Mom, Whats for Dinner?

"Mom, what's for dinner?  Mom, Mom, Mom.  What's for dinner?  When is dinner?  I'm Hungry Mom, what's for dinner? "

 Sound familiar?

"Well," says I, "We could have spaghetti, or spaghetti.... or I think we have stuff for spaghetti... Or would you rather have spaghetti?"

Um... I'm starting to realize where this problem may be stemming from....

"Nooooooooo!!!! Not spaghetti agaaaaaaaaaiiiin,"  whine they.

"Well, I could give you a really good deal on spaghetti, but if you don't want that, there's always....spaghetti.

After more back and forth... really getting into my inner child... I say, "What if we have spaghetti (grooooaaan) but we just dump it on the table and don't use plates or silverware?"

"YES!"  Haha!  I've won!  Off to the store for a  drop cloth.  
"What do you want with spaghetti?"
"Cottage cheese!"
"You realize you will have to eat that with your hands, right?"
"YES!!!"  Hee hee hee....

"Ok, should we have dessert?"  
"Pie!"
"Ok, but you don't even get to use your hands for that.  Just your face..."
"YES!"



And so... Table is set....




The players are in their places...



Ready go!  After a meaningful and heartfelt prayer of course...







This. Is Awesome.



Do you notice the creepy Marilyn Monroe face in the cottage cheese there on the table?  Ya, freaked me out too....


Lets see everyone's hands!


Time for pie!!





Of course I had pie too... have to follow the rules....



Next time they ask, you know the answer.... Spaghetti... and pie.




No Sugar- Day One

No Sugar  
Apocalypse- Day One

I. Might. Die.  But probably not.  This may be the hardest thing I've ever done.  I resisted the leftover bags of Easter candy all day.  I saw. I stopped.  I resisted.  I walked away.  I conquered.  I can do hard things!

Remember when I decided to not eat after 8 pm?  I thought I might die then, but I survived.  I'm a survivor.  I would wander into the kitchen. look around, walk back out.  I realized I had to find something to fill the void called eating after eight.  Water.  Every time I walked into the kitchen I would drink a glass of water.  Will this work with sugar?  I will be the most hydrated I've ever been.

I can do this.  There has to have been a day in my past where I just didn't eat sugar without  thinking about it right?  Has there? Thinking.....  I don't really know.  Maybe not.

But I can see it in the future.  The day I don't eat sugar without thinking about it....

No Sugar- Day one=  SUCCESS!!!!
