My brain is fried for whatever reason, not sure how random this is actually gonna be!! Head over to The Unmom for lots of randomness...
- I've been letting distractions, emotional ones, get the best of me. I've sat around thinking, crying, and feeling sad about certain things in this crazy life on and off for the past couple of days. I guess it proves I'm human, if I didn't care - it wouldn't affect me, right? I keep reminding myself that all that we endure, all that affects us, carves us out into the person we're meant to be... even though quite honestly some of that 'carving' sucks monkey toes.
- Made Strawberry Bread night last night, and one of those 'distractions' took over my thinking process and I left out the sugar!! It's not much sugar, as you can see in the recipe HERE, but the bread is basically crappy without it!! Threw it away.
- I'm having hot flashes that make Alaska look like a good place to live, I very well could be contributing to global warming. I earned my rights to genetics like the rest of the world and am following my mom in having the 'change' early. IT SUCKS. My doctor tells me that THIS PART, the hormonal shifts, the hot flashes that double as power surges, can and probably will last 5-10 years before the 'actual change' occurs.
- Another food screw up, I left out the leftovers last night. That's a lot of "L's" in that sentence. Rambling... anyway - it's just another fried brain move of mine in the past 2 days.
- On a good note, my 10 yo SEEMS excited about 6th grade and middle school. He can't wait to have a locker. Ha.
- The grass needs mowing.
- I left the watermelon in my trunk, since Sunday - GAWD!!!!!!
- I am so out of it, that I'm just now sitting down to comment back on some of last weeks comments on my blogs. I'm just not with it yet people, after today I'll be back on track - hopefully!
- Ooo. I just entered Living As Mom's contest for a $25 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway From Kijiji http://tinyurl.com/ptvtrm
- Alright, my coffee is ready. If I could run it into my body with an IV today I would. I'm still stoked that I can drink my coffee and tell myself it could be HELPING ME somehow!!!

Amen to the first point. I've had a shit 10 years but, and I have often struggled to remember this, it has made me the person I am today and I wouldn't change her for the world.
I too have made a couple of serious 'food errors' recently and we don't have a dog to eat it for us!
Happy Tuesday! (and take care of yourself)
Seems like when those distractions get me down I know it's probably hormones.
Have a great day!

Food malfunctions be dammed, keep smiling through it all and remember that you are a work in development.
Happy RTT
All of your goofiness this week pertains to food. What's up with that?
I'm with your 10 year old. Lockers are pretty sweet.
You do have to make your strawberry bread again though. That stuff is delicious!
If that makes us who we are today I'm a blubbering, fetal, mess...lol I think normal should be the new crazy, 'cause I haven't met anyone who doesn't feel similar and as far as I'm concerned majority rules!
Sorry you're having a down week. The bread with no sugar was kind of funny though. Not funny since you didn't get to eat it but next time that happens, put some strawberry jam on it and nobody will ever know. I have hot flashes all the time but I just figured it was me being overweight, living in FL with toddlers to chase.
I thought I was peri-menopausal because of hot flashes & other symptoms...turns out my thyroid is off & dr said my other hormones that mean peri-menopause aren't even close! Whew! I'm gonna take thryoid meds & all will be great! =) Get your's checked!
On the forgetting sugar note...my sister made SUGAR cookies & forgot the sugar before- those were awful! =)
Ok, I'm going to try the bread. And those emotions that distract? I'm pretty sure we all have those weeks. You just gotta cry it out, and then let it go. Losing left overs sucks, though. We do that all the time at our house (You didn't put them away, either?).
I know what you mean about emotions getting the best of you. I've been crying a lot lately too. Maybe there's something in the air?
Maybe I'm preparing for the change too. I'm only 37 but have hot flashes so bad that if I'm wearing shorts I'll leave an actual puddle in a chair when I stand up. Gross, I know.
Watermelon in the trunk for 2 days? Not so bad. Hamburger in the trunk (cuz it fell out of the grocery bag) for a week--sti-inky!!
Great random thoughts!

I agree, that "carving" sucks monkey toes!!
You can make strawberry bread? Sure, you forgot the sugar, but at least you know you can make some.. :D
Having the "change" early can be hard huh? Hugs!
My 1st grader wants a locker this early, I guess it's that cool.. LOL
Our grass needs mowing too!!
Oh, poor watermelon, what a waste! :D
Have a Happy Week Sarah! :)
Poor Watermelon... I want some strawberry bread now I think I will try the recipe and leave in the sugar...
