Things I could have said...

I have this habit of writing entries in my head, imagining what people on my flist will comment, and then never writing them. It just seems that I have no real time to type. So, here's a list of entries I could have written:

*Joe and I had dinner at a churrascaria on Saturday. The food was good and it brought back great memories of Brazil.

* We made a mint chip cheesecake on Sunday night. It was sort of like one of those college dates where you have no car so you just stay home and make something yummy, except we had a car.

* We skipped church on Sunday. Neither of us likes the one we used to go to but neither of us it motivated to find a new one. I should fix this.

* I worry a lot about being a good mom and making the right decisions for Ellie. I can't tell if this is mainly about parenting (learning a new skill) or if I just always worry. It's not serious *worry* but I spend a lot of time thinking about her.

* I am liking the gym but finding that I am tired when I get home. 2 lbs down, 17 to go.

See, in my mind, I worry about something. Worry of the week - I am allowing Ellie to develip bad sleeping habits. Then, I give specifics and the fret about what I've done/not done.

Then, a few non-parents say something like "I've never done it but it sounds like you are doing a good job and trust your instints."

Then the parents say, "I have done it, you might try something like this. In the end, trust your instincts. You are doing a good job."

Then I feel better.

I need to find a way to just skip to the better part.

Aww! Well at least it ends on a good note!

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see the phrase "Joe and I..." I''m so glad he's home with you and Ellie, and the glow reaches all the way to DC.

You are a fabulous mother. Spending a lot of time thinking about her is a good thing. She's going to grow up knowing that you care about her and her well-being more than just about anything else. She's a very lucky little girl to have parents like you and Joe.

Thank you! So good to see you again. I can't wait to hear/see everything from the wedding.
