Baby Steps

Sauerkraut Here!

Tomorrow I weigh-in and it’s not going to be pretty. I was doing really well and then Friday happened. It was probably my worst day on the job… Any job… That I’ve ever had. Thank shitness I had some buddies to take my mind off things, but I still sampled some Red Mango (a frozen yogurt shop known for its all-natural frozen yogurt. This is probably why I didn’t like it.) and made Chickpea take me to McDonalds on the way home from our outing. Sigh. The next day I think we ate Noodles (which was awful, DON'T get the Bacon, Mac and Cheeseburger, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking) and Sonic (I couldn’t resist the Red Velvet Blast thingy), fuck my life.

How precious is this photo?

However, today is a new day and I’m going to get back on the bandwagon, I need to stay focused.  Baby steps, baby steps!

I was lucky enough to have friends to surround myself with this weekend and that meant more to me than they will ever know.

Perhaps the highlight of my weekend was a conversation with my brother. Apparently my nephew (Izzy) asked him Saturday night, “Where his Sauerkraut was?” My nephew is two-years-old and it shocks me that he remembers who I am. I would expect that he would remember who I was when I’m around him, but not when I haven’t seen the little guy in a few months. Really, it melts my heart. All I want is to be a part of those boy’s lives, for them to know who I am and that I love them very much. Toward the end of our conversation Izzy got on the phone said, “Hi Sauerkraut. Love you. Bye.” Tender.

This just in! I JUST received a video from The Neighbor Girl and my Dweedle Bug has taken his first steps!

I tired to post the video, but it wouldn't let me... So I'm posting a photo of him eating an Oreo instead.

I’m very excited for him, but a little sad for myself. I loved it when Izzy was tiny and I could hold him as much as I wanted and he didn’t have a choice. Then he started walking… And the monster hasn’t stopped going! Getting some snuggle time with him is impossible. So, I’m very happy for little Dweddle Bug, but I’m going to miss our snuggle time.

That is all.
