trying to lose weight

and not succeeding!
Maggie is having fun eating oatmeal or mixed cereal. Today I gave her organic pears with rice.
I do have to get rid of my nonorganic baby food. I bought it on sale and I feel guilty I cant gave it to her.
I put Maggie in a chair today she looks great!
She really needs sleep training. Some days she sleeps great and other days horribly. I need to read the weissbluth book again. Its very helpful and Michael sleep trained to it before.

Well a shorter entry today. We decided to put Michael in Pierce camp this year. All camps are expensive but the alternative is that he plays video games everyday or goes out biking everyday by himself which is not safe around where we live. So he has to go to camp since all the neighbors wont be around. Half the kids are going to sleepaway camp if older and if his age, going to Pierce.
We wanted him to go to OAsis but they dont pick up near us but 5 minutes away. CAmp ends at 4 pm but we both come home at 7pm. Its impossible to come home earlier. Usually David doesnt get home until 7:45pm.
Its the price we pay for a dual income family. Although not sure how other families manage on only one income. Its expensive to live in nyc!! very!
Not to mention the price of a stayin nanny ranges something like 19000 to 20000 a year.
Its insane but what can you do. We have to provide for our children something which I detest a little but noone else will look after them. Both our mothers dont want to take care of the children fulltime and they are too old to do so. Its too stressful on them.


I need to lose my weight so I can fit into my old clothes again!
More on the difficulty of disciplining a 8 year old later but Maggie is a wonderful little girl. I think she will be easy to discipline. Its like she came to this world so my life would be easier and sweeter. She still looks like Ava Maggie to me though!
Ava Maggie!
She looks exactly like my motherinlaw except shes smiling.

Got some SD cards from microcenter today so I can take more photos of Maggie! Yay. 8MB so I can fit lots of photos and only 24 dollars. Well not the cheapest thing I found some cheaper on internet but those deals always run out. And I need more photos.

time to hit the sack!
I still feel guilty for working but not sure that will ever change.
Ah well.
