Just One. One is the loneliest number. ONE! It's just the smallest increment of measurement! It's not a big deal, right? RIGHT?
Uh
Hmmm
Wellllllll.
Maybe it is a big deal.
Here's the thing: I didn't write my blog for ONE day. Which turned into two, which turned into 4, and now here I am doing something for the first time in 4 days - something I'm striving to do EVERY DAY.
And that's not the only thing.
It's like cleaning - you leave one dish, just ONE dish, and the dang thing breeds in the sink & pretty soon you've got you're whole sink full, and it smells, and you're ashamed, and there you are, washing your dishes all ashamed for half an hour. Boohoo, but it's your own fault: you let that one sit, and it turned into many.
Or it's like eating healthy. I'm trying to eat healthy. I'm still trying to lose weight from my pregnancy almost two years ago! Plus, just eating healthy is, well, it's just healthy. But I have what some might call a food addiction. I just love food. I think about food all the time. I want food all the time. I heard about some study somewhere that people who think about food a lot are about 20% heavier than 'normal' people. Which didn't make me feel any better - how am I supposed to change those brainwaves? I don't know, but that's off topic. Back to the ONE. So yeah, I try to eat healthy: no processed, microwaved, crappy hydrolyzed anything added, no CRAP! But then I'll justify eating one thing, just ONE thing: Oh, I'm hungry, I can eat this boxed cookie, it'll be fine. Except that it's never fine, then I'm eating any old thing that comes my way AND stopping on my way home to pick up a cold cappucino drink with who knows what's in that. And let me tell you - when I'm eating real food for two weeks, I start trimming down and my depression is much easier to manage (by the way anyone wanting to not take medication for depression: diet, exercise and VITAMIN D in liquid form - try it, you'll like it). But it's all just like that stupid chip bag says:
"Bet you can't eat just one"
Taunters
Damn taudry taunters!
NO! I CAN'T! I CAN'T JUST EAT ONE!
I'll eat several! And my body doesn't process foods like it used to, so then I'll be bloated from the salt and gain weight from the oil - and I won't get enough nutrition from the potatoe to make any difference at all.
Does that make you happy?!?
Bet you can't eat just one.
Alright, I know they're not trying to mock me or taunt me, but listen, it really does taunt me - think I don't know I can't eat just one? I know that! So I just better stick to Zero. Big fat ZERO, my pal the goose egg, zero, my hero. If I keep it all at none, than I have none to worry about and none to justify the next 15 or more.
Hope you liked the rant.

Day 388: Sharing is Caring
All I have to say today is that sometimes on my drive home from work I think about: ugh, what a long day; wow, what a really long day; I'm tired, it feels good to be tired and know I just got paid to get this tired; I can't wait to see my babygirl; it sure is beautiful here in upstate, NY; I wish this car would stop following me so closely - I mean, there IS another lane; am I lucky enough to have this life? I'm a good person, right? Yeah, I'm pretty alright, I guess. I mean, right? Yeah, I am. I think so anyway. Is it awful that I think I'm good enough for my life?
Nah.
Or is it?
I don't think so... if I say so myself.
I gotta get out of my head more often.
Well, that's what I thought about on my drive home today anyway - for almost the entire hour - and it definitely wasn't a first time event.
Cheers, love and all that jazz.

Day 387: CSA anyone?
During pregnancy, along with all the physical, hormonal, emotional and life changes, I made endless efforts to get healthier.
I'm not an expert, not by a long shot, and I'd still rather go camping with the bears than work out.
But.
I did find out a LOT about our American food, and our American food system.
It was pretty shocking.
Most of those apple pies your buying instead of making are riddled with chemicals designed in a lab that are mysteriously "just fine" for human consumption - without evidence to back it up (and in some cases, with scientists getting fired when they find during studies that many of these chemicals and processes make rats very sick). Meanwhile the cancer, obesity, heart disease, well, you name it and it's on the rise. And these are food related disorders. I think, sure, we eat a lot more than we need to as Americans, but mostly, we eat crap. Total crap. I'm talking anti-freeze in your ice cream, I'm talking manufactured (not in any way grown) blueberries in your cute little muffins, I'm talking ammonia washed meat in your burger, I'm talking petroleum based food packaging. I could go on.
But I won't.
Because it's not really what I wanted to write about today.
All that stuff is just the precursor.
So you know why I eat like a 'freak', as has been mentioned to me here and there when I'm caught eating my cut fruit that I cut myself and put in my little glass container instead of buying the prepackaged little plastic containers of processed fruit.
I am the proud participant of a CSA in my area.
And I love it.
I paid a subscription fee up front, though some are set up so that you just pay a weekly fee for a particular amount of product.
Anyway, so I paid an up front fee which gets me what ever I want that my farmer has available whenever I want it. During the winter it was only meat, a few eggs here and there, honey and some pretty amazing apple cider vinegar. I can't wait for the plant harvest though.
So some things I noticed about the meat: it tastes like real meat. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just go buy your regular meat, then buy one single pound of grass fed 'organic' meat. Make burgers out of each, and see what you think of the difference. I was totally shocked. I didn't think there should be such a difference, so I looked it up to see what other people were saying, and I read, heard all the same things I was thinking.
Amazing what a little grazing on unfertilized lawns will do for the meat of a cow or a lamb.
And the lamb is more amazing than I ever thought. I had a bad experience with regular store bought lamb once a while ago and thought all lamb was an acquired taste and just EWWWW. But, as it turns out, it's just all in the way the dang lamb was raised!
I think we have such a separation from the ideas of where our food comes from that we can't even imagine that the processes in which it is raised would make such a huge difference in the way they taste when we've bought them from the supermarket then cooked them at home.
Oh, and a CSA is "Consumer Supported Agriculture", so it is where you, the consumer has a direct product to purchase relationship with the farmer. No middle man, no extra rules or fees for either you or the farmer. In most cases, you can tour the farm and in every case, you can ask the farmer anything you want about his/her processes. This is a truly great way to get pure products and keep our American farmers sustained financially and within their community. It isn't that difficult to find them, you just have to look and make a few phone calls or send a few emails. After that, it's easy and completely rewarding.
In some cases, I've heard of people buying part of a dairy cow so they can have some of the raw milk produced by the cow. This is one way of getting around all the governmental red tape that hovers over the milk industry - it is also another example of direct product to purchase relationships.
Just something to think about.

Day 386 : Simplification isn't that easy
I've noticed in the last few months I walk around feeling my pockets. For several reasons. Sometimes it's because I have no idea what I'm doing and I think that if I check my pockets I'll find some clues as to where I'm going or what I'm doing that day. Sometimes it's because I feel like I'm missing something and even though I don't know what it is I think I might find it in my pocket.
I never do.
Honestly I think it's because I don't know what the hell it is I think I might be missing.
I think all this pocket fondling is due to over complication of life. Life is already complicated, but those of you who know me well know that I just never stop. I sign myself up for everything. I went from having 3 jobs to having a family and I have no idea how to make the transition. The transition just sort of happened and I've been walking around just trying to do all the stuff you have to do when your life changes from busy single crazy female to mom extraordinaire grasping at straws to feel fulfilled outside of motherhood.
What I've found is that signing up for everything that I care about or that I want to help with only leaves me feeling overwhelmed, over complicated and constantly confused.
Great.
Oh, and I'm also not fulfilling many of my actual goals, goals I set for myself before any of this other outside shit presented itself.
So now I'm trying to simplify.
And it makes me feel guilty. But I felt guilty anyway. I just can't ever seem to do enough. It's never enough.
But I really dislike the disorientation and the feeling around of the pockets thing just makes me feel like a weirdo. Seriously.
So now I'm removing a lot of things from my home, I'm not saying yes to everything, and I'm trying to just have a little fun here and there. I will say, though, that simplifying your life is really really really hard. And complicated. But I totally recommend it.
Cheers to you, and your over complicated and lovely life.

Day 312: What it sounds like
Holy moly, I just love being a mother. Whatever and everything that entails: I love it. Even when my daughter has been a little poo flinger and I'm disturbed and disgusted and scared that we're all going to get sick if one little speck gets missed in the cleanup: I love it.
My favorite part?
There are several of those.
Yep!
Several.
I love it when she knows she's done something bad and she tries to get out of the negative consequenses by looking up at you after you say a stern "NO!" and saying a sweet "Hieeee!" in rebuttal. As hard as you might try: you'll giggle despite your intense need to stay strong.
I love it when she's all angry at being in the carseat or whatever and she's skreeching her little "Eeeeeek!"s, and you play a little peek-a-boo with her and those skreeches turn into giggles in 20seconds flat.
I love it when I go to check on her because she's been quiet for just long enough to be getting into trouble, and I find her quietly sitting and "reading" a book: turning the pages and studying each one before turning to the next.
I love it when I see her go to attempt something new, something I just know she cannot do, but I let her try anyway because that is the only way she will ever learn for herself how to do things: and he blows my mind by being completely successful.
I love it when she is participating in self play and suddenly bursts into song or a random string of words she knows: "MIMI! MIMI! MIMI!" (translation: that is her name) "Mmmmmah!" (translation: kiss and milk) "Alilililililigadew" (translation: alligator) "Bee!" (translation: the letter "b", and bear) "Abidad" (translation: Wombat - our cat's name) "Eeowwww" (translation: meow) "Duck" (translation: duck or dog) "Wow!" (translation: wow) "No" (translation: no) "Iiiiita-iiiiiita-iiiiiitabateeee, aaaaaaaaaaaay!" (translation: the itsy-bitsy spider song)
I think my favorite thing that she does this week is when she says her name over and over and over again while shaking her head "no". So funny. And it also lets me know that she is paying attention to when she is being told "no". I hope the action leaves a bigger impression than the "no", but that remains to be seen.
And she had her first REAL time out time today... A full 5 minutes in a chair, facing the wall. She hated it. I hope she learned something. I hope it wasn't just an unpleasant experience.... I guess that remains to be seen as well!
And
Now

Day 307: True to Form, I am now sleep deprived.
It's no secret: I've never really slept well.
But add the excitement of a family holiday, and it's a useless endeavor.
Don't get me wrong, I'm used to running for long periods of time on little to no sleep. The biggest setback on this spectacular occasion is that I have only slept about an hour since 8:30pm day before last. Meh, oh well, I'm too excited to care and really, I have too much to do if we're going to leave on time.
We are going on a little trip!
To our nation's capitol!
I've never been, and I'm SO excited! It's not that big of a deal, just two days away in a place known around the world for shady backroom deals, worldwide heroes, runaway dreams, and squashed honest good for the love of money. I guess that's one way of looking at it anyway. Another thing to think about is the many, many, MANY museums, the architectural landscape, the grungy underscene of the day to day life in a big government town where people still run the CVS, walk their bad dog, and fight with their sister. I want to see it all, but I know the two days will fly by like nothing and we'll be waiting until the next time we have a bit of a chance to get back there. Already I can't wait: that might be the sleep deprivation talking though.
Anyway, I must be off!
There are wraps to roll!
There is a cooler in this house somewhere and that puppy needs to get to the car!
Plus I want to make us some nice breakfast sandwiches with the lovely local grass fed beef breakfast sausage, the certified humane cage free vegetarian fed chicken eggs and some classic nooks and crannies from Thomas's English Muffins. YUM! And socially responsible!
Did you know they make a mexican flavored dogfood? Yeah. BlahbityBlah Fiesta! The only thing I saw that was remotely Latino was the avocado..... Not a great idea, that one.
Anywhat.
Link of the Day:
Listen, I don't post these links as to say "Hey! I know everything and here's a little tidbit to prove it!" And I also don't post them to say "Wow, look at this link: this is the be all end all of everything that is important and smart and wonderful." I do post them hoping that you get something out of it. Please enjoy, and I genuinely hope you do.

Day 293: For Shame, For Shame
You ever felt ashamed?
Sure you have, you can admit it.
At least I'm telling you that you can admit it because I'm about to.
Not about big stuff, just about little stuff - I'll leave my big stuff in my closet and you can do whatever you want with yours. I'm keeping it a bit light for the sake of conversation.
But yeah, I mean little stuff, like:
-If you're on a diet with excercise trying to lose weight, and you opt in for the butter on your muffin (sweetened with applesauce, of course!)
-You offer your daughter a blue crayon when she can't decide what color to start with even though you secretly want to hand her the pink one "because pink is for girls" and that's the one you would want to start with if you were her
-You go out for shopping or laundry or another errand and you enjoy your time away from your family (Don't worry, I always want to come back, but believe me, I'm savoring the time outside)
-Your partner asks you if you have any cash and you say no even though you know you have at least $2 cash money in your pocket right then (oh, come on, I know you've done that too - it's only $2!)
-You try to think of ways of getting around answering a question or explaining something in detail to your very young child even though you generally pride yourself on talking to her like a "normal person".
-You told yourself you were going to do 3 sets of your workout routine today but you only did one (or none)
I think you see what I mean. This wasn't intended to be confession time. I just wanted to throw it out there - all that shame. It's all over little stuff - don't sweat the small stuff , yeah , I get it, but let me tell ya: all that small stuff adds up sometimes!
So, you just keep sweating the small stuff, but don't give it more sweat than it's worth. At least I'll try if I know you're out there doing the same thing. Besides, we all have stuff to be plenty proud of to overshadow that little creeping shame.
Cheers to you and all that awesome stuff you do.
I'm going to go look for some healthy and delicious recipes.
