I am hungry. Oh. so hungry.

This is not the time of the year for me to decide that I need to watch what I eat.

I love peeps. I may have told you before.

I just decided a few days ago to eliminate sugar from my diet.

Oh. my. Ga.

My feelings are as follows -

Day 1- I am empowered. Who needs candy, anyways. Great feelings. I love coming down from this sugar high. Not a day goes by that I have not inhaled some form of chocolate... boy, I feel great letting all of these toxins out of my body. Look at me drink the water. I am really getting with it. I can do this.. AAAUUUGGGG!!

Day 2- I am starting to slow down some. I know I love chocolate. It is my personal crack. And I am A CRACK ADDICT. Do they have treatment for this? Would my health insurance cover it? Oh, I don't have insurance. Surely, somewhere, someone is out there who is sympathetic and they can help me. I am considering attending a meeting. I neeeeedddd mmmmy cccaannndddyyy.

Day 3- I am lying in the corner whimpering. I love the taste. If I just smell it, can I pretend the taste is in my mouth? How can I do this to my body? Isn't it worse to go thru the withdrawal of no sugar than the actual process of eating three pounds a day?

Yet, still, I have not cracked yet. I may end up breaking into Walgreen's at 2 am for some peeps.

Just imagine - my sweet kids are motherless and in DCS custody because I am serving a jail sentence over chocolate theft.

I need to be medicated.

Two Years ago.

This is Emma and Tripp 2 years ago. That would make Tripp 21 months old and Emma 3 1/2 years old. Where has the time went?



I L.O.V.E. looking at old pictures but I hate it at the same time.

Tripp has always liked frogs. See that frog in Emma's hand? His name is Tad. He is the LeapFrog. That frog is still Tripp's baby. He is carried around sometimes, and sometimes he is forgotten - yet, he always seems to resurface. He reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit. I know that some day Tad is going to come to life and hop off and go live by the creek.

I just hope he doesn't get squished crossing the road.

Hump day.

Woo Hoo! It's Wednesday! Half way thru the week!

So close to the weekend - yet so far away. It has been a super busy week. Ladies Day is coming up. I have had *lots* to do. My bulletin looked really good this week - if I do say so myself. It is probably my favorite yet. (For all those who don't know, I am a new church secretary. After an almost 9 year hiatus, I returned to work in January. For what it is worth, don't take your church secretary for granted. There is tons of work involved.)

We have been having a rough time with Tripp's teacher at his school lately. It is hard to drop my baby off with this wicked woman. I want to move him - but, there is only about 6 weeks left. And, I can't afford to move him. So, I will be patient. I know she has a great assistant, one that really acts like the teacher. That makes me feel some better.

I raked leaves this afternoon. I am going to plant some flowers.

How boring am I????
