The Weaning Regimen

On Friday, MyKid stayed home sick.

And I've been so tired...All I want to do is sleep.

I wanted to post a photo, but frankly, even I'm having a hard time with my looks.

Here's the deal: I put on a bunch of weight, all of it above my waist. My pants fit the same way.

But, my legs are weak.

Last week, running for the phone, I literally tipped over and fell down.

But I got up.

Have a good week!
