Just got back from teaching 10 year old cub scouts about meal planning and the food guide pyramid. They were tough! I could barely get through what I planned to say, cause they had a TON of irrelevant comments. Oh well, I kind of expected that. Since I didn’t actually get a breakfast today, I …

The sweetest 6 year old
I headed out at 5:30 to do a run around the neighborhood. Some days, the 30 minutes extra I need getting to and from the gym, just isn’t there. So I put my chemistry podcast in my ear and took off. I got 50 minutes in and 4.5 miles. I always eat a banana before …
Frustration

When we got home, I started with a spoonful of almond butter, with semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. When I’m in the …

Big butt
TJ: I love your big butt mom.Me: That’s rude TJTJ: No its not. I said I LOVE your big butt.
