New feeding schedule.

Today begins day two of Charlie's new feeding schedule, or rather my aweful attempt at regulating her schedule. Suffice it to say, she's not a happy baby right now.

Last night.... let's just say I got more sleep when she was eating every two hours. I still have my sleep mask pushed up on my forehead, handy so that I might be able to catch a few zzz's if the oppertunity presents itself.

Sure, I have dreams for my children.
Pick up their own socks, sleep past 7am on the weekends. *wink*

On the bright side- I realized this morning that Charlie hasn't thrown up in 1 week. Her GERD is becoming so much better these days. She has make huge progress and I honestly don't think I had anything to do with that. Either she's gotten better with age, or God has answered my prayers. :) Maybe both.

Baby calls, back to work.

Mom Thought of The Day

"I still try to buy cute underwear, but not too cute,
because what do you think got me into this mess?"

What to eat?

Hmmm... The last time I gave any thought to a "New Year's Resolution", it was 4 yrs ago and I decided to quit smoking. I've been successful so far, so I guess that says something. But it created a bad relationship with food. One I still haven't over come. I'm 20lbs over weight and very unhappy. So what do I do?

I have a friend who is going Vegan and another who is just an Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian. I have been reading up on other eating lifestyles and it so hard to know what would fit my families lifestyle. I want us to eat better, and I would really like my hubby and I to lose some weight and get back into shape.... but which way to go? I don't mind a fish only diet (no meats), but hubby won't adhere. Kids will always complain about more veggies and hubby doesn't eat fruit. Sigh. I can't please everyone, just find the best comprimise and start getting creative with the recipes.

Sanity Saver?

For some juvenile reason I feel like a copycat, lol. I am wondering if this blog thing could be my sanity saver. As a mom of three girls I affectionately call "snap", "crackle", and "pop", I think I've earned one. :)

Real quick- I'm a 26 yr young stay at home mom/face painter to 3 little girls. My husband and I live in a (increasingly small) house in Texas.



I keep thinking on something my hubby and I were talking about last night while watching a Christmas movie.... It seems to me that christmas is just a Pagan holiday. Perhaps something made up by the roman catholics... i dunno. But it seems odd (as my husband pointed out), that "christmas" isn't about Jesus's birth. Christ- jesus and mas- death. Think about it. Who's bright idea was it? Who benefits from it? After reflecting on this, I felt bad that I am teaching my kids about santa and the easter bunny. Why do I support something I don't believe in? Don't get me wrong- I believe with every fiber of my God given being that Jesus is my lord and savior. Period. But why do we allow our kids to write letters to santa? Why aren't they writing a letter to God giving thanks, or sending up a prayer or two? And where does it say in the bible that Christ was even born in December? Hmm?? Every day should be about God, not just a few select days a yr. I think the only reason that I allow us to put up a tree and give presents is for the joy of giving to others in need (which is what god calls us to do), and so they don't feel left out and weird. I know, the last reason is a poor one, but I'm only human.

Enough on that. I have to feed "pop".

Time to go be MOM again.
