A Pointless Post

Well I didn't actually have time to eat any fudge yesterday, and I'm in a much better mood today. MUCH better. Which is very bizarre, because the more that I think about it, maybe it was the fudge that caused my mood to crash so drastically. Shaggy has the same reaction when he eats chocolate or eggs or anything with preservatives. Which is really a bummer because I still have fudge leftover.

I just had some gluten-free pizza for lunch and it's leaving a weird aftertaste in my mouth. Hard to describe, other than it's not very pleasant. I bet some fudge would wash the taste away.

So. As you've noticed, I've got nothing of substance to talk about.

The Princess is awesome. Even when she's hard to get along with, she's still awesome. She's funny. Once she hits her point of extreme tiredness, she is soooooo difficult to get along with. We struggled through lunch today because nothing was good enough. Thumbelina is a picky eater, so I offer her a variety of foods and hope for the best. Today's entree was a yogurt tube. Except I gave her the blue one, and she wailed because it wasn't the colour she wanted. She was tired, so I gave in and gave her the pink one. And then she wailed because it made a mess on the floor. Next on the menu was a cheese string. And she wailed because the first one broke. Again, because of her tiredness, I gave in and gave her a new one. And then she wailed because she threw it on the floor. Dessert was pudding. She wailed because I put the spoon into the pudding before I brought it to her. So I took the spoon out and gave her a new spoon so that she could put it in herself. And then she wailed because she spilled pudding on her shirt. But she was happy happy to go down for her nap and she is quiet now, so all is well in our world. I find her behavior amusing.

Alright, so I've bored myself to tears with all of this jarble, so I am signing off for today.

What Happened to September?

Hey Readership, how are you? What's up? What's new? Lookin' great, milkshake!

Have you ever been extremely crabby, with no apparent reason for your crabbiness? That's the state I'm in today. And it's Thanksgiving, no less. So, I'm thankful that I have children with which to be crabby at. Oh, is that not how giving thanks is supposed to work?

Okay, then. I am thankful that my homework-induced stress headaches are gone. We still have quite enough homework coming home, some of the children are not doing the best in their classes, but the 4:00 -bedtime headaches are gone. Funny, that.

So, yes. School is going okay. And I find myself in shock that 6 weeks have already gone by and our first 4 day weekend is now at an end. Which reminds me, I need to make lunches for tomorrow and pack up backpacks, and do all the fun stuff that is my life.

I am thankful for gluten-free fudge. I've been recently 'diagnosed' with having celiac disease. 'Diagnosed' meaning the doctors I have been to said, "Well, it sounds like celiac to me." It's a hard disease to diagnose if you are not consuming gluten in your diet. Which I am not. And I am not willing to eat gluten just to get a positive test result.

I am thankful for the new girl who is working in my office, who takes instruction without huffing and getting all snotty, and who really knows her stuff.

There are a lot more things I am thankful for - such as the both of yous who take the time to stop by and read my ramblings - but now I need to bathe my two-year-old beauty. And eat my gluten-free fudge.
