October 1st

I just love the sound of it - autumn finally starts to ring true! There is a certain coolness to the air and it just makes my heart happy!

Some things on my plate, consuming my already over-filled brain:

• obtaining a grant to start up a local breastfeeding support group
• finding a childcare situation in order to work one to two days a week
• re-sleep training the monkey (did see improvement tonight - if I wasn't desperate to get the grant app done immediately, there would have been a heart wrenching post last night)
• a change in my husband's job which of course affects our whole life and major uncertainty about that (not so much a change per se, but a speeding up of events I wasn't quite ready for. Really not the drama I am making it, but I am still salty over the whole deal!)
  
• FINALLY getting settled and into our routine
• getting all my "crap" done that is constantly floating on the edges of my brain so I feel I can't ever "truly" relax
• starting up again (minus a couple day lapse) on the T-Tapp with renewed vigor. Odd that I am weighing about 6 lbs more, but people have already said they see a difference, albeit small, but I will take anything at this point. That is certainly enough motivation for me. And if my tape measure ever gets here, I can have some hard data points as well.
• need to get back on the vitamins and mona vie, because after 4 or 5 days off, I can really tell a difference.

So, I will get there. But for now, I am relishing the simple fact that we are now in October. Something so refreshing and renewing in that tidbit of knowledge for me - and I need all the help I can get!
