Ever since I got the iPod Touch, that has been my primary use of checking in on the chat boards & facebook-- tho blogging is a bit of a pain on there, being i have giant adult hands and the keys on the iTouch are made for elves. Regardless, Im loving my new toy. I ♥ my new addiction.
We had our monthly parent's night at the preschool tonight-- the moment we walked in the door, P did a 180 and went from happy ready to play child to head buried in my crotch sobbing "dont leave me!" child. Oi. It was interesting having a parent discussion with the principal while her on my lap-- but I will say, she at least kept quiet and sat contently. Another little boy was in the same mood and wouldn't let his mom go either-- tho he also wandered in and out of the room the whole time-- a bit of a distraction. I guess I'll keep my kid afterall. ;-)
They did a cinnamon ornament craft tonight-- the whole room was filled with cinnamon-- Paige was funny and quick to tell EVERYONE about Mommy's allergy to it. The teacher panicked-- but I let her know I'm ok as long as I dont put my hands on my face. So another Mom & the teacher helped P with her ornament...meanwhile I sucked in all the cinnamon dust. Blech. Im still all itchy and hazy. Lovely.
What religion totally and completely prohibits EVERYTHING Christmas-like-as well as Angels? I know Jewish folk don't celebrate Christmas-- a good friend growing up was Jewish, as my SIL and a few coworkers. But to be to the point in which the teachers were all in a panic or wonder as to what little Greggory could use as a cookie cutter? And it couldn't be called an "ornament" either, according to his mother. She said NO to the Angels, NO candy canes...just the snowmen or gingerbread men were OK. Just seemed a bit much..... Im curious. I felt bad earlier when i had mentioned these would be cute ornaments to put on the tree at home ...and she was quick to reply "No tree at OUR home". Yikes. Sorry. Mike and I dont' practice ANY religion-- but both were raised by Catholic families.
Of course I feel stupid even asking that. Its just, even my Jewish friends growing up were OK with the basic holiday stuff like Frosty & Rudolph and Angels and stuff.... Just no Santa crap. Oh well...i just found it a bit wierd and wonder how school will go as this boy gets older..
Anyhow... Had my Doctor's appt earlier this week-- internally, I am A-OK-- go back in next week after I've ovulated to check my Progesterone levels to make sure my body is where is should be post-ovulation-- as well as check my thyroid, full blood panel & Vitamin D levels. We are not TTC this month-- I desperatly needed the mental & emotional break...and would like to enjoy the holidays without nausea. Doctor and I agreed I am suffering from a depression spout. I have a long history with it-- but also a horrible issue with medication too-- so it was suggested I get my ass back on the exercise train. Being more active will help me lose the weight I most desperatly need to lose- as well as help mentally. So far OK. Ive worked out 3x in a row this week-- tho I did have a snack binge after Paige went to bed tonight...so that probably just killed all those burned calories. :-P
Have my Holiday party for work tomorrow. Mike has to work-- so Paige will be there with me....so no drinking for me. Yippee. Woohoo. Yea. Ah well.
Well, winter is finally here in New England. Can't complain-- last year the snow started in early November. This year it waited til mid December. I'll take it!
OK-- need to get ready for bed soon.....

That's awesome you've worked out 3xs! And don't neglect your blog for so long!
ETA: Ok- the more I think about it-- the more I thought too much about it. Thinking of the other side... the child is just 4...and teaching a faith Im sure is tough for a little one. Introducing items that are not of one's faith when one doesnt grasp the concept yet can just be even more confusing-- so on the mother's side...i understand her wanting to keep "christmasy" stuff from him for now... at 4 he's probably just now starting to "get" some of what the family believes in--no reason to cause confusion. I just hope she is realistic in knowing that eventually he will be bombarded with the other faiths and cultures.... lets hope for their sake tho, it happens after he knows where he belongs so he himself can sort the stuff out.
