A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

A little diet goes a long way…

Yeah right.

When I go to bed at night I think about ways to help me lose weight. Most of the time it involves moving more and eating less. Then I wake up in the morning and I’ve literally forgotten that I pledged a diet the night before.

Before 8am I already have a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven cooking away.

Maybe I should think about looking at some of the hcg diet recipes out there. I’ve heard they’re pretty good and they might just be better for me than cinnamon rolls!

WTH is that outside?

I’m looking out my window and all I see is this fluffy white stuff that is falling from the sky. WTH is it, you might ask?

Well, it’s cold…and wet. And right when it hits the warmish pavement it melts.

That’s right…we’re almost into May and we have snow.

We really need to vacation somewhere sunny. This weather is for the eskimos.

I little research goes a long way…

Years ago we researched whether or not to give our children their immunizations. We asked our pediatrician and really felt like we had made the best decision for our family - to immunize. Here in Ithaca I’m guessing that about 30% of the families hold off on shots and probably 10% don’t get them at all.

At one point they were linking one of the shots to autism and we looked specifically at that research.

Now the researchers have discovered something called Autism treatment. They essentially believe in giving doses of amino acids to those who have autism and have seen amazing results.

AminoCure.net offers a very informative website for those that are affected by Autism or those interested in learning more.

SO TIRED.

The past two nights have been so restless. I get to bed at a decent hour and then I toss and turn and Margot starts sounding off. She snores CONSTANTLY and then I yell at her to stop. She stops for ten seconds and then starts over again.

At some point I feel like I should just wake up and find something to work on the house. But at this point I’m in such a deprived state through the date I feel like the early days when Emmy didn’t sleep much.

Maybe I just need a vacation. In a hotel room. By myself.

painting.

I’m friggin’ exhausted. Sunday night and I feel like we’ve been going way too much. Today my friend Jen came over and we painted the girls room a nice springy green. We spent most of the day doing it and it still needs another coat.

Since doing all of this house work my face has become quite oily. In fact, I have some killer zits right now. If this sounds familiar to you … click here.
