More Tamales, Day 20

I slept terribly last night. I woke up in the middle of a dream with intense pain in my feet and legs. It took a while for a muscle relaxer to kick in, but I fell back asleep for the most part.
I gave in and took a vicodin this morning to stay on top of the pain. It helped. I was able to run the last errand I needed to run. I even wrapped a few more presents. I guess now its feeling like crunch time. I can't put things off like I have been.

It's my hope to be able to get in the kitchen tomorrow. I want to make some peanut clusters and I'm still itching to make lemon curd. I was also going to attempt a small batch of scones if I have the energy. We also still have sugar cookies to frost at mom's house. 

I think I'm just blogging my to-do list now! So boring, I know. For me, it's a help to get all this mundane crap out of my brain.

Also, I'm sitting at Chuck E. Cheese, so this was my little bit of quiet time today.

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!

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.
