Trying:

• To gear up for the next 3 weeks. We close on our house on Aug 20. "Yey" is all I can say. I'm glad we didn't jump into anything right away, but apartment living is less than desirable with a dog, a toddler, groceries, and excruciating heat beating down on my black car.


• To get my life organized. Staying home with Macie is great, but it does not equal accomplishing more. In fact, sometimes I feel things are even more chaotic because I find I am not as diligent at keeping order (I can do it tomorrow type of thinking).


• Not to be so darn weak. Macie still sleeps with the binky. I after 20 minutes of her high shrilled scream, I gave in, and haven't tried to take it away since.


• To keep Macie's healthy eating going. Praise is key! A bite of broccolli is followed by claps by everyone!


• To accept the fact that my movie theater days are over for awhile. I never did get to see Sex in the City. Today I took Macie to the earliest showing of Mamma Mia! It was looking good for awhile as she danced in her (booster) seat to each song while holding her sippy cup and eating her raisins. But when she said "All Done". I knew I had negative 2 seconds to get out of there. I saw an hour of it, I guess I'll catch the second hour on DVD.
• To think of a "Health and Wellness" topic for a 15 minute presentation. I have a second interview with a Healthcare company on Monday. I think might be going back to work here soon. I wish part-time was an option.


• To tame Eric's enthusiasm for the upcoming NFL season. He is certain that this year is the year of the Dolphin, although, he was certain of the same thing last year, and well-- they won 1 (yes, thats right) game. Let's keep our expectations low, and we'll be happy in the end ;-) (I love you babe)!
