No Sugar? What am I Thinking?

So first I had to give up Diet Soda? Which was and continues to be one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I'm including giving birth because at least then I had an epidural. Unfortunately there is no epidural for Diet Soda withdrawal.

Today I start giving up sugar. I'm aware that Friday is Halloween and my children will be bringing all kinds of goodies into the house. But it has to be done. Because as much as I was dependent on Diet Soda I am double that with sugar. If I am going to give it up I might as well start on the hardest day of the year. That way the rest of the year will seem easy.

Right? Right? Hello, right?

Oh well, I just wanted to warn you that the next couple of weeks I may seem a little, umm, angry? Turns out that is pretty much how I handle change. I get really angry until I talk myself down from the ledge. But I know you are all there for me and promise to be nice and not send me chocolate to make me be nicer.

Well unless you really want to send me to chocolate. Then you know I would have to eat it because I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings.

Oh alright enough of that. Don't send me chocolate.

Well unless you really want to.

Hummm, are you getting the next couple of weeks are going to be a ton of fun.:)

Have a happy sugar free day.:(

Ask theSwimMom post later today. Before the hate sets in. :)

Best of luck to you! ARE YOU CRAZY!!! :) How no sugar are you going? Just not sweet foods or no sugar in anything? You'll do great I'm sure.

I hear omitting sugar from one's diet makes the person feel worlds better. So, good for you!

That said, I think I am going to go roll in the sugary goodness. I'll think warm, fuzzy, sweet thoughts of you whilst I cover myself in the confectionary crack.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter. I can hardly believe that it says 30 days. I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter. Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked. That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock. I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me. By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know." I wanted them to see that I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby. H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
