Almost a new year.

I got a great knife from the old man.  How evil do I look? Hehe.

Child #2 has been feeling poorly for the past few weeks, mostly a viral thing she probably picked up at school. So we've had coughing and whatnot all through Giftmas.  Recently her stomach has been paining her, sharp pains at various intervals. Normally I wouldnt sweat something so random but it was happening more and more and bringing her to tears.  We went in to see the doctor and she did an x-ray.  It seems Child #2 has ALOT of poop and its kinda backed up.  The gas in between all the poop seems to be the culprit of the pains. So.  The doc informs me that Milk of Mag and a high fiber diet should clear this right up.  Ok. We visit the grocery store and pick up every high fiber food I could think of.  Its been two days and the pains are still coming on. I'm going to give it till Tuesday and return to the doc.

I've been eating more lately (out of boredom) but its mostly been salads.  Weight this morning is 149! Yep, I broke the 150 barrier.  Not to say that it wont be up over 150 again the next few weeks. The number is nice to see though. I dont think I've been 149 since the early 80's and it was probably only for a few days, hehe.

My mom wants Child #2 for the summer (08) but I had planned on working on her weight this summer. I dont want her to face the same ridicule I did in middle school.  We are joining American Family Fitness in a week or so and they offer a daily program for kids.  I'm very excited that she will have a varied, fun after school program to participate in. She is excited as well and keeps telling me that she cant wait to be involved with some fun activities.  The good part is, I get to work out too.  I'm considering driving up to Moms for a few weeks (me and the kids) but I know Joe will have a problem with this (your car isnt up to that long of a drive, you cant travel alone with 2 kids, etc) but they are really just excuses because he's very protective and thinks I cant manage the trip on my own, which is a load of bullshit. Anyway, I'm going to work on getting the kids their passports first.

Well, I'm gonna get moving. Tata.
