Random Rant

Ok, I have to rant about this before it eats me alive.
On a chat board, a woman posted a question about who kept the sex of their child a surprise. So a number of us just stated what we did - some said that they had to find out cuz they hate surprises. Others, like me, think it's the only time that we will ever be surprised. And really it is a personal choice. Then this one ding bat (sorry but she is) says that you should find out the sex of your child because you will bond with your child. Or as she put it, the baby will be a child vs just a fetus if you don't know the sex. WTF!! Really?! Really?! I can't believe this person ACTUALLY believes this. So because I never found out the sex of my unborn lil ones, he/she was never a child to me...just a fetus???? How effing ignorant is that.
This BS ranks right up there with my top spot for stupid comments. Here is the top spot. I ordered a chicken brochette once at our favorite restaurant and discovered that the chicken wasn't cooked. So I asked the waitress if she could take it back and have it cooked.  I never return food, not sure why, but I just don't. However, this time I had to because the chicken wasn't cooked! She took it to the kitchen and came back with a word from the chef, "Next time you should ask for your chicken to be well done." Yup, I was told to ask for well done chicken. SMH. As a chef, I know that there is no other way to eat chicken. It is either cooked or not. I was so blindsided by the comment that I couldn't respond. Kinda makes you wonder who is actually cooking the food in restaurants LOL.
Alright, my rant is done. Just had to share!!

TTC or not TTC, that is the question

So we both haven't really made a decision about this month and are kinda flying by the seat of our pants. We'll see what happens. We aren't really trying but are definitely not preventing. So I guess we will just see what comes our way. DH is home for another month yet and then he will be off again on another sail. We are becoming more active which I love. I started watching what I eat a little more and have increased my water (or am trying to). We eat a lot more salad and raw veggies throughout the day. I'm also making lower fat baked goods as well. Since Monday, I've lost a little over 2lbs. I'm so very happy about this. I picked up a 30 day Shred video and have done it once so far. It's a killer. But I like it. I did walk for 30 min today, so it's better than nothing. It's hard to workout with the kids. It seems I can only do it at night which is not good for me. By the time 9pm rolls around, I'm beat. Ready to hit the hay. I will figure something out. I have to.
We are supposed to take the kids "skating" tomorrow. This should be fun. I want to skate too, but I think I should be on boots the first time, just to be sure. I enjoy where we are living now, there's so much more to do. I just want to enroll the kids in everything!! I tried to enroll my DD in a just gotta dance class at the local community centre but it was already filled. So, I will have to keep an eye out for the next one. I would like to do swimming but since I will be alone, I can't go in the water with both kids. I'll have to try to figure something out there. My DD and DS are both very active and need the programs to burn energy. I'm sure as I go along, I will find more for them. Can't wait!
