Is that a tooth I see?

So what do you get when you have a tooth that's about to break through the gums, a cold that won't go away, and constipation all at the same time? A cranky, baby Lucas, that's what you get! And what do Mommy and Daddy do? Dole out Tylenol like it's candy, apply oragel every chance you get, take walks around the cul-de-sac when the crying won't stop, and run to Bi-Lo for some apple juice and prunes. Just kidding about the tylenol. We only give it at the correct times. It's been a long day. Actually a long week. Teething is no fun. None what so ever.

I ran into our neighbors at the grocery store tonight, where yes, I did buy apple juice and baby prunes to help with the pooping issues, who kindly offered me their spare bedroom when I told them of the drama at our house! I'm happy to add prunes to the list of foods that Lucas enjoys! We let him try a tiny piece of green bean today - big mistake. The boy has amazing gag reflexes and managed to bring up his carrots and oatmeal with little to no effort. Mental note - don't give Lucas any food with pieces in it yet.

There have been some great moments in between the crying fits. Like tonight, when Lucas kept yelling "baaaaa" and clapping his hands. Or when he contentedly played on the floor with a basket full of toys all by himself. Some would say the contentment was tylenol induced; we like to believe it was just his sweet disposition.

Pray for Matt - he has a virus thing. Not quite sure what it is, but it has wiped him out for about 24 hours. And pray for me. I tend to get cranky when stressed.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
