Elf on the Shelf days 6&7



Man, I love the Pintrest ideas for Elf! He's fond of drinking syrup and using my lip gloss. Bella thinks it's awesome! Still doing pretty good behaviour wise. Had a slip up last night with a tantrum before bed. I think she really misses her dad while he's at work during the week. He works long hours and I think it takes its toll on all of us. But, I always tell Bella to be thankful that she has a hardworking daddy because she has everything she could possibly need or want even. Yes, we spoil our kids. That's the whole point of having them, right? But, I digress. I really am digging our little elf. Just wait 'til you see what the sneaky thing is doing tonight! 

As for my side of things, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. We got our tree up today and I made reindeer munchies, marshmallow pops and Twix fudge. I think tomorrow will be tamales at mom's and probably some rum balls with coffee liquor instead of rum this year. I can feel the fat! haha! But, I'm determined to start working out soon. Got my doctor's appointment this week and hopefully I'll be given the green light to normal!! Fingers crossed!!

Cookies. Why yes. Yes I'll have a case.

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

Hello New Year, Bye Bye Tonsils!

Image
We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

I feel like...

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
