is not to be overlooked.

Oh, exercise... I remember that. I honestly think I've gained more weight since Clara was born than I did while I was pregnant. (Please note: I didn't gain much while pregnant, so it isn't a tough bar to beat.) My old NERO habit of snacking to overcome extreme exhaustion kicked in when she wasn't sleeping much at first, and now I pretty much stuff whatever I can in my mouth at all times. Definitely going to want to work on that in the near future!
