Easters

At my house, Easter is usually pronounced Easters with a Nacho Libre accent, as in, Don't you know that I have had diarrhea since Easters?

The Easter bunny hid candy at our house this morning, and we had a delicious Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt at Cami's house.





I have been doing pretty well on my weight loss quest. Nothing dramatic, but I've been feeling good about my efforts. Until today, when I ate too much. I did skip dessert tonight to try to make up for it, but I don't think that was enough. I have been really dizzy the past few days, so I hope I'm up for exercising tomorrow. Otherwise I'm going to really be getting off track. Losing weight is such a weird thing, because it's the only thing where you can achieve your goal by not doing something. So it should be easy. Like, if you want to get a good grade you have to do hard things. If you want to build muscle or get in shape or run a marathon, you have to do hard things. If you want to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese fluently or remodel your whole house, you have to do hard things. If you want to lose weigh, all you have to do is nothing. Not buy that candy bar, not put that thing in your mouth. Keep on walking past the donuts in the break room and don't stop. Don't get up and get a snack. But somehow it's harder to just do nothing in this case.

I cannot believe the amount of money we've spent on health care this year. Thousands, and it's only April. And I cannot believe the amount of money the doctor's office bills the insurance for some of the most simple things. Brittney's track physical and immunizations were over $400. He listened to her heart and looked in her ears. Seriously? Lexi's first diabetes appointment at the Clinic came in at well over $700 for a half hour appointment.

I can't believe it's midterms. A few more weeks and then the school year will be over.
