Soda
I’ve made it 5 days without a soda. I am embarrassed how much it was part of my life. I truly enjoyed Coke Zero. It was my little moment. I don’t drink alcohol so this was my vice. Since I enjoyed it so much I thought that giving it up for lent may be truly a sacrifice for me.
I didn’t realize how addicted I was to it. The physical symptoms like headaches and crankiness are...

Frozen
So I had a frozen Margarita with dinner. My extremities definitely went numb and I was super sweaty but I didn’t feel as bad. It wasn’t top shelf so maybe that had something to do with it? I got really sick to my stomach so I guess I should just realize that alcohol and I are a bad combination. If only tequila didn’t taste so good!
Keeping up with Tyler
Tyler has been working long hours and late nights to complete his project for his Monday deadline. I found that I have this inner urge to keep busy or to try to be just as productive.
Yesterday I made decorations or Nolan’s party. Tonight I ran and packed Nolan for our trip home. What will I do tomorrow because I usually stay up way too late because I put off packing!
Tonight I ran in...
Valentine's Day
Last year we had a picnic in the park. This year, I went out for pizza with my boys. Nolan ate the crust and was quite chatty.
It’s neat how in the little ordinary moments, I am still in awe that we are a family.
My only complaint is that servers would not set down food in front of an infant. I must look like the bitchy plate police. Please set it in front of me or WAY on the other...
Bed rest
Some days my body longs for bed rest or well at least an excuse to sleep all day. However I have stipulations. I only want two days or bed rest not 10 weeks and I want no other complications to come with it.
Dear God
I am out of shape. I ran for only a half hour and almost died. Please help me get my rear in gear. I’d like to run without fear that I may fall off the treadmill.
Can't Drink
I’ve never been much of a drinker unless it’s top shelf vodka or tequila. Lately I’ve been having crazy reactions when I do have just half a drink. My palms sweat, suddenly I am wearing too many clothes, and my extremities swell. Also I am dizzy and have trouble making a complete thought. Why? Why does half a glass make me feel drunker than my 21st birthday?
It’s my...
