Thinning

It's been a great few days.

I'm so happy the audit is done and I can refocus my attention on what matters to me: My family. I am able to spend time with each child individually; Ian when I pick him up (because Roo naps then) and then Roo when Ian goes on the computer after dinner. I make sure he and I do something "fun and educational", like yesterday's project which consisted of getting a calender and marking all the important days. We marked each holiday and discussed them, and then for family birthdays we put a picture of each person on the calander. He loved it!

My diet is going well. I've gotten compliements from my MIL, from people I work with and, it might be unrelated to my weightloss, but I was feeling pretty good yesterday because someone hit on me while I was dropping Ian off. I didn't get what was happening (I guess I'm out of practice?) until he, after about 5 minutes of talking about his daughter and his divorce, he said, "Oh, I just saw your wedding ring. I guess I won't hit on you anymore." I was a bit uncomfortable, but then I decided to take it as a compliment and not try to justify it/mininmize it as I usually would by thinking things like, "Oh, he's just lonely," or, "He wasn't really hiting on you. Why would he?" I enjoyed it for what it was.
