Crap

Uuuggh, sick today. I have a sore throat and my neck feels huge.

This week has be a series of blunders and inconveniences that are totally throwing me out of whack. It's rough staying positive but I'm doing a pretty good job, all considering, and I mentally feel optimistic. I haven't swum once yet, and that's not helping.

I took my daughter to the doctor's for her 4 year old checkup and shots. Everything thing is going well with her and she's developing fine…except she's overweight apparently! She's just shy of 39 inches and she weighs 38 pounds (fully clothed and just after breakfast).

I was not expecting this. She doesn't look heavy. The doctor said she by no means needs to go on a diet but it looks like her weight is heading in a steeper trajectory than her height. The doc didn't love that we were vegetarians and gave me some diet advice, most of which I agreed with. As I write this I'm calming down and it doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world. She's not so far gone that we can't just tilt her diet slightly to get back on track. I also think my poor Mini needs more physical activity.

*sigh*, ever so slight. I don't have energy for a bigger one.
