So, the monkey’s school did a wonderful thing. They had a father’s day party for all the daddies and presented them with this little number:

It says “My Daughter _____ Walks All Over Me,” and has little monkey footprints all over it! They actually painted the monkey’s feet and had her walk across it! How sweet is that?

The back of the shirt looks like this:

OF COURSE, I made him wear the shirt all day today.

I even made him wear it to his……FACIAL! Because, YES, I got MY husband who, by the way, washes his face with Head and Shoulders (”TWO-IN-ONE” does NOT mean FACE and HAIR) a massage and FACIAL at my favourite spa for Father’s Day. Of course, he LOVED it and his face looks fabulous, Dahling!

EVERYWHERE we went, people were laughing at the shirt and making comments, like, “Can I buy that from you and give it to MY dad?” A few of the comments, like that one, got a little old after a while. But, how good is it to put smiles on people’s faces like that? Really feels good…. Really brightens up the day….

I actually really needed the laughs because I was feeling like CARB CARP this weekend. See, I always know when it’s going to rain because I get a brutal headache (and totally LOOPY!). And, with Josh-O on the massage table and two little monkeys sitting in my double stroller expecting FABULOUS things, as usual, brutal headache advanced to SPLITTING. But, we managed. A sweet little headache-relieving yoga practice, torrential rains, and a laugh-promoting T-shirt did the trick. I felt better….

But, now I feel like carp again because I SUCKED ARSE on my diet today. I got CARB HAPPY. Chai tea(s), crackers, pasta, FATHER’S DAY CAAAAAAAAAAAKE! You name it? I ate it! And, now I’m totally down on myself. The only thing unhunching my sorry shoulders right now is the PLAN to stick CLOSELY to my diet for the next 30 days in sort-of DETOX mode: no sugar, no chai, no chai, no chai, NO CHAI, more whole grains, vegetables, lots of water, lots of yoga. Yeah. We’re going HARD CORE, now, Gorgeouses…. Detox mode starting……..NOW: as the monkey says…, “SET READY GO!”

Happy Father’s Day to all the Cheaty dads out there! Thank you for reading…!
