Were we missed?

Once again Im slacking with this blog. But here is a little update on whats going on with the Thayer Family... or as I like to call us "The Three Muskethayers"...
We are teaching Alex the meaning of sorry and when to say it. She picked up on Please and thank you very well so Im sure she will learn this easily. If one of us has to put her in time out, we make her sit for a few minutes. Once time is up, we talk to her telling her why she is in trouble. We then ask her to say sorry to both parents for not behaving. Her lil "Souwy" gets me everytime.
About a week ago we took Alexandra for her first visit to Pizza King. She enjoyed it as well as the train that dropped off our drinks. She of course enjoyed watching tv while we ate. She was very good eating all her dinner and drank her lemonade.
We are trying to think of her next halloween costume. Minnie Mouse has ran across my mind. I will have to talk to Kari-Kari. Maybe we can have Lance as Mickey and Alex as Minnie....
Alex is now letting Amy and Melissa put her hair up in a pony tail. As some know, she doesnt care for me messing with her hair and if I am able to get it up, she pulls it right out. Now that she sees the lil girls at school putting their hair up, she wants hers up as well. I encouraged Amy and Melissa to play with her hair, getting her used to it so I can put it up as well. Today when I picked her up she had pig tails in. Absolutely adorable! Doug and I were very excited.
"Fish!" is what we hear at least once a day. Alexandra loves to watch Finding Nemo on her tv. She will watch it all the way through each time, barely stopping to eat dinner. She is very very interested in fish and aquatic life and has been pointing out lots of sea creatures in books that we read. We are thinking her 2nd birthday party theme will be Finding Nemo. We need to make a decision soon as I want to start buying supplies soon. Im also debating between "Disney Princesses, Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, Minnie Mouse or Strawberry Shortcake. There are so many to choose from. After comparing prices on websites and stores around here I found that Birthdaydirect.com seems to be the cheapest and have more to choose from.
Doug just finished and passed another class in school, some hard math class that drove me crazy just watching him. Now he is on another math course. Statistics. His 10 year class reunion is coming up in October. Im excited for it but he doesnt want to go. Im still trying to change his mind. He leaves for Wichita, KS Sept 10th for a few days. I still am taking off Wednesday thru Friday to spend a few days with Alexandra.
As for myself, im still dealing with back pain. I got a new prescription of flexiril or whatever its called. Its a muscle relaxer that only causes me to be very sleepy but doesnt touch the pain in my back. I have a follow up appointment on Sept 10th. Im waiting to see what the doctor advises. I might go get a second opinion or check out a chiropractor.
I am still very busy at Hartford. Our office is going through a whole new process called EDM (paperless). I go through training all day tomorrow. Sept 16th our office goes "live". This is suppose to be more efficient, organized, and save on paper.
I am also still working on my weight. I dont know how much I have lost this month. I dont keep track until i go to the dr. This is my last month on the Adipex. I plan to start taking an herbal supplement that increases metabolism and gives you more energy. I dont remember what it is called but its at GNC.
