Killin' It

Day 14 of 15 and I'm STILL at it!  Pat, pat...  on my back.

I *think* I'm seeing some good things happen, too.  My jeans are feeling a bit looser in the butt and I can tell I'm losing around my ribcage.  That said, would love to actually see some progress in my midsection and less in my butt.  I really don't have much of a butt to lose so yeah, I'd like to see the weight fall from the other areas that need some assistance.  Specifically, the areas that give me great anxiety and lead to crap self esteem.

Moving on...

We're officially done with M's visits to the 3 private schools we've applied to and we've now heard back from two with a promise of paperwork from the 3rd.  The one we love love love has accepted M BUT it's also the one that doesn't necessarily work with our hours.  It's close to home and on the subway line but means we'd have to seek out before school care.  The other one we love love (note the missing love?) has wait listed M because they're already at 50% boys.  They have offers out to a bunch of girls right now and we should know shortly after March 1st if they've got a spot for M (and the Admissions Officer did say they're cautiously optimistic and that M is at the top of their list...  yeah, yeah...  I'm sure she says that to all the parents).  This place works for us for so many reasons -- hours, on the subway line just in case one of us is stranded elsewhere with the car, etc.  It also goes all the way to grade 12 should we decide to go that far.  And the last one?  It's in last place for a few reasons but we still liked it.  I'm pretty confident the offer is on the table but I'm also pretty confident it isn't for us.

I'm looking forward to an evening out with girlfriends tonight.  Dinner, drinks...  just being out with some of my BFFs.  It's been a long time since we've gotten together and I can't wait.  I'm hydrating already!

Other than that, life revolves around work these days.  Family, work, schools and working out.  My brain is pretty full right now but for the first time in a very long time, I feel settled and content.  Things are in a good place.
