just another thursday

 it's kind of addicting to color that house!
some randomness ---

*i am on day 3 of NO DIET COKE! can you believe it?? i've been addicted to diet coke since college. i drank it ALL DAY LONG in college. when i was pregnant with rebekah, i gave it up...for about 6 months. once i hit my 3rd trimester, i couldn't take it anymore. and i never gave it up during any of my other pregnancies {and she - rebekah - was, BY FAR, the most "fussy, needy" baby....hmmm... :-)} i don't really know why i've given it up. i don't like the idea that i'm "addicted" to anything. so, i wanted to see if i could stop. it's been really hard. i haven't had a single headache. but, it's just something i love and miss! i'm not sure that i'll give it up forever. but, it's nice to know i can!


*joshua had his 7 year well check yesterday {he's very WELL! yay!} so, you know how the nurse does her "thing"  and then walks out the exam room door, closes it and you wait and wait and wait for the doctor to come in? i hate those waits. anyways...when the doctor DOES come, she knocks on the door before she opens it, right? well, when she knocked on the door, bailey immediately yells out, "Come in, Your Majesty!" hilarious, right?? :-)


*we have about 2 tablespoons of taco meat leftover from the other night. and half of an avocado from another recipe that is brown on the top. i'm ridiculously excited about making that into a taco salad for dinner. a diet coke with it would make it just perfect.... :-)


just another thursday around here...

Megan said...

Man, I am SO GLAD that I turned down that taco meat right now! ;-) Sounds like it made you a yummy dinner!

Just let yourself drink the DC. You proved you can give it up if you need to.

I am currently trying to wean myself off of caffeine. And the headache is awful. I mainly get caffeine from my morning coffee. I was an avid diet pepsi fan, but have pretty much stoped that addiction. I am down to using coffee with 1/2 the caffeine now. I found I was becomming a really stressed and anxious person...like to the point of actually having anxiety attacks that really scared me. Most doctors will have you cut out caffeine to start the process of working on the anxiety issue. So, that's what I am doing. I drink coffee because I love it, not necessarily for the caffeine (although, it's a nice bonus when you've got 7 kiddos!). Anyway, just thought I would share! And I am rambling....sorry. :)
