Tomorrow is the girls' surgery day. It's another go at ear tubes and first (and only possible) go at adenoids. Sooo not looking forward to that.
Today was day 4 of the program which included back and biceps + 40 minutes of intervals. I did 20 minutes before lifting and 20 after- the 20 minutes after was really hard because my biceps were so heavy and sore (already). I did 4 exercises for my biceps and 3 for my back- it was killer.
I went to the Goodwill "bins" store on my way home from work yesterday and found some really, really good deals. I got 4 pair of pants, 2 shorts, 3 shirts, 2 shirts for Jessica and 2 pair of pants for Devanne- for $16.23. It isn't glamorous, but the brands were name brand (American Eagle, Polo) and you just can't beat the prices if you're willing to have patience and find the right stuff. I did notice the jean sizes at the Goodwill- I found s bizzilion size 40, 42...I kept thinking about how when I was that size I could never find jeans at that place. But, I also don't have to worry about that too much now because I can always find size 34 pants. Jessica went today and found herself 9 shirts, 2 pants, 1 pair of boots, and some items for the girls. She also found me a nice pair of 'dress' shorts in size 32- they are tight, but they fit. They actually fit!
I am getting very excited about Sunday- I get to go fishing! I was already down in Corvallis so I stopped by my dad's to pick up the canoe. It took some maneuvering but we got it on. I am so excited to try it out this weekend. My buddy Jake and Jessica's brother, Sean, are coming also. I am trying to figure out what I should back for my lunch. Maybe peanut butter and banana on whole wheat with some cut up pineapple and other little snacks. I hope I catch some trout! It would be fantastic to be able to provide a meal caught by me- only time will tell.
Other things have been brewing. I am trying to win a bid on ebay to get the ACE Fitness personal training manual and study guide. If I can get it for what I bid it would be about $40 cheaper. I have decided to go with ACE and also do ACT, since it is free, but I also want a certification that is recognized because it will give me the best shot at being hired. A lot of ads show they want you to have 2 or more certifications. We also have been monitoring Jessica's ovulation this month. She should have ovulated (if her timing was 'textbook') on Wednesday. It's Thursday and we still haven't seen the positive sign. I asked if she thought we should use clomid next month. Jessica said she wants to give it one more try without. It next month there is no ovulation then we will consult with the doctor and probably try out a low dose of clomid to see if she will ovulate. Last time we tried a low dose it still didn't work and she had to take the highest amount they would prescribe = 150 mg. We did get a positive ovulation read on that but sadly didn't get pregnant. Fingers crossed we don't have to use clomid- but if we do- fingers crossed for just one! We could probably do twins again but Lord help us if we have more than two.
