ADHD?... Probably just ADD :)

I'm halfway through my first week back on Weight Watchers!  It has been a long two years of not paying attention and it has gotten me in big (ahem) trouble!  

So far things are going well and I'm excited to see where I'll be in about three months.  But I'm not wishing this time away!!!  Nope... every moment with my little one is too precious.

Speaking of the little one... she is hilarious these days!  She is a little sponge and remembers everything!  Her new favorite activity is to run around the house and point/pickup/carry around random items and say who they belong to.  "Mama's", "Dada's", "Bri Bri's"... all day long!

I have scheduled her appointment with the ENT at Children's Hospital to talk about her ears.   It has been nine months since she got her tubes.  It is crazy to think she has now had the tubes as long as she went without them!  It was the best decision we could have made.  We have not had one ear issue since November!  I'm anxious to see what the surgeon recommends.  The tubes may not be there any longer.  Best case scenario would be that she has outgrown the ear infections and no longer needs the tubes.  Brianna will also have a hearing test to make sure everything is okay from all of the ear infections she had prior to the tubes.  She was too young to get an accurate reading at our last visit.

Another appointment I've scheduled is her 18 month well visit.  Yes... a year and a half.  UGH... There is so much truth to the idea behind "the days are long but the years are short".   I remain so focused on each day or week that by the time I look up we are already at another milestone.

Every night Michael and I go to bed we thank God for our precious gift.  We talk about how thankful we are that she is in our lives.  That she is the best thing to ever happen.  Lately I've been praying that she holds on to her innocence for as long as possible.  I love my sweet angel.

Now on a more random note... As I was sitting in a two hour work meeting yesterday afternoon I had the strangest thought.  How in the world did I ever make it through three hour lectures in undergrad?  I have to fight the urge to pull out my iPhone.  In school it was because I didn't want to get caught... as an adult, it is because I don't want to be disrespectful.  I used to be able to sit there and do one thing, listen to the instructor and take notes.  In my new state of constant multi-tasking it seems nearly impossible to do just one thing.  As the meeting went on I found myself making mental checklists of everything that I could be getting done while listening and participating in the meeting.   Any suggestions on how to just chill?  I would love to hear them :)
