Case of the Mondays

Peanut and I seem to share a case of the Mondays. We are both so tired. But, as she is napping, I'm wasting my time on the internet. She already outsmarts me. I'm feeling a headache coming on - too much weekend. I didn't sleep well at all. But the Peanut was fabulous. She really is quite the little trooper. I'm quite proud of her. Lots of people, new environment - and she hardly caused a fuss. I can't stand being away from her, though. Okay, an hour or so is fine... but four or five is just too much. We went shopping and left her with Grams. I think that was too long for everyone involved. I just adore doing stuff as a little family unit. We headed to the beach at 6:45am and had a wonderful time (although Peanut didn't seem to love having her toes dipped into the cold ocean). It was so relaxing to just sit on a blanket in the sand. Not so many people around. Not too much sun. Lovely weather. Really soul satisfying.

Other developments from the weekend - I have become a non-stop eating machine. I must calm down. It's getting ridiculous, really. I mean, I know that I can take a few liberties with my diet, seeing as how I'm burning 500 calories a day breastfeeding (and I do tend to get starving-hungry). But, sheesh, doughnuts, hamburgers and ice cream in one day. This is too indulgent. It's like, I was so restricted for a long time and I've gone off the deep end.
