I feel like I should introduce you all ~ but some of you already know each other anyway.
So...I took an entire week away from blogging and can't think of a damn thing to write about! Can you believe it? Oh wait...oh yeah NOW I remember what I wanted to write about while I was patiently waiting to make the switch to "private" blog.
I got a call from my doctor's office the other day about my blood work. Turns out my triglycerides are super high (443) and I have to go on a diet. Plus, apparently birth control pills can cause your triglycerides to be elevated. So ~ I'm in the market for a new way not to get pregnant again...We need to address that pronto. I don't want to have 3 kids under 3...that would definitely not help me with the next thing I have to do. I have to REALLY quit smoking...which I am happy to report I've been successful at for about 62 hours now. I tried when I told you all I was going to quit before, but that didn't work...I'm a little more determined now, but the diet and lack of smoking has made me really crabby...super crabby...extremely crabby. (Get the picture? I'm crabby.) I have a gigantic bag of Halloween candy that I bought with all intentions of eating myself sitting in the other room and I only had a Kit Kat (snack size) in the past week. That little Kit Kat by itself made me feel guilty. I hate dieting.
Really and truly, though, this isn't going to be a diet...it's got to be a lifestyle change. Once I get my triglycerides back on track I have to keep them that way ~ that'll mean I can give a little here and there, but I'm going to have to be healthier all the time. The doctor also put me on Lovaza ~ it's like top of the line Omega 3. He ordered blood work again in 2 months. Argh ~ the holidays are gonna stink.
Okay, so here's some pictures of my kiddos:

Danika, Nate and Ethan - just a typical day
Just in case you have a blogreader (like bloglines or google reader) I want to let you know that my feed won't show up when I post. So, you're gonna have to come and seek me out! :)
I am going to give the private thing a try and if it doesn't work - I'm mainly worried that I won't feel like writing because I'll feel like no one is reading - pretty vain of me, I know - but if it doesn't work then I'll probably go back to being a public blog with comment moderation. But I wanted to try this first to see how it feels. I do have to warn you all, though...knowing that I know who is and is NOT (more importantly) reading my blog may cause me to say things I normally wouldn't. Be prepared. :) Oh, and thanks . . . I'm really glad you are here.

I'll read every day. hahaha. Too bad I don't keep up with mine much.
And thanks for including me!! I am proud of you for quitting smoking and monitoring your eating habits. I know you will be a happier and healthier person for it!
And I don't think that any of my family is going to read your private blog, so I'll tell you that we are pregnant! I am actually 7 weeks tomorrow. We planned it, and before this, I was on the NuvaRing. I don't think it did anything to my cholesterol, since it's inserted "down there." Ask your doctor about it. I was on it for 3 years and loved it... never got pregnant on it either. I was off it 2 months before we did conceive, so if you ever change your mind, you can easily conceive.
congrats on not smoking!! you can do it.btw to the girl above me congrats annie.
