We’ve had several cook outs over the fire that we have in our back yard; but it’s hard to cook anything more than hot dogs and marshmallows over a fire pit. So we’ve been trying to find better ways to cook the other things we like to roast over the fire, such as kebabs and [...]

I had written this up on livejournal last night and thought it would serve as a good illustration of how things tend to work in our head; especially now that we’re able to operate more co-consciously once more. Me: Gods, I’m tired… Max: I’ll do it! Me: uh…okay…*gets shoved back* Max: Do do doooo…. *insert [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dieting aspect of my life and the reasons why it’s so hard for me. I know some of it is due to the sedentary lifestyle I lead which is partially choice and partially the fibro. I need to take the choice part out of the equation and [...]

So, as of today I’ve been on the new living plan a week. I was feeling a bit bummed about things because I wasn’t able to do the first “Couch to 5K” work out. It overextended me because well, I’m hideously out of shape, even more so than I thought and so after last Wednesday [...]

It may not be thermogenic fat burners, nor your typical breakfast food but I like it anyway. Munchkin asked for “mac & chez” for breakfast and I figured that was simple enough for my caffeine withdrawal-suffering brain, so easy mac it is. I did however find it silly that the box told me I had [...]

I realized today that I’ve been slacking on my blogs. Things have been overwhelming me, again.

Tomorrow is technically my birthday, well, actually at this point, today, we’re passed midnight. So, today is technically my birthday and I feel strange, ambivalent even for a variety of reasons. I’ve only been here a month tops, and so to be celebrating a birthday so soon feels strange. I just got here, surely there [...]

“Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! I hungry, Mummy! I hungry cheese. I have cheese in my hand, please?” I looked at the clock and realized that I’d been meaning to make lunch for about twenty minutes but hadn’t actually done it yet because blog installs never go as quickly as you expect, “Okay, honey,” I told him, [...]

I noticed a horrid trend going on with me the other day. Hubbie came home for lunch and asked how the day was going and it wasn’t until I had finished my laundry list of bad and he said, “Did ANYTHING good happen today?” that I first started to realize the truly negative place that [...]

This week has been incredibly hectic. I didn’t realize that I was running so hectic until last night; but this week has been a flurry of doctor’s appointments, job applications, one interview, taking family to procedures, grocery shopping and psychiatric visits and more shopping. We have been splitting our grocery visits between Walmart and Publix [...]
