I was very stressed and overwhelmed this last week with our first baby's arrival right around the corner. My Saturday morning "sleeping in" lasted until 12:30pm!

I let my walks slide out of my schedule, and it is amazing how quickly I feel sluggish and shlumpy (ha, is that a word?) I become less patient and less interactive w/ the kids...<br />Of course, besides my walk, my best motto is that I am not my children's garbage disposal. I have to be aware of not eating their last left over bites, or not eat that lunch they asked for then decided they didn't want (does that happen to anyone else?). Great post...
