The past 10 days have felt strange. Hazy and muddled and overwhelming. I'm not sure why ... maybe the winter, stuck-inside blues. Maybe my sinus cold that started last weekend. Maybe the change in Sam's work schedule which leaves me alone with the boys for even longer days. Maybe it was the 5 Day Cleanse I started last Monday (which happened to coincide with my vicious sinus cold, great timing there) that left me with intense caffeine withdrawal headaches and the horrible, panicky feeling that I was starving, when I certainly was not. Going to bed last night at 8 pm sure helped. And the feeling of triumph when I came to Friday evening and knew I didn't cheat at all on the eating regimen for the cleanse. (Amazing in itself!) Happy those 5 lbs are gone. Liking the discovery of a new afternoon snack: bananas and berries in a bit of soy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon and walnuts. A serious yum. And after cutting out a few dozen or a few hundred circles last week, it was exciting to quickly zip them together in the sewing machine today for a little bit of Valentine festivity for our dessert party next weekend. Yes, loving those paper garlands ... aren't they pretty?
But most of all, I'm loving watching my wee Walter boy toddle around more and more often as now he is walking!! He started by walking across Henry's room a few weeks ago but then pretty much left any more effort there. But the past 4 days or so we've been catching him walking here and there, more and more often. He is so cute. And we are so proud of him.
Hoping for a good party-planning-week ahead. Even though it is Monday tomorrow, Sam will be gone til late, and both the boys are sick. But, thank goodness, at least I'm back to drinking coffee!

That's super Cassie - and 5 lbs too. I understand a cleanse is very good for us - but comes with dedication - so well done.
