fortheloveofhope replied to your post: It’s kind of frustrating when you didn’t run today because the forecast was 60% chance thunderstorms and it’s 3pm and has neither rained nor thundered all day.

I learned as a lifeguard at an outdoor pool that unless it says 90%, I don’t make plans for rain. I almost skipped a half-mar a month ago forecasted 40 degrees and 70% chance rain - it ended up to be 55 and sunny!

Back when I was running on my own, I wouldn’t have skipped until it was actually thundering or lightning. The rain wouldn’t have stopped me then, either.

But since I have to have Ryland with me, I can’t take chances, and I don’t really want him sitting in the stroller getting soaked even if it’s a calm rain.

good point

I think I’ll just stick to tagging them as Ryland (for blog organization purposes), at least if their diaper shots and the like.

It just weirded me out at first.

1. fortheloveofhope said: What kind of blog do they have? A lot of people just like to reblog pics of cute babies. :)

They are all random blogs- cats with bowties, couples kissing, starbucks cups, etc. 

I guess it wouldn’t really be creepy unless they were blogs of only diapered babies.

Do you use your laptop, watch movies, or feed Ryland in bed? Try to only do bed-things (ie: sleep/sex). White noise really helped me too

The first paragraph describes me completely with the addition of waking up not knowing where I am and who is in my bed.

You might try lemonbalm tea. It’s a natural, mild sedative from the mint family. I drink it when I’m, having troubles falling asleep.

hastywife answered your question: Sleep issues

Don’t drink anything but water after 7 and preferably no water after 9, don’t watch movies right before bed and I take melatonin, natural.

marathonmelissa answered your question: Sleep issues

When I worked the early morning shift, 3:30am to noon, I had to go to bed at 6pm, so I took Melatonin. ITs OTC and natural.

beesbodyrockin answered your question: Sleep issues

newborn over here, too! Avoid blue light at night—f.lux for your computer screen, etc. Messes with your melatonin.

fortheloveofhope answered your question: Sleep issues

I use f.lux on my comp and phone to block the blue 2 hrs before bed. It messes with melatonin in the brain. I also take melatonin.

medeagoingdown answered your question: Sleep issues

Try to use the bedroom for bed-things only (sleep/sex), not for caring about Ryland, working or surfing the web. Try to not use computer, tv

My Flat Out wraps always mold super fast, so I keep them in the fridge. Not seen a speck of mold since!

OMG Wraps always mold so quickly!! Especially the sprouted ones like Ezekiel brand :(

I keep my wraps in the refrigerator to keep them from molding. I also keep my bread in the fridge. :-)

I put them in the fridge as soon as I bought them. I’ve actually never had them mold before if I kept them in the fridge, even if it was past the date.

Maybe what to eat to fuel your awesome body for your training?

fortheloveofhope answered your question: Bloggy things

I always like to see what people are eating!

Well, here’s my lunch.

Chick’n Parmesan

Spaghetti squash + spaghetti sauce + fake chick’n nuggets (mine were Morningstar) + feta cheese + parmesan

I ate about half.

ummmm, not for those trying to avoid processed food/excessive sodium, but definitely yummy.

Yikes! You sure it’s not bed bugs? The bites look similar, and bed bugs look a lot like ticks (seems unusual to find that many ticks). If so, be super careful. They are master hiders and travelers and IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of! Personal experience!

fortheloveofhope replied to your post: I don’t think any of my replies to your awesome posts are going through. :(

Wow…..those look and sound exactly like bed bugs. Bed bugs concentrate where there is heat.

After your first reply, I looked it up, and while the bites on my arm look a little similar to the pictures I saw, the other bumps don’t at all, especially not Jeremy’s. It also said that bed bug bites are in clusters of 3, and I checked for that, both on my arms & the back of my knees, and it doesn’t follow the pattern.

The good news is that the ones on my arms don’t itch at all, and they’re starting to fade.
