The pants arrived!

After getting up on and off throughout the night, I wasn’t exactly super motivated to work out, but I sucked it up and went on a reallllllly slow run.  My gut was feeling better after the previous day’s eats (it was doing all kinds of weird stuff – worse than it has been in a long time – when I went to bed the previous night, but I woke up feeling alright again). I fed the kids right away and then went to shower before making my own “pancakes”.  I was working with what I… Read more >

Sickness season

I’ve been holding my breath all week as my friends’ kids get sick, one after the other, but there’s only so much you can do to avoid it.  And OF COURSE it hits P right before OIT.  That’s the only reason I care.  He can’t updose if his immune system is under stress so when he began coughing Thursday evening and then was up coughing on and off until waking up for good between 4 and 5 am on Friday I was really nervous that we wouldn’t get very far at our appointment.  It’s hard… Read more >

After I… Read more >

Tuesday food

I forgot to tell you guys!  I finally found the mocha califia!!  Praise be. 😉  My morning coffee has been 25% better as a result.  And morning coffee is daaaaamn important, amiright?? I was in a rush this morning and didn’t have time to thaw the last slice of nourish bread so I had zucchini banana bread instead (with cashew butter).  I had a dentist appointment so I needed to finish my coffee and food with enough time to brush my teeth again but without it being right after I eat.  You know what I’m… Read more >

Third time’s the charm

We went to the pumpkin patch for the third time this season.  Oof. Truth be told, I was reallllly looking for any reason to get out of going.  Is it weird to hope your kid gets sick as an excuse?  It seems to happen all winter long when I don’t want to have to skip things, so it would be great if every once in a while it got me out of crap I don’t want to do.  Anyway, I never let on my true feelings to V, and she was very excited, so I… Read more >
