I have a leetle problem

Authors: GiGi

 *written months ago - posted after notifying my boss (who I sincerely hope doesn't know this blog exists, but might)

I'll be upfront about this.

I have a VERY addictive personality/genetic code. The majority of my relatives are functioning addicts. Luckily, I've MOSTLY avoided addiction.

I smoked for 10 years - about a pack a...

*this post was written well before you are going to read it.

We've gone back and forth between wanting another child. Before I was pregnant with T, I would have told you I wanted two kids and I wanted them...

Still here

Authors: GiGi

Growing up is hard.
I'm at the place in my life where tragedy has started falling upon people I love.
Really really hard times.
Seems a little silly to write about decorating summer houses and eating vegetables sometimes.
Be back soon with more silly posts, I'm sure.

Waiting

Authors: GiGi

To hear about our disaster.  Offer went in on Sunday - supposed to hear today or tomorrow.

I can't plan the decor at this point beacuse I don't want to be horribly dissapointed again.

Meantime - we had an amazing Unconditional Parenting moment yesterday.

According to the UP theory, insisting that a child apologize doesn't teach...

Paleo Woes

Authors: GiGi

The dairy I'm pretty cool with, but the carbs are killing me.

So far we've eaten:
steak (alton brown style) with onions and mushrooms - delightful
"paleo mashed potatoes" (caulflower, garlic, coconut milk) - GROSS and a waste of food and time
Roast Chicken (thomas keller style) - delightful
Roasted...

Paleo Tuna Salad

Authors: GiGi

So, I've struggled a little bit with carb craving.  I'll admit that last night my son's school sent Bulgar home with him (I know - San Francisco) and I snuck a few mouthfuls.  At least it's gluten free, right?

My biggest cravings have been coming around lunch time.  This is when I usually snack all day long to keep...

Paleo Day 1

Authors: GiGi

I had a weekend in a hotel room.
My body hates me for it. I was bored and missed my boys and I over ate. REALLY over ate.
I'm cutting back. Only whole foods, no dairy, no sugar.
Tons of fruit, vegis, and meat - all organic and free range.
We started last night with Tacos.
Pork marinated for hours in Trader Joe's Chipotle Garlic Salsa
Guac...

Disasterous Decision Averted

Authors: GiGi

Well, THAT fell through.

I'm thinking we're lucky.

I still L O V E the house, but at almost 200,000 worth of structural and termite damage, we would have gone upside down just to make the house safe.  The bank enthusiastically rejected our lower offer.

There are other things on the market that might be better and there are many...
