Day Twenty

1/16/2010

Rush, rush, rush that's all I do and I need an intervention to simplify my life! It's so hard when you are the one who has to make the choice to simplify...can't someone else just step in and say, "enough"!!
Teaching was from 8-3 and went great. I drank lots of water but not much food. Skipped breakfast. No lunch. Only snack was peanuts. TOTAL FAILURE and my metabolism will probably completely shut down and start collecting every ounce for fat again thinking I am trying to starve to death. Amazingly, I had energy and no problem teaching or talking. Normally I would have HAD to eat something and I would have had trouble with my thoughts being clear and struggled with timeliness. I stood and taught all 6 hours-amazing! Also, very clear with communication! I know I can't abuse my body like this and keep it up but it is amazing how it compensates when you do have an emergency type day.
After teaching, I dropped off my delicious meal (I trust it is anyways since I never tasted it :)) and held my little Chase for the next two hours. He is beautiful and that is the honest truth not just a prejudiced opinion from an overly doting Auntie! :) LOL. Roundest little head I have ever seen and he has my ears! I love how God literally knits these little bodies from the genetic pool and comes out with such adorable combinations. He is a Dollie and I love him. I hugged and cuddled my little Mr. Independent (Landon, Chase's older bro) and he is adjusting nicely to the new little brother. He is still greatly alarmed though whenever he starts to cry.
Life is so good.
I met with one of my dear friends for dinner after that at On the Border and ate a delicious fajita beef salad. I was like a starving person eating for the first time! I drank water and refused the chips. I am SO thankful everyday that God is helping me do things that normally I would have thought impossible.
Good night!
