UGH Babysitters!!!

I am so pissed off right now! So pissed off. I need a babysitter a total of 5 hours a week!! I search high and low, I conduct extensive interviews, I require they be older (over 21), I PAY A LOT!!! and all they have to do is PLAY with B. I would never want them to do more.
I hired a woman after two other babysitters left in a short period of time. BOTH who left found other jobs for more time, that happened to interfere with the time period I needed. No loyalty... they were gone.
Then I did another extensive search, I interviewed so many people. Part of the interview I said "I need a promise you will be with B and I for at least a year. I do not want to keep changing people... for B's sake." Of course I got the promise...
Promises mean nothing to people.... my babysitter quit last night. Long before the one year committment. Long Before.
UGH!!!!

What is Next?

Next - I am training for the Seattle Half Marathon. I do not see any reason to run another full one right now, 13.1 miles is long enough. It is the sunday after thanksgiving... a reason to eat well ;)
The photoshoot for lululemon is moved to the third week in September. I am really excited.
G and I are heading to Vegas with our BFFs Q&A. I cannot wait. B will be here with my mom for the weekend. This is going to be soooo exciting. that is happening in September.
We are getting B ready for school... Lots of playdates. I cannot believe he will be in school four days a week! I will work one, but this is great. Lots of running for me.
Work is good, lots of clients and lots of yoga.
Oh, and I lost that vacation four pounds finally... phew ;)

Weighty Issues

How often do you think about your weight? Seriously? Well, I think and worry about it all the time. You probably are thinking, THAT IS LAME.... it is. I know it is. But when you come from a family like mine, it is an issue. Not only do we talk about it all the time, but my family is quite big really. I mean each member is quite large. I really want them all to be healthy and happy, but they struggle. Believe me, I understand. The people in my family think it is easy for me, that I am the 'Skinny' one. BUt I work so hard. I really do. Seriously. I burned over a thousand calories exercising yesterday. I should say that is not my choice... I taught THREE yoga classes... and trained three clients. It was just my day. Anyways, I GAINED a pound. I am sure it is just water weight... but why does it bother me so much? Because I have this weight in my head I WANT to be... but my body doesn't. I think I look good now, I do... it is hard to maintain too.
I just had to get this out... don't think I am crazy, I just obsess about silly things... Like losing 2 pounds. I am 36 years old... my life is going pretty well right now. Maybe I just need something to complain about. :)
