I’m still kickin’. Some days are better than others for me. This past week has been a blur. Thursday morning we stopped at the chiropractor to get both kids adjusted. It seems to be making a difference for both of them. After the adjustments we were on the road to Milwaukee with a stop in DeForest to drop off the kids. Robert and I had a hot date to see Gaelic Storm at the Pabst Theater. It was so wonderful to get away and have it be just the two of us for a change. Friday was spend bumming around Milwaukee. The first stop was George Webb’s for breakfast. Good greasy spoon type of place. After we had our fill of food and coffee we made our way to the Miller Brewery for a tour. The filling line was down so we didn’t get to see any of that. However, we did get some nice cold beer at the end. I am going to pick up some MGD 64 to keep around. I feel less guilty drinking that since it has 2.4 carbs per serving. After our tour was done we made our way to the Safe House for lunch. I think it would have been more fun at night and to explore a bit more. We ended the day with a visit to the Mummies exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum. A very fascinating experience.
Saturday was spent with the kids and having a quiet day for the most part. We went to Mt. Horeb to meet up with some of Robert’s friends from college. I was able to get a baby fix in too! Little Molly is 3 months old and just over 10 pounds. It was fun to hold and cuddle her, but it was nice being able to give her back. :) We could have easily stayed up until midnight visiting, but both of us had to get our children to bed. Laura didn’t sleep at all on the way back to DeForest. Warren crashed shortly after getting on the road. He was easy to get down for the night. Laura needed a little bit of time to unwind yet.
Sunday was our drive back home. Both kids were just exhausted from the weekend. Laura slept until Knapp and Warren slept until Hammond. Pretty easy driving.
I worked Monday and today. Yesterday Meghan and Toby came to play with us. I’m hoping that we can see each other a little more regularly. Tomorrow I am meeting up with someone to give him kitty litter buckets. I should get Laura’s birth certificate out of the bank and get her registered for 4K. In the afternoon all three of us have chiro appointments. I am going to have the doctor look at my back/neck and make sure everything is how it is supposed to be. After work is the Data Center Move Celebration. I’m currently planning on joining with the kids. I am back to work on Friday, scrapbooking all day Saturday, church on Sunday, and back to work Monday-Wednesday next week. I can’t believe we are at the end of March already.
I was hitting a rough patch earlier last week. I was feeling very lonely on the road I was on. It was up to me to plan our menus, make the grocery list, and get the groceries to maintain my new low-carb lifestyle. I had considered giving it up to make life easier. Then I remembered that I was so unhappy before. I wasn’t satisfied with how I was eating. This is forcing me to think about my food choices. I let myself have a treat, but it is occasional. Before I would eat a large bowl of ice cream several nights a week. I maybe let myself have a fun-size candy bar once every two or three weeks now. I have added in most grains and foods. I haven’t added in a lot of fruit yet, but that is mainly because it isn’t in season. I have been enjoying fresh pineapple.
Anyways, after talking with Robert about how I was feeling, we decided that we need a better way to keep track of recipes. Up until now, we had been putting them on our Google calendar. I would make notes about whether we liked it or not and any changes that needed to be made. This still made meal planning difficult. As a solution, we are starting yet another blog. We are going to put up recipes and take pictures of the foods we make. I haven’t actually done much over there yet. Once I have, I’ll post the link here in case anyone is interested.
Well, that is enough rambling for tonight. I need to hit the hay. Tomorrow has potential to be a long day if naps are messed up.
