All over the place

My emotions are litterally all over the place the last couple of days.

Things at home are really good... my kids are fabulous and my hubby is being a gem these days... I think I can say that I've gotten the dishes habit down and the finances are fairly stable at this point. The deck is almost done, we've spent a lot of time de-cluttering (which always makes me feel accomplished) and we had a great family weekend at the Portland Historical Races last weekend... so with all of that I'm happy and good.

I spent some time posing in the mirror last night... trying to really analize what my body is doing this last 4-5 weeks and the truth is, I just don't see a lot more fat on my body except in the tummy (abs are a little less defined)... but my arms still look good... my triceps are great, my back and legs (except for my jiggle butt) are still there... so I know I can't have gained 12 lbs of fat... I would see it... after all I am the most hyper critical of my physique... so there must be somthing else going on.

So I scheduled my "annual exam" with my dr. and asked to have a note put on the appointment that I'd like to talk to her about my weight, hormones, thyroid, etc... and possibly get a referral to an endocrinologist and/or dietician if anything comes up wonky in my blood-pannel.

And then last night I realized I didn't have my ring on and couldn't remember when I'd taken it off, so I started tearing up my bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (anywhere I might have taken it off) trying to find it. Spent an hour and a half panicking that I'd lost my ring and then realized it was probably in my gym bag which was still in the mini at work with Mike... so I called him up, he checked, and voila, there it was.

And now I am super anxious about having 11 house guests... did you hear me? Yeah... the number has grown to ELEVEN house guests... including 3 camper trailer things and THANK GOD for my next door neighbors who volunteered space in their driveway and in front of their house for parking and even offered electrical hookups if necessary to help accomodate everyone. I think this may end up being the most comprehensive impromptu Palmer Reunion ever... whoah... Only ones missing will be my oldest sister, my Aunt Cheryl's husband and my cousin Mike's family... so ok... that's 9 other people... but I've got more than 50% of the living Palmer Clan descended from Bill and Alta Palmer comming to my house in about a week.

So like I said, random, all over the place, didn't exercise yesterday, doing boot-camp today because I just feel like getting a GOOD leg workout in. Finally got my weekly pill organizer set up so I'm takin all my supplements at the right times... etc... etc... ad nauseum.

I'm going to stop typing now...

Maybe I'll call Dave Ryan and tell him to get his ass over here before my fear of body fat completely consumes me.
