I’m so proud of how I’ve solved two problems with one solution this week. The two problems being:
1. The kids are out of “school” but I am still not out of work. How to keep them occupied while I try to do important things?

My four-year-old asked me yesterday if we had any “Bitch-Be-Gone.” I assured her that we did not have any such thing in our house but if they had it at Wal-Mart I’d start carrying some with me ASAP. Such a thing could be handy, no?

I tried the Weight Watchers brand cheese slices this week- One Point each- and was pleasantly surprised. Cheese is one of those things that needs fat to make it good, so I usually just try to use less cheese than I normally would rather than going the low-fat cheese route.

Tonight I joined my friend Sarah at Jazzercise. And when I say joined, I mean that I followed her instructions and she proceeded to kick my tail. Ouch. I tried to stand up a few minutes ago and I decided to just stay seated. Ouch. Ouch.
I went to jazzercise for awhile when I first started […]
