Best fit blog subtitle

I’m spontaneously creating the “best fit blog subtitle” classification because Amy’s blog subtitle made me laugh and laugh. I’m still chuckling.
Check out Does this font make me look fat? A blog dedicated to the eradication of my ass.
Oh, and the content is good, too.

I am about to realize one of my fantasies!

First, let me just say that my fantasies have changed since I became a mother.
My top three fantasies now:

Have all the kids be old enough for Sunday School so I can participate in services without whispering “stop that…be still….be quiet…shhhhhHHHHHH!” the whole way through. I’m sure that some other people at our church have that [...]

Weekend experiment working!

Well, my weekend experiment is working fabulously! Just had to post a quick note.

Caffeine level today: “vibrating crackhead”

I experienced Nirvana today.
After a week of little caffeine and only one or two Diet Cokes, I had a Crystal Light Focus.

What? You’re not buying that?
I was jazzed.
I was flying.
I was buzzed.
(I was not exactly focused. Unless you call working on 57 things at once focused. I did get a lot [...]

I don’t want to stress eat. This is new.

I came home.
My darling husband had fed and bathed the kids and gotten them in their ‘jamas.
Ah. A relaxing night.
But then…
One kid dropped a full water pitcher on the floor and it broke. While I was on the phone.

Then the toilet overflowed. After my darling husband [...]

Women’s funny weight loss math – CNN.com
Funny article. I broke even. I guess that’s good. Or maybe, according to the article, I’m just getting older. Hmm.
