soooo behind!

well, so much has been happening but not anything that really deserves documentation & certainly no pictures to accompany all of it :) david left for china 10 days ago and, of course, that's when the germs came to find us :) when all was said and done, delaney and i both got a round of antibiotics and seem to be on the mend - of course it took me 2 hours and 5 different pharmacies to hunt down the correct antibiotic for delaney one night... thankfully my sister had come down to visit and got to babysit the whole time! i finally found it at 9 pm at the walgreen's on grand parkway & fry (about 30 mins. from our house) and could only get it partially filled! argh :( my sickness put a slight damper on my fitness efforts but i've managed to squeeze in 2 sessions with my trainer so far! in the last month i've only lost about 5 lbs. (slow & steady wins the race!) but feel much better in my clothes! :) the aforementioned "contest" has been cancelled - when the scale didn't budge for a good 2 1/2 weeks & our frustrations were growing we decided that it was best not to focus on the numbers anyway - so i forked over the money for a trainer because i decided that i'm not getting any younger (34 this summer - hard to believe!) and the girls are both going to be in school next year which officially denies me the "i had just a baby" excuse :) and it's finally something i want to do for ME. as mom's we lose ourselves so often - not that it's a totally bad thing because i know that God has called us, as mothers, to a life of sacrifice and servanthood, but every once in a while it's good to remember that we are also women, wives, girlfriends... not just housekeepers! maybe if i get brave i'll post a picture or two - my goal is to actually be comfortable with having my picture taken... something that has eluded me since my 1st pregnancy! over 8 years ago! (again, hard to believe!)

so, not a real deep, meaningful post :) just enough to let you know we are alive (daddy gets home sunday night - phew!) and, for the most part, doing well! :) big hugs to each of my sweet friends who happen to check in on us - love you!
