I’m a little tea pot short and stout
Today my gym hosted a Harvest party for the kids today. Thomas was reluctant to go- but once we got there and he started playing games he had a great time. Graham dressed up in his costume minus the bleeding mask. They had a dance contest and the boys won by doing the twist. They served hot dogs (yeah real healthy), pop corn and lemonade. They had a haunted house that scared Graham the first time through - but then the second time through he said he was bored. They had a good time- and I’m glad.
I finally broke down and ordered my butt pillow. A year ago I cracked my tail bone and it took FOREVER to heal. By spring it was doing better then I had that little tumble over Labor Day weekend- that reinjured my tail bone AGAIN. So I’ve been alternating between pain medication and muscle relaxants and stretching my back. My doctor has been nagging me to get this specialized pillow to sit on during the day, in the car, etc… Since I’m a bad patient I never ordered it and just thought it would go away one day…. but it didn’t and I know the only way it will is if I get this pillow blah blah blah… so I ordered it. maybe by my birthday my butt bone will be better.
Mick has been working crazy hours this last week. He gets home and I’m sleeping. I leave in the morning and he’s sleeping. It’s crazy. For the most part I am used to it since it’s the nature of his business. But there are times when it’s really hard to be the single parent. Especially at night when I’m tired and ready for bed and Thomas is arguing with me and Graham is cranky and lunches need to be made and homework still needs to be done and both boys are talking to me at once. I love my boys so much and I love being with them. but sometimes I’m really ready for bed time. 
I’ve lost 33 pounds so far. yeah!!! 4 pounds to go to meet my birthday goal. 15 days to do it. My shirts are getting big now and they just look frumpy on me. Perhaps I will venture out to the garage this weekend and go through my box of ’smaller’ clothes.
ok, i’m going to bed. I’m beat. Spent the day in the studio.

If your butt pillow is shaped like a donut, it will work. I used one in 1985 when I “slid” down some stairs. Used it on a motorcycle trip to South Dakota too!
