Sorry for that. Entirely unintentional and unforeseeable.
I had an extra baby here for a few days. Uno has been on deployment in Germany for a few months now. He called me a week and a half ago to ask whether or not I might be able to watch his fifteen-month-old son, so that his fiancee could go visit him. They had a babysitter lined up for the trip, but they cancelled last minute.
Well, I said yes, obviously. Uno's son, let's call him Bambino, came on Wednesday night and...well, I pretty much haven't slept since. At most, I've had about three hours a night. Sometimes less. Even the last two nights, after Bambino had gone home. Unfortunately, Terza's got a cold and Quarto's nighttime schedule is all messed up. Which all boils down to an exhausted Mama.
However, all whining aside, I'm glad I could help out. Bambino is seriously cute. Prima and Secondo got some nice time with their brother. And, thank goodness, we all survived!
Luckily, although I wasn't really able to exercise while he was here (minus a no-doubt-hilarious-looking trip outside with the three of them, Bambino and Terza in the double stroller and Quarto strapped to the front of me in a Baby Bjorn), I did take it easy on the eating, and I logged every flippin' calorie I ate. (The non-flipping ones, too).
It was no coincidence that the only day my calories went into the dreaded "eating to gain" area was yesterday, when I made THIS:
So, that's where the heck I've been. Expect me back, daily (with a vengeance), with those mini-posts.
"All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let's make it a great week, lovelies.
all love,

It must have been fun to have a little one around! The pie looks divine! I would not be able to control my eating with that either!!!
