Not a good day

I woke up this morning with the dry, thin cough that tells me my yearly bout with bronchitis has arrived. Sure enough, after several hours of making work-related phone calls, my throat feels like I swallowed something sharp, my chest is tight, and I just want to crawl back into bed.

I’m bribing Ryan with the promise of a new Naruto comic if he does all the dishes.

Despite not being two yet, Kaitlyn has entered the Terrible Twos phase of toddler development, punctuated by her responding to every question with a cute shake of her curls and the word “NO”. She also must be finished with her current growth spurt, because she is back to eating a bite of food here and there, and throwing the rest on the floor (the dog is happy).

My job description, duties, and schedule completely changed again today, in the blink of an eye. It came as something of a shock to me, but I am trying very hard to just go with the flow. I believe in what BlogTalkRadio is doing, and I’m happy to help them in whatever way they need, in exchange for being able to work from home, etc.

Speaking of things I believe in, I KNOW that Weight Watchers is reasonable, sensible, liveable. I know that if I make a plan and stick to it, I CAN lose weight. And yet, I haven’t been journaling, or drinking the water, or eating the fruit and veggies, or anything at all. Gee, why am I fat? Hmmm.

I’m getting my hair cut tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll be in a better mood so I don’t end up with the Katie Holmes cut. Friday, I’m going to the doctor for more Wellbutrin and Lexapro, because, yeah.

I’m going to end this now, this post of ennui and angst. It helps to type the words, even as it sucks to feel them.

    So what are they having you do now? Madison hit the terrible 2′s at about 18 months and some days I swear she is still in them. Today she thought it would be fun to stick her finger in Will’s eyes – repeatedly.

    Lisa-I’m back to being a Host Liaison again, and I have to have another week of training. I didn’t know the site well enough yet to do the job I was promoted too.

    Sorry you’re feeling so rotten. Hope you get well soon!
    I am so glad my kids are done with the terrible twos, now I’m headed into teen years. I may soon be wishing for the “2″s back!

    I hear you. I’m having more of a freak-out day than bad day, but still. Fwiw, I *love* the haircut I got a few weeks ago, and kinda plan to keep this for a few years. I’m actually wearing my hair down all the time! Was *always* in ponytails before. Always.

    Oh, and those terrible two’s? I’m still waiting for my 4yo to outgrow them. His latest MO is to ignore everything we say and act shocked when we send him to his room or take certain toys away as punishment.

  6. I hope you get better soon! I wish I could give you encouragement about the terrible two’s but my daughter didn’t outgrow them until she was four! Take Care!

    I have the icky yearly run in with bronchitis as well. I feel like I’ve been sick forever, it just won’t go away. I’m mostly functional though, it’s kind of weird to be sick and okay at the same time.

    We should start a bloggers weight loss support group. I just completely blew my diet out of the water today…*sigh*
