how many points does that equal?

let me start out with a warning this post is gonna be gross if you are delicate of nature go on ahead and click that next blog button.....no really go ahead

Alrighty then I have been doing the weight watchers thing for a few months now and the basis for the uninitiated is to give a point value to foods & exercise and you track all that to help in weight loss. So last nights migraine followed by severe barfing how does one track that? It was physical of sorts at least certain muscles this morning seem to think so and cleaning out the contents of my stomach should have a negative point tracking of sorts should it not?

random factoid of the day

graham crackers taste better just a little stale...in my opinion. Finding the pack in the trash must mean my husband does not agree

have I been replaced with a pod person?

-setting my alarm to get up early and go to the Y? on my day off no less?!
-making my mind up that I am going to skip water aerobics after a late night at work and getting up to go anyway
-leisurely Sunday morning...BEFORE coffee I went for a brisk walk around the park
clearly I am not myself and for once it is a good thing

I really need to hire better help

I had just started prepping dinner and my phone rings, C runs to get it for me as I have ground beef hands which is great he answers the phone then hands it to me and my ground beef hands I ask him 3 times before he finally manage to let me know it's David. OK I wash my hands in the minute they converse and as I reach for the hand towel and go to grab the phone C hangs up and passes along the message from David.......
ugh these two boys do their best to drive me crazy

golden parenting moment #746

kiddo: I feel terrible
me: go feel terrible someplace else while I get dinner on the stove

pizza & Italian pastries are better up north

which may very well be why we won the war.....

not exactly living off the land

but my container gardens are starting to yield! These 2 beauties are going to make a lovely cucumber salad 

those little kids have a lot of energy

on the camp field trip yesterday some of the older children were enlisted to assist in keeping up with the younger kids, C was with 6 years olds and was wiped out last night to the extent he chose to go to bed early because "those little kids have a lot of energy"

from a big fish in a little pond

to a much larger pond.....kiddo attending the day camp at the Y was bumpy the first few days he decided he hated it early on & what did we do to him?! Since he was a toddler he had been in much smaller settings as far as daycare/camp were concerned. The first week was apparently torture, or so we were lead to believe- he was given the option to stay at home with David that Friday which got an enthusiastic yes & a happy dance I seem to recall. Imagine my surprise walking out of the bathroom that Friday morning to find C with towel in hand, ready to shower oh and his lunch was ready to roll could I pleeease drive him to the Y he did not want to miss anything fun
