Fun with Chalkboards......

 

Part of the comedic charm of my family is that we have these giant chalkboards on our pantry doors. We are constantly leaving notes for each other, little reminders etc... Then someone comes along and changes a word or two and the whole meaning changes! The same holds true for pictures, someone could draw a triangle and somehow it morphs into a an alien vomiting a jack-o-lantern on dad's head. Never a dull moment, and some of the funniest things evolve from boredom! This chalkboard entry was posted because someone, who shall remain nameless, used my washcloths to wash her car.

Detoxing sucks a little less....

Ok so the first days of detoxing sucked more than words could say. I felt awful, I wanted to kill someone and I couldn't take an advil for the screaming headaches!! Now I am on day 9 (of 30) and I feel like the yuckiness has faded. I have lost 6 pounds, and my son has lost over 10! Woohoo, we are off to a great start! The nutritionist told me that after 72 hours the cravings for sugar and caffeine go away...she is, as much as I love her, a liar!

Detoxing Sucks!!

No, not drug or alcohol, or prescription meds...nothing that glamorous...I am food detoxing, and so far it sucks ass! I was lucky enough to inherit the fat gaining genes and other various health junk from both sides of my family! I then in turn felt I should pass it along to my son (who is 16). We both have food sensitivities, are lactose intolerant, blah blah blah...we both struggle with our weight, and live in a house with skinny people who always want dessert, and the food network is usually on two tv's at a time. This is another one of those things that I just can't make up. My husband is a total foodie. He will turn on food network  in the living room and the bedroom so that he won't miss anything (I know real on the edge of your seat tv). We go on vacations solely based on food.

My Crazy Life!

Let me start by introducing myself...My name is Laurie, I have been married for the past 19 years to the funniest man I have ever met. We have 4 children ages 23, 18, 16 and 9....and yes you have done the math correctly, we were not married when our first two children came along...truth be told, I didn't even know my husband when the first one was born...she is technically not mine by birth, but in my heart she is my first born. Now the next one, my little too-smart-for-her-own-good-obsessive-compulsive ray of sunshine is another story!
