My husband's work is on CNN. He works for Idaho Statesman and the senator Larry Craig blames the Idaho Statesman for his actions. Work has been interesting for him the last few days. Just thought I would bring that up.

In other news, I am working two days a week now (may turn to three). I have no clothes that fit - NONE!! I am wearing a button up blouse that is ready to pop open because my boobs are now bigger than a size D due to my increasing milk supply. My skirt completely doesn't match but at least it's a little stretchy material that can fit my expanded bum and stomach role that I have since Brian arrived. Actually my bum was big when I was pregnant of course, but at least I had maternity clothes that sort of fit. I never thought I would have a gut. I am seriously considering getting those spanx instead of just holding (trying to hold) it in. I need to go shopping for some bigger clothes. I bought the rebounder trampoline from Home Shopping Network (first purchase ever) and that thing kicks my butt - hopefully will make it smaller given time. I am so out of shape I can only do it for about five minutes. I had Brian over seven weeks ago so I am trying to give myself a break.

Oh well, such is life - where is my chocolate?

You guys are so sweet!Thanks for responding to my random post!!!

I haven't had people ask me if I am pregnant but I have had people seemingly look at my roll when I am only out with my four year old, so I wonder if they think I am preggo. I really just want to fit into at least some of my clothes. I will buy some new clothes in a few weeks if I still can't. Here is the website to the trampoline workout. It may look a little lame but the exercise cds are wonderful!

Saying "in other news" was probably a subconscious thing considering I was talking about the news. Funny.

On my drive to work today, I look down and I had serious leakage going on. I was going to "discreetly" put my breastpads in while driving because I didn't get around to it this morning. Crap! I was too late. My dry clean only shirt that is light colored and too small anyways right now has a beautiful round spot at my nipple area. It's too small now anyways. I am so glad I brought a light sweater today. I was sweating all day but that was better than showing the world my nipple spot. Lovely. I really should do some shopping tomorrow. This will get old.

My job is going well but I am certain the whole staff thinks I am a complete airhead or just plain stupid, seriously folks. I had several meetings today with parents and couldn't even form a sentence. The principal had to ask me for clarification several times and I was ready just to say "fill in the blank while I go sleep in my office". I am making a wonderful first impression to say the least. I am just so stinking tired. The school I work at is in farmville; across the street are cornfields. I have to drive almost 50 minutes one way and leave very early in the morning. Next year I can probably move to a closer school. At least I only work two days a week, which may go to three in a few weeks. I would never work that far full time.

The boys are doing well!! Brian is so observant and Nathan is as funny as ever. I really need to change my avatar and put up a picture of both boys.
