Being on a diet stinks!!!
But, seeing as I have 45 lbs to lose (to get back to what I was before my first baby) I am going to be on this diet for awhile.
To be healthy, one is only supposed to lose 1 - 2 lbs a week, so I may be on this thing for almost a year!?! Wish me luck (in a manner of speaking, I don't really believe in luck).
Oh...and just to say that I posted some good news on my blog, the guy who ran a red light, while talking on his cell phone, broke Denis' collar bone and totalled our car, finally admitted fault in the accident to our lawyer, so hopefully he will be paying for all the bills we footed ASAP.

10 days and counting
My daughter, Emanuela Arcadia Bueno, is 10 days old today. She is still firmly convinced that the best time to sleep is 1000 to 1600, and the best time for playing is 0300 to 0900. As a result, despite attempts to reprogram her clock, I have not slept much in the past 10 days. When I do manage to catch an hour or so of sleep I have the weirdest dreams, and when I am awake everything is kind of fuzzy and moves slowly.
Denis is being wonderful. Even though Emma's crying at night keeps him up almost as much as it keeps me up he watches her whenever he is home so that I can sleep as often as possible. He is back to school this week, so that is even more of a sacrifice.
I would really love to whine more about how tired I am, but just the act of writing those whinings down made me ashamed, so I erased them. I should be more thankful, especially for such a healthy, beautiful daughter. I guess that Denis is right, having a blog may be good for me. Also, if I am going to whine and complain I will have to use my private diary and not the internet.

Oh no...what have I done?
Well, I have a blog.
Add this to the ever increasing list of things I said I would never do, and have now done. That list has really grown quickly since I have had children. For example, I used to swear that my kids would never watch TV, but who can resist the hypnotic pull of Elmo. That little red puppet could rule the world.
I have read a few blogs and always shuddered at the thought of having anything like that. I mean, how many people really care what I am thinking about on a given day. And with that little counter at the bottom of the page I am forced to know just how few people find my musing interesting.
But...my husband assures me that I will find this whole blog experience worthwhile, so...here it goes.
