Be a duck....

My mom loved ducks... When ducks get water on them... They let it roll off their back.... I am the duck and the stress is my water... Just let it roll off my back!!!!!

A Promise...

Update on the diet...

So I thought I would update on the "diet"...

When I stick to a "plant based" diet, I feel so much better! My "plumbing" is normal (for once)... I have energy...
I have found out I can eat cheese a couple times a week...
Almond milk tastes better than rice milk...
Vanilla flavoring almond milk makes tea/coffee/oatmeal sooooooooo delicious :)
Salads are my friend...
I now have an even more complicated Starbucks drink...
Keeping appropriate snacks in the house is a must...
Vitamins are a must...

But, I am human... and I do crave Genoa salami, Mexican Pizzas from taco Bell, etc...
I think cutting out cow milk was the biggest help!

This is the healthiest fall/winter season I have had in 8 years (I also gave my body a break from the immuno suppressor meds I had been taking)

Picture in my head...

I know I have a memory in my head of my mom and I in the exact same pose...thinking the same thing... Thanks to my Bestie for capturing this moment on film for me so the Princess will have it when she has a daughter one day (after she graduates from college and gets married first of course...)

Time...

Now that I have started my Winter Break... I'll set some time away from trying to "relax" to start updating my blog... Who am I kidding, I can't relax... ever ... but I will try to update.

So far you have missed:

-I had to completely pack up my classroom

-Anthony broke the garage door

-Sleepover with Cody before he goes to Afghanistan

-The new way to eat is working.. most of the time

...more to come :)
