To Spaz Or Not To Spaz..

Is it some sort of "rite of passage" for every little girl to wrap her hair around a comb? It's down to the last 20 minutes before we leave to take Spaceman to school and Hunny runs up to me with a comb wound in so tightly to her hair that I contemplate cutting it out. Someone once said (on Oprah, I don't remember who), "you can tell a lot about a person's character by the way the untangle their Christmas lights" (in my case, Hunny's hair). The fly on the wall would tell you, that at first I had a conniption fit, but then I remembered to breath, and calmed down enough to untangle the mess with only a few strands sacrificed to the mission. I don't know what that says about my character, but I suppose the fact my daughter is not walking around with spikes for bangs speaks volumes.

Last night for dinner I made chicken breasts, acorn squash, and a spinach salad. MJB usually never finishes his chicken, it's always too dry. So in an effort to prove I can cook a decent meal, I made a creamy mustard dip (remind me to tell you all about my mustard phobia, for those of you who don't know all about it), and by golly he finished every last bite! It's funny that I am finding tricks to get my husband to eat his whole meal, isn't that typically something reserved for your children? Well if you've seen my husband, you know he needs every last calorie I can get into him. What I wouldn't do for his metabloisim!

This week I am making some small goals for myself, baby steps if you will. 3 things, I can not go to be with dishes in the sink. I must drink 2L of water a day, and no eating after 7pm. Next week I'll add 3 more.
I am realizing that quite a few people have been reading, and much to my surprise, enjoying my blog. So to those of you who are, thanks. I quite like putting my thoughts into words, and while some of my plans sound better in writting than they do when it comes to me executing them, I am trying to hold myself accountable, and I will have some progress to report sooner than later.
