Okay, seriously?? I'm supposed to be watching what I eat. Well....technically, I am. I'm watching the wine I pour in the glass, the Easter chocolate that my daughter hasn't eaten and the cheezies that I bought that no one else in the house really likes. I am totally watching all of those things going down my pie hole (do people besides me even use that expression any more?). I can use any excuse that I want; it's Friday, I've been good all week (no I haven't), I'm stressed, I just don't care. My personal favourite is that the food companies have made me addicted to their products. The latter, although I am sure there is some truth to it, doesn't account for the fact that I still go into the store, pull their product off the shelf, buy it, bring it home and eat it....there are several step where I have a choice to say no and not have it. But really, I think I have discovered the perfect food combination.....wine, chocolate and cheezies.
What are your crazy food combinations?? Oh, my other favourite?? Peanut butter and chocolate chips....I try to avoid having both in my house at the same time :D

Please, Don't listen to Anything I Have to Say
I'm not kidding. Don't listen to me. I have no idea what I am doing in any aspect of my life. I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up and I'm 33 years old! I have tried every diet known to man and I am still chubby (I don't like the word fat, but if it fits....). I'm not going to win the "Mom of the Year" award.
That being said though, I am relatively comfortable in my own skin. Could I be thinner? Sure, but I am what I am and have never been ashamed of that. Could I have a career that is more fulfilling and where I earn more money? Probably, but I generally enjoy my line of work. Could I be a better mom? Absolutely (particularly if you ask my kids), but both of my children are fairly well adjusted, do well in school and have manners (especially if they are at someone else's house).
I have come to learn that there will always be more that I think I could, should or would like to do, but I am not Supermom. I don't greet my husband at the door with the newspaper and a beer in my high heels. However, I do the best that I can every day. I may not be perfect (and neither is my life), but I can hold my head high and be proud of the family that my husband and I have created.
Are you Supermom (or Superdad)?? I (and everyone else in the world) would like to hear how you do it. Or just give suggestions of time saving tips. I'd love to hear it!
