Other Things O
Dear Ann Landers: My 5 year-old has been asking me 4-5 times a day if I brushed my teeth. I was really getting paranoid and started walking around popping expensive breath mints every five minutes. Finally, I asked him why he was saying that to me all of time and he said, “Oh, mom. I just [...]
I told you that I’d let you know if I swallowed or spat my “Very Veggie Strata” that I cooked up over the weekend. Or, if you make a strata. . . should you say “baked up?” Semantics I guess depending on your sophistication in the kitchen.
Anyway, I’m getting off track (as usual). So, yes—I’d [...]
Dear Ann Landers: My five-year old killed my great grandmother’s Christmas cactus and it’s 63. All these years. . .and, then there was Christian. The little man who thought the leaves needed be shampooed. I hope my mother does not see this. Hmmm.
A good, super skinny friend of mine—who has birthed multiple children, remains a stick and causes me great amounts of friend jealousy that I get over each day because I’m funnier than her—were talking about my New Year’s Nine challenge and exactly how CHALLENGING it has been to eat that many fruits and vegetables on [...]
Dear Ann Landers: My five-year old asked me tonight how I got a baby. I don’t think I handled it well.
Christian: Mom, how do you get a baby?
Me: What do you mean?
Christian: You know, how did you get me inside your tummy when I was a baby?
Me: Well, it’s like a seed. You, know. A [...]
Well, I’ve been holding off making big reports about how the “New Year’s Nine” challenge is going –but it’s been a “clean” two weeks and I definitely think I can report some results. And, I’m also hoping to compare this eating plan to the Taco Bell “Drive Through Diet.” Has anyone seen that campaign.? Weird. [...]
Dear Ann Landers: Tonight I insisted that my 5-year old eat his applesauce for dinner and when he refused, I told him, “Wow, your life really stinks.” He said, “No, my life doesn’t stink. It’s the parents!!” Geez. What do you say to that?
Few foods make me make me think Ewww! (i.e. I’m eating beets for goodness sakes) and I also hate bashing products or businesses. But, what – REALLY – was McDonald thinking when they launched the “MacWrap?”
Now, you might be asking why in the Sam Heck am I bringing this up because I’m suppose to be [...]
My five-year old told me today that, “Just because the dog thinks you are really great, doesn’t mean you should let that go to your head. I have other ideas, ya know.” (This all over not letting eat cookies for dinner) So, I suppose I shouldn’t be so sure of myself is what he’s telling [...]
They (i.e. the New Year resolution Gods) say that it takes 30 days for a behavior to become a habit. So, I’m proud to declare that I’m almost half way to a habit. And, I’m feeling pretty darn excited. It’s been hard, especially since I’ve DRASTICALLY changed the way I eat, drink and some of [...]
