All That Grief For Nothing/ !!! I LOVE THE GYM !!!

I put myself through all that grief for nothing. I knew I
was, but there's always something so alluring about drama.
Kiki took to the caregivers almost instantaneously and
quickly forgot that I was even there. She was handed a toy
she'd never seen before and that was it. She was content.
I quickly figured out what was expected of me every
morning and it really shouldn't take me long to adjust to
handing my baby over :( Okay, maybe just a little
adjusting. At least I didn't cry, like I'm so prone to
doing. Positive thinking; did you catch that? Who says I'm
too hard on myself.

Annie was so stoked about getting back to school. She was
up and dressed in record time this morning. A task that
usually requires 1.5 hours to accomplish was done in 30
minutes. I could barely get the car to a complet stop,
before she jumped out and bolted for the daycare's door.
No separation anxiety for her, either. I hope she keeps up
this enthusiasm over the long term, but I'm thinking it
will quickly dissipate once her supply of brand spanking
new clothes is exhausted. If tossing a few new skirts and
ponchos her way every once in awhile creates motivation,
then I'll have to start feeding her habit. Why would I
expect a daughter of mine NOT to love clothes?

Let me just get it out of my system and make it known...I
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE GYM!!! It felt so great getting back
on the elliptical trainer and I even ran on the treadmill
for 30 minutes. I had my water bottle, my MP3 player
bumpin' that new Jamie Fox cut (Unpredictable, I love this
song!) and I was moving!! I burned 500 calories in the
time it usually takes me to burn 200. I'm very pleased.
The Bremerton gym is actually nicer than the one on Bangor
(the other naval gym I use to go to). Bremerton is
brighter, more windows, cleaner facilities and private
showers. I'm very pleased, if you couldn't tell :)
FREEDOM!!

Well, I'm ready to have my lunch now. I'm famished. Ciao!
