I think my blog is finally ready to move over completely (which is why you didn’t have the choice 😉 _… I still need to get used to this new format but I think that I am going to have a lot of fun with it… The cool thing is that it mine and I can do what I want with it..
What do you think?.. what’s missing?
Cleaning up the playroom we found the recumbant bicycle… not that the 150 pound thing was really lost it was just conveniantly out of the way… Simon asked me what I wanted to do with it.. I told him that we could put it away cause I don’t get the chance to use it much… he looked at me and said… ‘No, guess what… every night after supper when you want to go on the computer you are going to do at least 5 min”
I can’t get around it… no excuse will work… I have been putting it off and I shouldn’t make excuses… When I bought it I was actively losing weight, and I started with 5 min every 2-3 days and within a month I was doing 30 min every morning…
Thanks for the kick in the but sweetie!!
I am in the process of writing a few posts that will appear soon…
“AP may be my religion but Sears is not my god”
“Parenting and Guilt”
“Holier-then-thou? who’s really doing the judging”
and “100 things about me”
But for now….
Add your self to the Map

Open question period… Ask me anything and I will answer!
I deleted a comment on the last post because it was just full of insults and nonsense and I just won’t have it… I really don’t mind people disagreeing with me… I actually like exchanging ideas with people that I don’t agree with so that I can see the arguments that they are presenting…
However… I won’t let someone outright insult me… not here anyways…. so I have put the moderation mode on the comments… I won’t delete a comment because someone doesn’t agree with me but I will not let it go through if it is insulting….
As for the comment it was from an anonymous poster…. and pretty much said that formula by prescription was so dramatic that I should be writing for soap operas and that I was stupid, didn’t have an education, can’t read studies etc etc….
side note…
All the comments that I make are not at all against the users of Formula, it is about the substance itself (I know people might see it as being the same but it really isn’t) … and the Hate that I have is against Formula is mostly toward the companies that make it…. they are the ones that have made people actaully think that Formula is an equal (and good) option…. they are the ones that hide the dangers of Formula etc…. We all want what is best for our children… I just want the truth about formula to be known and the truth is that it can be very dangerous and is not at all a equal choice as the Formula companies make it out to be…
The kids are napping at the same time!!! Yeah!!!
I finally have a few minutes for myself… I could catch up on some sleep, or do house work… but nah… I want to sit here and write a few minutes…
A little while ago I realized that the kids where watching way too much TV… I am sure it isn’t as much as most kids but it was too much for me… We finally kicked the habit in a way that makes me happy… Xavier watches about 30 min (which is usually Little Bear) in the morning and then the TV is closed until I start making supper around 5-5:30 pm….
At first it was a bit hard for Xavier, he kept turning the TV back on but I just put it at either the Talk Radio station or the kids music station so that the TV was on but not for the picture but just the sound…
Though in a perfect world, TV wouldn’t be part of their lives at all… I am OK with just a small bit and it being very age appropriate shows… I only let him watch Treehouse channel which is only pre-school oriented and commercial free…and his favorites right now are Little Bear and Max & Ruby….
I have seen a change in the way that he is playing since the TV is off though that makes me even more aware of why too much TV is not a good thing… But I think in moderation it can be OK….

As for other habits that are changing in the house… I am slowly starting to clean the house mor in depth… I am a packrat… I admit it and I am now starting to work on it… slowly I am getting rid of ‘stuff’ that I just don’t need and clutter that is just getting in the way… The more I do, the more I feel better but it isn’t getting any easier…
