I have a minute to spend with my laptop.

First of all thanks to all of you who voted for my sister's shoes! It's not too late if you would still like to vote.

And thank you for all your encouraging words yesterday. I do need to take it easy but I wonder if my problem is something more than just post pregnancy tiredness. Don't tell my midwife but I was back at the gym within two weeks of having my last two babies. I wasn't doing anything strenuous, just walking on the treadmill until I felt good enough to do more. I'm not even close to being able to walk this time around at three weeks. Yesterday I couldn't even stand in line for five minutes at the bank. I had to sit down until it was my turn.

I had Stranger check my blood pressure when he got home and it was 84/48. I don't know much about it but I think that is a little low so I'm going to make an appointment with my midwife and see what she thinks my problem could be. I've also been having headaches every night which is really strange for me. I never get headaches unless I go too many hours without food which I make sure never happens!

In other news, the kids and I cleaned out the pantry, the fridge and the kitchen this morning. I mostly directed the operation while going through the pile of mail that has accumulated in the last few weeks. You know about our problem with mail. I want to start working on that again.

I also snagged a nap this afternoon. I had to sleep with my hand holding a pacifier in Sweetness's mouth until she passed out because she didn't have the same desire for a nap that I had and the kids were running around outside instead of babysitting for me. Dang them! They think cleaning for two hours entitles them to some free time!

Stranger is home from work now and putting them to work in the garage. I'm afraid to go out there or I might do or say something to make them stop. Like a good wife I've been nagging Stranger about it forever. It's not like he has anything better to do with the precious few hours he has at home right?

I loved reading The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell so much that I'm now reading his book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking . That man is a fascinating writer!!! I don't want to put his books down! It looks like he has one more that I will have to pick up, Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Some Don't. It sounds like another good one doesn't it?

My boobs are calling to Sweetness so I guess it's time to go wake her up but I have to tell you one more thing first. The other day Lovely asked me to snuggle with her before her nap. I was getting ready to feed Sweetness so I brought her with me and started nursing her in bed next to Lovely. Lovely got a big scowl on her face and said, "Why are you putting those boobs in my bed? I don't want your boobs in here Mommy!" Apparently I was welcome but my boobs weren't!!!
