Squid’s diaper leaked last night and he was soaking wet and crying this morning. Needless to say, his diaper rash didn’t go away. Tiniest Squid! Arg. Between his butt burn and my sore throat, we’re a perfect mess.

No, really, he is. All cozy in bed, listening to the rain come down, while I’m up with Squid. He deserves it, though. He’s been so nice about taking care of the baby while I’ve been sick, and it’s helped a ton! But now that I’m on the mend, I’ve got to get used to the early mornings again! Ug.

Poor Squid has a diaper rash that hurts just looking at it! I think it’ll be okay by tomorrow. I’ve slathered him in Butt Paste and powder, so we’ll see. It just breaks my heart the way he cries when I change him, even before I touch his little heiny!

I just found Fit Day. Maybe some of you have heard of it. It’s free, I’ll say that first. It’s cool. It’s a way to track your food intake. You can look up foods and find their individual nutritional information, track your meals and set up goals for losing weight. I started on Monday and I’ve lost 6 pounds. No joke. It’s not a diet. It’s just a way to record exactly what you are eating, and I think by doing so, you eat less.

What I do is try to plan and record my meals one day ahead of time. That way, I have more of a chance of sticking to it, rather than just winging it. When I do that, I usually end up eating more than I should.

Anyway, try it. There’s a bunch of other features, but I can’t tell you what they are because I, myself, haven’t even explored that much. I do know that you can also record the exercise you do.

And…bonus…having sex is one of the exercises listed!

Okay, I’m ready for Spring. Winter can be done now. And the coughing and aching, too. Thanks.
