Trying not to eat everything in the house

i thought i was doing pretty well. Ho! Must be 'that time of the month', because nothing is sacred or safe. at least it's not total junk, but it may as well be. i've done a complete diet backslide in the last two months. the weight that *had* come off...is back. damn it. i feel lousy again and i know it's because of the things i've been eating. too much sugar, too many cheap fixes. so stop. resolve to do better tomorrow. it's the only thing i can do. by the way...i Love these dishes. Modern by CB2. they stack together, so minimalist-cool.

if only i could keep my own plate that empty.

Thank God he only said "old".

We were on a little family bike ride/walk this morning. When we turned the corner, we saw a lady sweeping the sidewalk about halfway down the block. D yelled out, "out of the way old lady"! Thank God she had a sense of humor. I tried to do the obligatory "oh, you shouldn't say that, and oh, tut tut...that's not a nice thing to say". But damn it, that was funny.

holy blog-less

Yeah, not a lot of free time in the past few months. The kids are huge, but busier than ever. D is in summer camp. He loves it. So do I...obviously. More and more lately I miss the time I used to have by myself. D would nap 3 hours in the afternoon (I know I'm spoiled); and I could be inside my head for that time. In addition I had the luxury of an afternoon completely to myself once a week when D would visit his Grammie. Well, now that kid 2.0 is here, things are different. M is still nursing (not much tho), and can't stand to be left without me for more than an hour at a time. Ugh. Plus, the afternoon naps are almost at an end....besides do you think they have the courtesy to nap at the same time...not bloody likely. Still, things could be worse. At least my tubes are tied! Ha!
