So, I thought I'd give this blog thing a try...Not sure who will read, but what they heck.
Today I realized, OK not just TODAY, but it really hit me today, that I'm addicted to sugar. I always feel like I'm eating candy, chocolate, ice cream, etc...and I mean EVERY day I'm eating that crap. It's not like my teeth can handle it either, I've had lots of cavities over the years, and the sweet tooth is not helping my case. Anyways, as I write this blog I'm eating a bunch of Easter jelly beans, and I thought...you know every damn holiday has candy associated with it. The companies make special candy for EVERY holiday. Seriously, think about it....Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, St. Pattys, Valentines day....it's all the same candy just different colors or shapes. I still find the need to buy that special candy, though. Somehow, it tastes better than the regular old standby.
Then after thinking about all the sugar I eat, maybe if I cut it out completely out of my diet, would I start to feel different? Would my body go through withdrawal? It is an experiment I would be willing to try, but it will be hard for me to put he habit down...
Now that I've gotten that off my chest...
I figure, I'll have to write about mommy stuff on here. that is pretty much my life now:) Finn will be 6 months at the end of April, and all I can think of is, where the hell did all that time go? And how could it go by so fast when I KNOW I have not been missing it by sleeping all the time as I normally would (could!). I realized after the first 5 months- I am not a newborn mommy, I look forward to these next few months because he will be able to be more interactive with me....he already can roll over both ways, smile, giggle, grasp things, and he is on his way to sitting, and scooting...It's amazing how most of those things seemed to happen in just the past month! they are way more exciting for me than the months before. I am still grateful for all of the time; it has been amazing just to see him grow and change, even when it seemed like it would never come. It is great to be a mom.
You have a blog!!! I will read it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how fast time is going? I can't wait for Ethan to sit on his own. We tried the Bumbo. His legs were too chunky. It was sad and hilarious at the same time. The Babies R Us people laughed at the reason why we returned it. And we just bought a bigger carseat. I had hoped we would have gotten at least 6 months out of it. Boy were we wrong. hehe
HAHA! I am dealing with the sugar thing too!!! crazy! I am trying really hard this month to stop eating all the desserts and candy and crap!
ReplyDeleteAnd, crazy too how fast they do grow up! I think Finn is about 1 1/2 months older than Micah so I enjoy seeing the changes in yours and looking forward to them in mine...hopefully they'll meet soon!
And I will read:) I am a new fan of blogging, helps me get my thoughts out when I sit around all day with a baby who just stares:):) haha
i'm so glad you're doing this!! it will be nice to see mommy stuff so i can be prepared for the months and years to come!
ReplyDeleteand you've had that sweet tooth since i've known you - good luck quitting! i've only recently developed it - baby's fault!
True, I have always had a sweet tooth:) I loved being able to blame stuff on the baby inside me, now I don't have that luxury anymore....but personally, I'm glad to not be pregnant! Totally worth it in the end, but nice to be me again:) Well, the new and improved post-birth giving me...haha
