Still trying... but exercise keeps slipping me by this week.

In order of most time consuming... my morning got taken up by the roofer, church, and parents.

The roofer that stood us up Monday? His car was stolen. So now he's trying to catch up on all his missed appointments and after some phone rigamarole we agreed on 1 PM tomorrow. So I had to get Paul on the phone (and he was to and fro convention center and hard to get a hold of) so he will come home for lunch to meet with roofer with me. He wants to talk to us both and make sure we're all on the same page before proceeding.

More phone hooha getting us registered for the new member class at church and requesting child care while we are in class. Thankfully, there's childcare on site, but I have to register Julia too so she can use it while we are in class.

Then Mom called and wanted to invite us to dim sum for Chinese New Year but Julia was snoring and I didn't want to wake her and abruptly take her out (My parents need to realize I live with a child who needs ramp up time to go out to do things) and I didn't want to eat out in the middle of the week. I'm trying to save it for Friday night with Paul (pseudo date).

Then I had to get firmed up about having a playdate tomorrow and sort out direction to my house... looking forward to having M. and J. over.

By this time, Julia was up for the day and wouldn't you know it? She decided today was going to be a nurseathon type day. Baby at the breast alllll day long.

Amy -- re: mental and emotional goals next week... What are you in the mood to tackle?

Part of mine of the year have been spiritual and social. To seek and find a church home for our little family and make some new friends through playgroup. We're making progress here. We're even making progress on the better eating... just need to put in more effort to get better progress on exercise.
