dyk the laundry is done save for what we are currently wearing and all put away

dyk all the bedding is fresh today too

dyk meatballs in the crock pot are ready -- Sean'll just need to make the rice to go with them

dyk medicines picked up (4 ADHD sripts) and dropped off and the new meds starting today (refulls) are in the cabinet

dyk the baby is napping, I am dressed, homework is done, bags are packed for tomorrow

dyk I can't prepare Sean for the dinner/book/snack/bed routine any more than I have

dyk I am watching Abi and Dek play

dyk and finally had to tell Dek not to growl at Abi b/c it's dangerous and told him "you need to know if you growl at her she'll hit you"

dyk and she will and he growled one more time just like he can't help himself and she kicked him and said that makes me angry

dyk he looked at me sheepishly lol

dyk his version of "wow you were right"

dyk whew. I need more caffeine

dyk how easy/well/smooth the evening goes will depend on how strictly Sean sticks to our madsen family evening protocol which is in effect from 5:15pm to 7:15pm

dyk we came up with some guidelines and routines/timing (shifted dinner to nearer to 6 rather than 5, no cell phones (he took 2 calls yesterday -- against protocol -- and Ellie dumped legos and snagged bread while he was on the phone)

dyk timings for book time etc --

dyk it's been working VERY well for calm quiet evenings

dyk but we've not done it either of us on our own haha

Dyk good luck with the cleanse. I need to get my eating back on track, which includes making sure I'm actually eating.

Dyk today I've had a larabar, and a latte and oatmeal from Starbucks.

Dyk I'll make a good dinner. Probably tofu and veggies.

dyk Abigail wore a skirt today to school -- but took her panties off when she got home

dyk and so she ran up to Deklan and said I'm naked under here -- see?

dyk and flashed him

dyk SO inappropriate

dyk so she's been sentenced to wearing pants until bedtime

dyk today I have had popcorn, pepsi max, and some slopp joe (venison meat, spaghetti sauce (turns out to have soy in it -- lovely) and tortilla chips

dyk the sloppy joe stuff upset my stomach - prompting me to go check my sauce -- soy and "traces of wheat" REALLY ugh

dyk after more than a year I'm still terrible at this

dyk, I just ate 9 brussel sprouts for dinner

dyk, I want more, but they were almost gone and I'd feel bad if someone else didn't get any

Dyk I used to buy the frozen packs of acai, and used them in my smoothies. It tasted like a chocolatey blueberry kind of.
