Seven Quick Takes

1.  November is here already.  The time is passing so quickly it seems.  I need to get it together this year before Advent starts.  It has been hit or miss the last few years.  Now that Thomas is five and going to CCD, I feel like I need to pay more attention to the details.

2.  Our first ever door to door trick or treating happened last night.  We've had sick kids the last two Halloweens.  We had to drive to another neighborhood because ours is almost exclusively snowbirds.

3.  So, Halloween candy is not the best thing to have around when you are trying to lose weight.

4.  Speaking of losing weight and fitness, I did a Leslie Sansone walking video at home yesterday.  This seems much more realistic because I'm out of shape and going to the gym while juggling schedules just isn't working.

5.  I'm having a weird cycle.  I'm not sure I ovulated this month.  If I didn't, I'll probably get my period on day 42.  That has happened in the past.

6.  Try for 3rd baby or not.  The pressure is on to lose weight and get into better shape so I don't have as much anxiety over pregnancy at 39.  There are some risk factors I can control, so I need to get on it or I'll just say no.  I think we both want another child, but the pregnancy and c-section makes me really nervous.  Ugh.

7.  I was just offered a teaching position for next semester to teach Family Law to paralegal students.  I did this last year and with some tweaking it might just be a better experience.  I do like working.
