How long were you on the Elavil? I've been on it for about 3 months and have gained about 4-5 pounds. Believe me, I can afford to gain a total of 15 or so to be at a good weight for me. I was down to like 82lbs three months ago so if I do gain some weight I will be happy!

Oh you'll be a good mom too if Ollie wants to play a sport. Don't worry, there are a lot of moms that read novels

It sometimes gets crazy but you manage somehow. Working till 5 each day when your child has to be at a game or practice by 5, THAT stinks but we somehow do it. Believe it or not the thing I hate most is that I can't cook real dinners during baseball season. I make a lot of salads(taco, chicken)put meatballs in the crock pot and quick meals but it's still tough. You do it for your kids. Actually when we are done baseball (which is in October because of "Fall Ball"

)my husband just walks around the house like a lost puppy. You arrange your life to be a certain way for months and then all of the sudden it's back to normal and he doesn't know what to do with himself. Oh and then basketball starts in November until February! That we just started doing last year. It's a fun time for the boys though. It's not real competetive. It's just basically learning the sport and getting exercise in our winter months since it gets cold here

That is so nice you and hubby can work from home. I have the ability to do it and I do it when I get behind in my job but I don't have the option of doing it full time from home. It does make it nice though when either of my kids are sick. I can bring work home and do it from home.

Don't worry. You'll lose the weight. It seems to take a bit longer with the first one. I remember doing 75 sit ups every night after I had my first one. It eventually came off and I got my tummy back but ya know even being skinny, certain ways that I sit, I have some little bulges at the waist when I sit

Don't ever get a tummy tuck either!!! Have you ever watched those channels where the women get liposuction and boob jobs? OMG they look like they are in so much pain afterwards!

P.S. Bathrooms were still not open today at the tournament! Can you believe it?!?!? Luckily we lost the first game and we were done by 10:00am. I ate carefully(fruit loops and rice krispies DRY)and tummy cooperated. I'll let you know how next week goes! I'm thinking it won't be so good cause I'm waiting for my period to come and you know it will strike just when I don't want it too!)
