Exhausted

When people describe their busy toddler boys it sounds exactly like Boston. Except add on the drag-it-out, so-loud-you-think-you'll-go-deaf drama and crying of a girl. I'm sure I'm just wussy. I know there are far worse children out there. I am grateful for the sweet, loving side of her, but man oh man, can she wear me out! It's just a phase, right? She'll settle down. My girls will start playing better together. Boston will stop crying in the night. Right? Right?

I use to go to the store almost everyday with both girls. It didn't bother me. I liked to buy stuff fresh for dinner that night, and it was like my hobby. Now I dread it. I will not do it unless it is do or die. Thank goodness for the drive-thru dairy! It is my new favorite thing. I feel like milk is the only thing we can't get by without. Ya, I have to get the kids in the car, but seriously you just drive up and roll down the window. And they're really friendly!

When I'm exhausted like this, all I can think about is sweets. I would love to eat a huge bowl of ice cream. BUT, since I am trying to drop a few pounds, I tried an alternative so that I can curb my appetite without ruining my weight loss. Frozen banana ice cream! It was actually really good! You just take 1 frozen banana, and put it in your food processor until it's creamy. I added 10 frozen chocolate chips (yes, I counted them) and it was perfect. Give it a try, and let me know how you like it!
