Tuesday Ten

Rhonda Gail | May 11, 2010

1. Tomorrow, my stepson will be here for a week, and I am not mentally ready for another preschooler to be under my care! That’s today’s mission… get prepared!

2. First thing in the mornings, before I can open both eyes, before I’ve had coffee or coke, before I know where I am, who my parents are, and what my name is… Nick is ON ME. In my face, loud, asking for things and forcing games on me. WHY?!?!

3. I had a friend suddenly, without explanation, unfollow me on Twitter and block me from following him. Could be an accident, right?! Wrong. He also removed me from his FB friends. What?! I’d love to just let it go, but that’s not my style. I’m hurt and confused, so I sent a message asking why. I am the type who really needs answers.

4. I am still failing at Bobbi’s Healthy Train. I know I can do this, but I just feel so… lazy. Laziness is a sickness that not only keeps you from working out, but also from taking the time and energy to plan healthy meals. I’m back on 100% today, committed to one soda a day, lots of water, and smaller portions.

5. Harper has learned to point at things and yesterday added a new word to his vocabulary – SEE! While pointing! So cute. The best part of being a parent is definitely watching the children learn!

6. I had an at-home hair coloring incident last week that resulted in reddish brown roots (with my black hair). There’s not much I can do at this point but just live with it until the black fades some. I keep hoping I’ll start a fad!

7. I am at a weird point in my life where I feel content, but am experiencing regret for the first time in my life. It’s as if overnight, someone flicked on the realist switch. I miss my enthusiastic idealism.

8. I signed Harper up for a cute baby contest sponsored by a local radio station. I mean, I know I’m biased, but hardly any of these babies are as cute as him! Help us out and rate him a 10!

9. I’m so excited about something I’m making for a friend. It’s a surprise, but he’s going to love it!! Once I give it to him, I will do a blog post on it, complete with pictures about the DIY project!

10. I alternate between experimenting in the kitchen and cooking old favorites. Last night I made one of my best spaghetti sauces ever (old favorite). Tonight is creamy chicken taquitos (experiment), with a few modifications to prevent me from buying a bunch of ingredients that I can instead substitute from my pantry.
