As a child my mom used to make us grilled cheese sammies to eat with chicken noodle, campbells condensed of course, but she used American sliced cheese. Now, I wouldn’t say I’m a food snob but I definitely refuse to eat processed cheese. It scares me how fast that crap melts; it’s just not right. Well, as a mother of two baby boys I don’t wanna be that lame mom that says,...

For instance, “obviously”…is it obvious, Linds? or are you saying that to bs yourself into thinking you already knew or were going to do something. Next, “I was gonna say..”; Were you reeeeally gonna say that? probably not but go ahead and let your friend think you...

Everything was the same but BETTER! the equipment was nice and clean and new. No one gave me dirty looks for being fat like they do...
I’m just sad today
So the highlight of my week is Tuesday’s when the husby is off all day. We usually do something family oriented and then I get to go do something by myself, sans kiddos. Today the kiddos were sick husby was gone taking tests til 1 so after spending some quality time my outing is now. Mani/pedi and the grocery store; alone.
Amazing how my pleasures have changed.
