So this is what I accomplished today...

I put away all of the laundry (did the laundry and folded yesterday)
I vacuumed and dusted the floors (tumble weeds abound from the below accomplishment)
I brushed my very hairy dog (you could make another dog with all her fur)
I bathed my son (he's so sweet and loves his bath!)
I took a shower (long over due!)
I stuck to my diet (life style change!!)

This staying at home thing is hard because there is no bravos, i don't want to say accomplishments without sounding like i'm discounting staying at home. I worked for so long, that i'm used to someone saying, "wow, great job," a bravo. With my son being so young and my husband being oblivious no one notices these things. I feel like i'm a 5 year old looking for acceptance when my hubby gets home. "Look, i vacuumed, look our clothes are put away, don't the hardwood floors look great!" I really need to find a better way to feel accomplished!!

I did stick to the diet and burned some awesome calories vacuuming with my son strapped to me in the worlds greatest invention, the Baby Bjorn. I need to get in the diet zone, i've been there before, it's just reminding yourself that eating healthy isn't harder than eating unhealthy. I talked to my best friend today and she (a skinny minnie if you ever met one) reminded me that she thinks about what she eats all the time, nothing comes easy. I guess that's what i need to remember... this won't come easy and it's something i will always have to work at. But if i could have a super power it would be a high metabolism!

Off to bed!
