Formal exercise may be around the corner.

Every day that I drive to preschool I check out the construction progress on the gym down the street. It's a branch of my gym, so I eagerly await the opening. Because then I can leave the kid at preschool and not be stressing about her being in gym daycare. I really don't like leaving her there.

Weight? I'm maintaining -- which is good given all the job stress lately. Opening preschool, going home to nap Julia, then closing preschool -- very weird hours and weird eating as a result. Living on cereal and toast sometimes because I was too damn tired to cook.

I was going to do it all month to help out, but happily it didn't take that long to find someone to do it and it happens to be an aquaintance of mine from playgroup that I wanted to try to get to know better.

Julia recovering well from her fall earier this week. She took a tumble and knocked a tooth loose. Lots of crying and scary bleeding but the doc said she is fine and now we wait to see if the tooth is going to reattach or fall out or what. The very next day she was at her monkey antics and was trying to climb the big kids' slide in the playground! I flipped out and got her off of there.

Last night we went to an open mic for a little while en famille -- it was very relaxing. It made me laugh because with all the candles on the tables and stuff it reminded me of our coffee house days. Paul and I and our friends used to go quite a lot when we were younger. Only then the problem was volume -- somehow college kids never seem to get their volume on open mic nights decent. Always way loud. Our problem last night was trying to convince Julia that while pretty, candles on tables are hot.

Until she got tired, she was busy flirting with all the other people and dancing.
