It's another beautiful day here in sunny New York (never heard it referred to so well in November? It will change, don't worry!) Brian wants to do the leaves, we're a bit behind... I want to paint the kids rooms. I also want to get to Wal-mart and just have a normal day where I can take my kids out to play. Sure, by the time he has his surgery it will be darn cold and I'll be darned if I go outside!

Junk food is my worst enemy and my best friend. Six years ago when I met my husband I was 40 lbs. lighter. I see myself 40 lbs lighter but when I look in the mirror it totally shocks me! How could I have gained that extra leg or that second stomach?! My husband tells me I look great, but do I really want to hear that? NO siree! I want it gone!
My sister looks amazing, but she also has the time (she works very hard and goes to school part-time) to work out w/o a little one trying to jump on her back. Em does love to exercise, but on her own terms and 10 minutes is enough! Have you seen my behind? Ten minutes will take off one gram of fat! Ah well, in time they all say. Yep, I'd love to be a size 6 again, I'll even take a size 8. Just two sizes to go and I'll be in a single digit again. The problem is I love to eat, hate to work out alone and can always find an excuse.

Mckinley is doing fine, he's got a check up tomorrow with the cardiologist and Friday is the pre-surgery date. I'm getting nervous...
Poor Emma is nervous and doesn't know why. I'm afraid to leave her when he has his surgery. The only time I left her overnight was when I had Mac. She's my baby! OK, you're probably getting the brunt of my nervousness, but what are friends for?
