Something to make me laugh

I could not find any awesome quality uploads of this scene from "Grown Ups" but this scene makes me laugh until I cry...

being a girl (tmi female stuff)

So I am dealing with postpartum period #2.

Because of this, I was surprised to see the scale drop at all this week as in the years between having Son and then having Baby Girl, I would almost invariably throw on 5 - 10 lbs a few days before my period would start and then go back down shortly after it was over.

It didn't happen last month or this month so I do hope that THAT continues! I still feel bloated but not nearly what I used to.

And this one is worse than the one last month but not quite as bad as I remember that they used to be.

But after going over 500 days without a "real" period - I can't really complain.  Last month's was uncomfortable as hell but not normal but this one, it's business as usual... except for the lack of water bloating weight (which i don't miss).

weight: 212.8 lbs

I feel like I'm in a bit of a slump.  Still not sleeping well and that really has an adverse impact on my days.

Was busy with co-op stuff this week (I'm the President of our Board of Directors where I live and on the Personnel Committee) so last night and the night before I was out at meetings.

With my period, I've been dealing with hormone-related headaches and cramps.

At the moment I am re-watching this week's episode of "Glee", sipping some tea (one bag de-caf green tea and one bag herbal lemon tea steeping in the teapot) and blogging.

Baby Girl seems to be really enjoying the Glee boys as "The Justin Bieber Experience" singing "Somebody to Love."

Son said on his way out to school that he thinks that he could sound more like Justin Bieber if he tried, but he thought the Glee boys were "OK."

The whole Justin Bieber thing is kind of entertaining.  I can't remember if I've mentioned it on here before or not but Son used to have a major hate on for the Biebs.

When asked why, his explanation was as follows:

"All the girls are in love with Justin Bieber and when I am a teenager and want a girlfriend, they will all be in love with Justin Bieber so I can't have one."

Once he finally realized that not every girl will be in love with the Biebs once Son is old enough to want to have a girlfriend, Son then admitted that he likes Bieber's music and hair.

Now, on to the freakishly uncoordinatedness of me aka the perils of weight loss.

So, I haven't been spending much re: new clothes because things are tight financially around here.  Well, I may have to consider it.

I was walking up the stairs last night and my PJ bottoms started to slide down and I didn't notice and I managed to catch the big toe on my left foot in the bottom of my right PJ leg and tripped myself and fell.

Of course, I fell bad leg first against the stairs.  Yep, that's right.  Landed on the leg I fell on last week outside on the ice of the rec center.

Check out my knee NOW...

A Monday Moment of Laughter

Sometimes things really amuse me... here are some pictures I've taken of things that make me laugh.

You'd think this would have been made in CANADA...

Kids say the damnedest things!

Was just talking to my oldest child and was asked why I was on the fatsecret site and I said, "Because I want to lose over 100 lbs."

The reply: "Then you should wait until you have lots of money."

me: "Why?"

The follow-up: "Because then you can do Herbal Magic because it works and it lasts."

me: ROLLING MY EYES!!! Trying not to laugh!
