Manic May 1st

I spent the better part of the night and early morning (2am - 4am) coughing until my stomach muscles began to ache. I awoke again at 8:30am and got ready so fast that I think I passed myself as I entered the shower! I got the kids ready very quickly, and Chris (thankfully) volunteered to take them to school today.

We all leave the house together and I jump in my car and head to QT to spend sixty dollars filling up my tank. I guess we won't be able to eat this week. Ridiculous. In the QT, after fending off several pursuers of the male persuasion (being gorgeous is really tough; kidding, of course...it's not that tough) I grab my coffee, and head back out to sit in the truck and apply my makeup while the $2.90 per gallon unleaded gasoline is being expressed. I sit the coffee on the console, because my cup-holders contained a water bottle (that I haven't even used in about a week) and my cellphone. I know, I could have just moved the cellphone to make room for the coffee, but I was too busy focusing on my eyeliner.

Gas is pumped, makeup is applied, truck is thrown into reverse, SPLASH. Coffee ALL over the console, the seats, and myself. Searing hot coffee, mind you. I scream loudly. I take about 10 seconds to calm down, and continue on to I-20.

I got to work much later than normal, so I already feel behind. I have a coffee stained shirt and blue jeans to boot. Oh and did I mention that I have gained 10 lbs over the past two months? I wasn't able to fit into two different pair of jeans this morning. But my makeup is fierce. :-)

Back to work.
===========================
Update: 7:00pm
I worked out today for the first time in a LONG time. I have actually gained 20 lbs since our family trip around the beginning of March. 20 lbs in two months?!?! How is that even possible? I'm going to weigh myself again on Friday after a few more days of exercise and drinking lots of water. I think that about 6 or 7 lbs of that may be water-retention (and time-of-month)...too much information?
