Chocolate/Sweets Withdrawals

I hate the holidays for one reason and one reason only. I am so addicted to sugar. I love it and can't say no. So, the holidays come around and I eat. Then at some point I decide enough is enough and I quit. The problem? I have the worst withdrawals. I crave and think about sugar constantly, which of course is just torture! So, tonight as I sit here watching TV for a minute I am craving something yummy. I guess it is no wonder that I am struggling with losing weight, huh. Of course most of the commercials have to do with food. The last one I just saw was a commercial about pie and ice cream. Yum. It doesn't help my resolve that I have to see commercials that tempt me. Ah, the insanity of it all. :o)

I understand you completely!! I am so addicted to sugar too. When I tell myself I am not going to eat it anymore, then it is all I can think about. If only I could just watch The Biggest Loser all the time- that makes me never want to eat again! Sorry that I have no great advice to get through it!

I have a stash in my closet that everyone knows is there. I keep it there to keep the kids out of it. Ken raids it as often as I do. I also will keep baking goodies in there. Holidays, we love them too much. We always have the tight jeans to show.

One of the first things I'm gonna ask the Lord when I get to the other side:

Why'd you make so many of the healthy foods taste...not so desireable, while the majority of the really-bad-for-us foods tasted oohhhhhh sooooooo desireable?

Hmm...maybe I need to go have a scoop of ice cream while I ponder that question. ;)

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
