day two...i made it!

unprecedented. two blogs in a row.

but more than that, this is day three at the gym! no one can possibly imagine the sense of accomplishment that i have right now. i even got up extra early this morning to send the husband off to work with his daily coffee and fed rocco extra early so i could take him with me and put him in child watch while i was there. i really thought he was going to freak out because he's never been left with anyone except immediate family and even then he sometimes gets upset but there were other kids there and he was off without a second glance at mommy. it made me both proud and terribly sad. i dread the first day of school.

i am on fire! i just need to stay strong so that i can keep up this momentum. working out is getting a lot easier than it was three days ago and i find myself wanting to push myself harder and wanting to go back even though i've already been once in the day. this is ludicrous! who is this pod person that they put in my body and what did they do with teresa??

after my workout this morning, i went and picked rocco up from the daycare and took him to the pool. we sat in the slanted entry and he splashed and played and then i took him into the deeper area and held him while i walked backwards so he could get the feel of gliding through the water and he loved it until he started getting cold. i have the coldest baby ever. he's always shivering. do they make fleece bathing suits? i kid. i kid. i know they only make them in flannel.

right now he is eating a banana next to me while i write this and then it's nap time.

tonight i am going to the bar with my bestie. it will be my first night out in almost a year, which i don't mind because i don't really have the desire to go out anymore, but it will be fun to get a little sloshy and dance and rocco will be in bed before i go out and his grammy will be here.

next week we are supposed to go the beach with the rest of my family but i don't know if jason will be able to get the time off of work and i really don't want to go without him. he has missed a lot of rocco's "firsts" and i don't want him to miss his first time at the beach. also i don't think i would have as much fun without him, i would feel like the lonely odd man out while everyone else is partnered up. we'll see what happens.
