Birthday weekend

It is not my birthday weekend, but rather a much more important birthday weekend. My miracle baby is going to be three on Tuesday! Since my sister was here until yesterday morning, we started the celebrating extra early. We had a birthday dinner out on Thursday for Sophie and her auntie Gina, who's bday is five days after Sophie. Grandma made a yummy birthday cake, with leftovers for Friday. Friday we got take out from Taco Del Mar, since they don't have those in Denver. I did good on that, getting the small burrito and making substitutions. Plus, I skipped the cake on Friday. Yesterday it rained, so we left it up to Sophie if she wanted daddy's homemade pizza or a picnic on the floor, and of course she wanted a picnic. Somehow she heard me whisper the McDonald's possibility to Chet, so that is what she wanted. I got a small burger and fries, which isn't too bad points wise. Then I made cookies for a picnic that we were suppose to go to today. I had two of those. While I still have 20.5 weeklies left, the last few days I have done terrible on the good health guidelines, and had lots of sodium. My face swelled up Friday night, and last night my feet did. I need to drink lots of water and do pretty good today and tomorrow, or I will for sure have a gain. Tomorrow we are having an ice cream social to celebrate Sophie's birthday with her friends. I will have to avoid the ice cream. I am making mini cupcakes for the party, too. Then Tuesday is her actual birthday. Thank God that is weigh in day, since I am baking a cake and we are planning to take her to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner!

Right now I am pretty overwhelmed with life, and am trying not to let that effect my eating. Normally it would. On top of that, I am in a piss poor mood today. Those of you that read my other blog may recall my list of things that I just "don't get". To add to that, I don't get why people in Seattle cancel long made plans at the hint of a little rain. I wanted to have Sophie's party today, but a group I belong to had a picnic planned for today. There was never any hint it may be canceled due to rain. We had a covered shelter reserved. I started making my stuff last night, and we told Sophie we were going to a real picnic today. This morning I get an email that it is canceled. No explanation, so I must assume it was canceled due to the threat of a few raindrops. BAER. Really, am I the only one that still planned to go? Very disappointing. So I guess Sophie, Chet and I will have our own picnic. And next year I will not make her birthday plans around other peoples plans.

  1. I thought it was canceled due to the "personal problems" of someone.

    May the sodium depart your body by Tuesday morning.
