thrive

thanks fellow slimmers for the help yesterday making it through the naptime munchies. i actually was just too wrapped up in this place to go and eat. that’s how it worked last year, too. I have to ban food from the computer again. I have slipped on that recently and think it’s a BAD habit to let happen. So, no more food at the computer.

Am doing some internet shopping and that feels great. Although, I think we waited too long and are about to disappoint our son over Geo Trax. It’s the only thing he asked for for Christmas. And, Target was out of them this morning - oops! Out of stock on line, too. Will trya and find some. I don’t know if Austin really cares or it’s just ath we kept prompting him to have an idea of what he wants to tell Santa. This whole thing can make me a bit Scrooge-y as it is over the top on the materialism thing. And yet, I like gifts - giving and recieving, but I am a bit tired of STUFF. Most of my job as a stay at home mom is managing stuff, loads of plastic stuff, too. Anyway, I digress into my views on all that…Don’t want to dis the kiddo. Will see what we can do. Am afraid to buy from a rando person on Amazon or Ebay as who knows if the shipping will really be on time. Found some posters on Craigslist - hopefully they still have the stuff. I love the idea of buying something like that used since it’s pricey, plastic, and we just don’t know how into it he’ll really be.

okay, am going to make some tea. Another rough sleep night, so need to have a little caffeine to keep moving. Hubby home late tonight, too, so it’s all me.

ps - didn’t bake for his party but did make some soup and delivered it to my friends yesterday - a bit crazed but glad to do it. Plus it was tasty and made enough for us. Spinach and Tortellini soup.
