I am in a great mood today!! It might have something to do with the fact that I got those paint spots on the ceiling covered up just in time :) I guess I need to add that um...activity to my exercise tracker but it would so seem like bragging!! Which I'm doing now so why be redundant? (I know I can't spell, btw)
Mr Hottie liked the new paint but asked how I moved the monsterous dresser and hutch to paint. Uh oh...do I confess to being lazy and taking the easy way out or scare him by telling him I moved it??? I confessed, he said that my way made sense...See why I like him, he's smart and he gets me...lol The evil troll would have bitched and moaned and crawled all over until he could find spots that were unpainted, until I felt compelled to move the dresser, without his help, and completely paint the wall behind it which no one would ever see. Of course then he would point out that yes I did move the dresser but it had dust in the smallest corner of it, or that the mirror had a smudge.... I really am loving my life now!!
I think I've hit on a diet plan for the insatiable tweens.
Rule number 244...If it's not meal time find it, kill it, fix it YOURSELF...by YOURSELF
Ds is allowed unending access to junk food and convience food at the Cave...(the world under the bridge where the evil troll and his wife the crypt keeper live.) Amazingly enough the crypt keeper is still waiting on ds hand and foot. Sometimes he forgets himself and expects the same life here in the real world.
It never fails, I fix a meal get the daycare kids and ds fed. Then go to feed myself and I hear ds before I can take the first bite of food. " I'm still hungry." Then I invoke rule number 243...wait 20 minutes and tell me if your still hungry... 20 min later he's still hungry and there is nothing to eat. This is followed by long periods of him pacing the kitchen and airing out the frige and cabinets by sticking his head in and making sure nothing escapes..then long sighs followed by...there is nothing here that is good to eat... Followed by me yelling "Get an apple and shut up and get out of my kitchen." Yeah I have a great future ahead of me teaching....I think I'll do okay as long as my own son isn't in my classroom.

HATE painting!
We set out to renovate the kitchen last fall and got it 80 percent finished before Thankgiving dinner. Then we quit. So, I've been picking it back up again. I've been priming cabinet doors all week. Ick. What's so depressing is that they still have to be painted! I also spraypainted the hardware silver. We got new cabinets in the kitchen proper but couldn't afford to do anything other than paint for the utility room that's attached to the kitchen. I don't know why I'm so unmotivated. I usually hate leaving a job unfinished. Apathy is my new best friend.
I'm sorry there are no good gyms in Hicksville. I was a member of the Q when I lived in East Memphis, but I wasn't crazy about it, except for the awesome water and sauna facilities. However, Olympic Fitness makes the Q look top of the line. I'm just glad I found some place comfy.
Glad you're loving life now. Hope that goes on and on.
You're a girl right after my own heart... someone who is not afraid of color. :) Glad "Mr. Hottie" liked the color. :)
Your son sounds like my kids... I really don't have any idea how I'm going to afford groceries when they get older. They eat so much.
As for my new size 12's... size 12's are not exactly like they used to be. :) I have some old gap jeans from 1980's....they are 11/12 and I can't button them. I have skirts from the mid 90's that are 12's can button them ok....they're tight in the waist, but fit good everywhere else. :) I just am happy because I know where I came from....so it's 100 times better than where I started. :) I feel normal again...not fat.

Cookie Recipe
Hi Leah,
thanks for visiting my blog.
Here's the cookie recipe, don't forget it's just my creation, so i hope yours turn out well, if you try them.
1 small cup of regular oats
1 small cup of brown rice flakes (1% fat)
1 egg
1 tsp honey
3 tbsp white cheese (fromage blanc 0% fat)
2 tbsp milk of magnesia (1% fat)
flavor of your choice....
Grind the oats and the flakes until they get a flour- like texture.
Mix up all ingredients in a bowl using a wooden spoon.
You end up with a sticky kind of dough. Drop dough by heaping 1 tsp onto greased baking tray ( use walnut oil) .....makes abut 12 cookies. Bake at 125-135 degrees for about 10-15 mins. Cool and enjoy. Mine came out very soft.
