Now That The Craziness Is Over....

I feel like we've been gone forever on vacation and so busy. I'm was so glad to go, but now I'm glad it's over. I'm finally able to get back to some semblance of a normal routine at my house. I've been doing some cleaning, and I think I'm in hormonal/OCD mode. I scrubbed, yes scrubbed on my hands and knees, my floors yesterday. I just wanted it done, so I did it. Sometimes OCD can be a beautiful thing.

Let's see, what has been going on with us...well we went up to East Canyon with my family last week for part of the week. We really had a great time. We went swimming a lot, which Ethan loved. He wasn't as scared of the water this time. He actually was trying to swim. It's funny though, whenever I told him to kick his legs it looked more like he was trying to run in the water. Funny, I don't think anyone on this earth now can walk on water...maybe he's just too young to know that yet.

We also went to Park City and Ethan and I went on the Alpine Coaster. It is so much more fun than the Alpine Slide. You don't have to ride the tram up, which what mom wouldn't be nervous about doing THAT with a three year old, you just ride in the car the whole way up. You're also bolted to the track and bolted in. We went so fast. A couple of times it was too fast for me, but Ethan loved it. He even cried when I made him get out of the car and come back down to where everyone was waiting. I also got to do a bit of shopping at the outlet stores in Park City. I could've spent SO much money there, but I showed some restraint. I really wanted to get some Vans for Ethan at the Vans outlet. They were so cute! But who knows what size shoe he'll be wearing in the next few months, so I didn't get them. It only took him two months to grow out of his sandals. All in all, we had a really great time.

As far as me, things are still about the same. I have my good days and my bad days. I'm still taking the Clomid, and it's still giving me hot flashes like a menopausal woman. I'm willing to tough that out though for the final result. It's just terribly uncomfortable when you're completely fine one minute and the next you're drenched in sweat. I have a new found respect for any woman going through the hot flashes. They're just strange. I've still been going to the gym. I wasn't able to go during vacation and when we were up at East Canyon though so it's been a bit to get back to where I was. I think I'm almost there though. I'm really achy today, partly because of the gym and partly because of the scrubbing the floors with a sponge thing. Oh well, at least it's good exercise.

Until we meet again...
