So nothing too exciting to post about, so here is a quick rundown of random thoughts/happenings for today.
* I've mentioned getting back on the the diet coke wagon before. Today I went to In-n-Out (my fave) and got a large with extra ice. It was actually really good and brought back memories of good times. One caveat though, I think being off NutraSweet for 6 years has made me really sensitive to it. I felt a little nauseous and dizzy and had a headache about a hour after drinking it. What is that all about? Do I need to build up my NutraSweet tolerance? Who'd have thought?
* The kids broke my sunglasses today. Not a big deal since I buy the cheap $5 ones at Target. I've gone through too many pairs to buy anything that costs more than that. The last pair I broke was a year ago (almost exactly), so it's probably time.
* Helene usually poops every few days or so. Today she pooped 5 times. FIVE TIMES!! Is it the Indian food I ate the other night?? Sorry kiddo!
* We went to Souplantation tonight (yay me!). It's still lemon month which made me happy and the kids behaved the ENTIRE TIME.
* Went to Costco today and stuck to my shopping list and was in and out of there in 25 minutes. I think Wednesday afternoon may be the day to go. No line to check out and almost no line for gasoline. Who knew?
* Postpartum body sucks. I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning and almost had a heart attack! One more reason to get back on the diet coke. **sigh** Having a baby when you're over 30 sucks. Stupid metabolism.
* The kids have gone 2 full days now without watching any TV. I'm doing an experiment (that may drive me insane), but I am trying to really limit their TV time--especially since Sammy will be getting plenty of TV time after his surgery.
That's it--off to bed! I'm hoping to get to bed before midnight for once.

I buy the $5 Target sunglasses too! Those are the only way to go. I have never actually broken any, but they always end up getting scratched, so really $5 is all I can justify spending!!
Welcome back to the Diet Coke world...I quite while I was preggers but got back on when Sienna's wild sleeping patterns started happening. If I had three kids I'd probably nned more than a Diet Coke!!!!!! Also, your comment on my blog about you "past" working life was awesome...I had no idea. Holy mama life is crazy. I would love to see you post about it sometime. Thanks for making this frumpy mom feel good.
Great randomness!
sorry about your $5 sunglasses. LAME.
And good job with the limited tv time. I'm very impressed. I was trying to play hard ball yesterday afternoon and limit it too. Hard to do!
you are a brave soul (or maybe crazy) going to costco by yourself with 3 kids. that frightens me!!
i love YOUR random post! and wow, no tv for two days? amazing!
p.s. i can go walking tomorrow after work! how's that?
Wow, good job with the tv control! And yes, how does a mother live without diet coke?
I still haven't found a good day to hit Costco, Sounds like I need to try Wed.
You're a brave soul. I also decided to try and be better about Max's TV time. I think I turned him into an addict during my first icky trimester. You should do a post about entertainment ideas.
Costco and 3 kids! Trying to maneuver those jumbo carts through the aisles and people that stand in the middle of the aisle with no clue are bad enough without adding kids to the mix.
