Midweek Confessions

It seems that with my new job, taking care of Harper, and planning my father-in-law's wedding I have been neglecting this portion of my blog.. So, as you can imagine I have alot of confessions to make up for.

Here is goes...

- My newest pet peeve is people not responding to an event. I am currently planning my father-in-law's wedding and was in charge of the RSVP. I even included a self addressed and stamped envelope for the invitee to respond to . Out of 150 people that Tom and his finance invited we have only received 80 back. I just do not understand why it is so hard for people to check yes or no and place the card in the envelope and mail it back. I guess some people just need a class on how to be proper.

- I am really getting annoyed about other "mother" friends who try to express their own opinions on how to raise a child. Being a teacher, I saw this type of behavior with those "helicopter" parents. I mean I appreciate the advice but sometimes it can be just rude and pushy. My philosophy is " I am not telling you how to raise your child, so don't tell me how raise mine."

- Planning a wedding for my father-in-law has been rather stressful. See, Tom is marrying a lady who has no interest in planning this event,just getting married, so it was left up to me and Tom. Needless to say, this has been rather challenging and I cannot wait for it to come. It is this weekend , so I will let you know how it all goes.

- I have worked out for the last 2 weeks and have not lost 1 pound. I cannot figure out why. I literally do cardio for 45 minutes and weights for 20. I am now starting to think that my eating and drinking habits need to change.

- Since, I am now working from home, working out in the morning, and taking care of Harper, I sometimes do not even shower until 5pm.I know this so disgusting but sometimes that is the only free time I have all day. It is so amazing how hard it is to watch a 6 month old while answering emails and phone calls but I am not going to complain since I am the one able to watch her each day.

- I really want to read " 50 Shades of Grey" when I go on vacation in two weeks. My problem is that I am going with my parents and I do not want them to know I am reading such a naughty book. Maybe, I will buy it and put a book cover on it :)

- I have a business meeting next Tuesday morning in Harrisburg, Pa with a very large customer. I am really nervous because this is going to be the first night that Harper stays with my parents overnight without me or Will. ( Will is also travelling for work in the Carolina's) I know she will do fine since, my mom runs a daycare and preschool each day but I still just worry she may need me..Oh, I need to really let go a little :)

That's all I have until next week...
