I’ve hit the wall, Gorgeouses. I’m tired again. Like, REALLY tired.
Mostly it’s because the Rascal’s been SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME, like, every 45 minutes…or less…for the past two days — ya think? Or, it’s this CARAZAY Canadian winter we’re having. Like, look at it out here!
The picture does NOT do it any justice.
Can you believe?
Or, maybe it’s because I keep finding things like THIS when I reach for my HEALTHY (but OH SO BORING) Ezekiel 4:9 cereal?:
SHORRRRRTCAAAAAAKE.
Don’t feel TOO bad for me, though, Gorgeouses. Because this particular kind of Peek Frean, I won’t TOUCH with my father’s 10-foot fishing rod (which, in turn, you couldn’t pay me to touch with a 10-foot pole). Know why? Because — can you believe? — there’s BEEF FAT in it! What? You don’t believe me? LOOK:
B to the E to the E to the F to the F to the A to the T! BEEF FAT!
I’s okay, though, Gorgeouses. I got Minden. And, GORGEOUSES? Minden’s got FANS! Some of you DO come here for him. So, I give you THIS because I love you….
Okay, so, imagine you’re me. Here’s Minden. Sitting in front of you at your computer (with Ms. PINKBERRY)….
Kay, Now he’s coming at you. Here he comes!
Huh? Wha? Wait!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!Ejfiohf ijroooojogeptihdooghhhhhhhhribknv
GASP! TONGUE IN MOUTH! TONGUE IN MOUUUUUUUTH!!! phft ptew phft. EW! Kind of, erm, sandpapery on one side and GEEEEWWWY SLIIIIMY on the other!
I think I’m going to be sick. ‘Scuse me….
Must take mind off that…. Must take mind off…. There….
See that mouth? MY BOOB IS IN THAT MOUTH practically TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN!
AAAAND, we cut this post short to go stick boobie in mouth. (Bring it AWN, Googlers!)
Gorgeouses! Don’t forget to check…
We got a YUGE roundup today…. I’m finally getting back into the old swing of things…. LOTS OF GOSSIP. LOVE! xo Haley-O

My jelly belly thanks you for pointing out the BEEF FAT! I will not be indulging in the shortcake anymore. I’ve been snacking on the Weight Watchers cakes that are one point – for one point they’re pretty good. Although like my girlfriend I find that it’s hard to stop at one and soon enough, whaddayaknow – I’ve eaten the entire freaking box…
How does the Rascal like the Jolly Jumper? It was a life saver in my house – both boys loved it!

Awwww….I don’t know about my baby…but ever since he can eat full meal, he had decided to breastfeed at least 90 minutes per day. It could be three times a day, or twice or once. I am starting to have visions of actually having to wean this child. He’s only 22 months old.

Don’t most cookies have lard or shortening (which usually contain animal fat)?
Super-cute photos, as always.
And try to get some sleep. They say that an hour before midnight is worth two after midnight, so maybe getting to bed early FOR ONCE would do ya good! just sayin

And I love the picture of the rascal in the jolly jumper… he’s getting SO BIG though!

I love the jolly jumper picture! I loved our jolly jumper!
Thanks for pointing out the beef fat. Oh wait – what is in my work cupboard? Those exact cookies. Actually, it won’t deter me. Besides right now I’m eating a different kind of cookie and I just checked – no beef fat!

The kids are ADORABLE and seeing the jolly jumper scene brings back mega memories …as I am sure most parent have had “the Jolly Jumper”…and being that my baby is 20 and lives in BC, well its just brought back a flood of memories. Minden just makes me laugh…I am sure he was a WONDERFUL human in another life (if such A thing exists). I mean you have two other cats and from what I can see from your posts they act like “cats”. Thanx Minden you are the cats’ mEoW!!
Renee said, February 20th, 2008 at 10:46 am
I never knew that about shortbread cookies…probably just that brand. who woulda thunk to put beef fat in cookies. totally weird!

I am finding it hard to believe there is BIBLE QUOTE CEREAL!!!! And that they sneak beef fat into it. I hope someone lets the Hindus know. My friend is in India…I’ll ask her to spread the word.
I am about 12 years from being a great source of advice, but I’ll plunge ahead anyway.
1. Have your iron checked. Having low iron can make you VERY fatigued. Its symptoms can mimic depression. I remember crying for no reason, feeling like getting out of bed required an act of extreme will and feeling like it would never get better. Within a few days of taking large doses of iron, I was constipated but not exhausted.
2. I remember my doctor saying, “The baby only NEEDS to eat every couple of hours at this age. So if you want to be a human pacifier, that’s up to you.” I know it’s easier said and done because you have to listen to the screaming, but it might be worth a try to do a little infant/Mom standoff and see what happens. And when are they saying now that you can give rice cereal? Probably age 1, knowing how that trend was going in my day. I think in my Mom’s day they gave it in utero.
Good luck. I heard a baby scream non-stop at the pediatrician yesterday, so I can imagine how painful that can be.

You must be just exhausted between the nursing and working out. And the staying up to blog! I hope he gives you a break soon, cuz the body puts his needs before your own, shuffling all that nutrition and calories to the milk instead of to your poor bod!
Cyndi said, February 20th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Well, he may be eating all the time, but he sure is getting big!
We got some snow here yesterday. It was gone by noon. I want just a little so we can play and maybe build a snow man.
sarah said, February 20th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I totally remember the growth spurt b’feeding, and it was 6 years ago lol –

I wonder how’d you would like a dogs-tongue-in-mouth .. trust me, it’s pretty leud!
Chai latte mommy said, February 20th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Beef fat – yuk! I think I’ll stick to making my own cookies, for sure. I think that this lovely Canadian winter is zapping everyone’s energy. I have been feeling so tired lately too. I NEED Spring!

I’m a vegitarian and you would be surprised how many things I can’t eat because they have some type of gross animal product in them. Still, there are enough tasty things left out there to keep my weight in perpetual flux. Sigh!
