Queen of Rambles

My mouth is having a problem. Or maybe my brain is having a problem. This house is completely devoid of sugar. There is nary a chalky, dried up chocolate chip to be found. There’s not a single granule of regular sugar. There’s nothing! I have been going nuts all day because I NEED something, but I’ve somehow managed to refrain from rushing to the store and buying ten Dove truffle eggs (Easter candy! My major downfall!). No more sugar for me. Mike says I am less moody when I’m not on sugar and I know it will help kick the weight loss into a slightly higher gear (maybe I’ll lose two whole pounds). When I banish sugar from my life I’m happier, my face is clearer, I sleep better and I feel better about myself. It’s just so damned hard to get through the first five sugar free days. Does this post seem familiar? I’ve written it too many times. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail. Lately I’ve been failing badly. I think I can do it this time. I can usually do it if I let myself plan and dream about my birthday cake. My birthday is in exactly a month so I should be able to have one completely sugar-free month. Maybe.

Thanks for all the advice on the hair. I am my own worst critic, of course. I think you guys are right and I better not get a short little bob. I would like it, but I wouldn’t like maintaining it. My hair is this long now because I’ve only had it cut twice since Erik has been born. I’m not much into the whole “t-shirts and ponytail” scene, but I’m afraid that’s who I’ve become. I blame the gym entirely.

Can you believe the gym had a two-hour delay for childcare today? I got there about twenty minutes after I needed to be there to maintain some sense of schedule for Erik, only to find that the childcare wouldn’t be open for another ten minutes. I totally don’t understand because the roads were fine and none of the kids get to gym childcare via bus. If the normal gym employees have to be there on time why don’t the childcare workers have to be there on time? It makes no sense.

I posted a few pictures of our little snow day over on my FlickR account. I guess I better get to bed now. Erik has been having some major problems the last couple of nights and it has left me exhausted. He just screams and screams like he’s in pain and I don’t know what to do about it. Last night we dosed him up with Motrin and that helped somewhat. He is also more whiny than usual during the day, though he is still a pretty happy boy. I swear I am never going to complain about him being whiny again after dealing with my sister’s two kids. I used to think that nature beat out nurture, but now I’m not so sure.

To leave you on a happier note, here’s a pic of Erik helping Mike bake some bread.
