As if I didn’t eat enough starchy food today, we sat down to watch So You think You Can Dance and popped some popcorn! I don’t know why my kids can’t take a handful of popcorn and shovel it into their mouth without getting half of it on the floor. I have to vacuum every …

Working
I was scheduled to work today. (Generally I will work if Wade has the day off). So I got up and was at the gym by 5:30. I did 30 minutes on the Eliptical machine. I had my chemistry book in front of the display, and did not realize for at least 10 minutes of …
More Carrots
I was right, about 3:30, I certainly was hungry again. I decided a big glass of orange juice with some powdered greens for a little boost. I really like it! It makes me feel energized. Usually I’ll put the greens in a smoothie, but it was the middle of the day, I have a crappy …
10 year olds can be brutal
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
Swimming was great fun. But I brought Chemistry and was desperately trying to figure out all these conversion equations and it took forever. I am still a bit lost. But I’m moving on. When we got home, I started with a spoonful of almond butter, with semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. When I’m in the …
Heading out
The sun finally came out! Its not hot, but at least its not cloudy. I promised the kids if they weeded the entire garden, I would take them swimming. They were very motivated. Chemistry is going to be harder than I thought. While I was trying to distract myself from studying, I got snacky. Never …
Starting early
Monday! Sometimes I feel like 5:00 isn’t early enough for me. The more I can get done before anyone wakes up, the happier I am for the whole day. So, I was up at 5, and made it to the gym by 5:30. My husband suggested I download a Chemistry podcast (considering I’m trying to …
The Journey begins
I love my morning runs when I can be alone. Its the only time all day when I’m not being asked to do, watch, listen, help, and observe. This morning however, Erica and TJ both really wanted to run with me. I wanted to say no, but what kind of mother would I be if …
