Toddlers, Tears, and Tryptophan


It's Thanksgiving week and I am questioning why I decided to try and get fit during the holidays. It really doesn't matter much, since we will be staying home with the kiddos, just our little family. I have a turkey to cook, a can of green beans, some instant mashed potatoes and stove top stuffing. Classy!

Will I be making paper-handprint-turkeys with my kids? No. I'm just not that kind of Mom I guess.

My kids have picked this week to become over-the-top drama monsters. Even my happy baby has been grumpy. I will take a guess at teething. Kenzie's second birthday is the 1st so she is in full-on terrible two mode.


For your enjoyment here is the latest in what has been making her scream and cry:
  • I turned on music.
  • I turned off music.
  • I tore a page out of her book to color.
  • She wanted the other pair of plain white socks.
  • Her felt Christmas tree fell down.
  • She had to get in the cart at Target.
  • She had to get out of the cart when we were done at Target.
  • She had to take a nap.
  • She woke up from her nap.
  • Her felt Christmas tree fell down.
  • I put her fruit snacks in the big green bowl, not the small blue one.
  • I tried to read her a new book.
  • I read the Bear books out of order.
  • I wouldn't let her get into the oatmeal canister.
  • Her felt Christmas tree fell down.
  • I changed her bedding.
  • I gave Ketcher one of her toys to play with.
  • I was using a blanket.
  • I laid on the couch.
  • I told her she couldn't dance on my laptop.
  • She couldn't use the plastic play fork to stab the dog.
  • I made her wear a shirt to the store.
  • Her felt Christmas tree fell down.
  • I didn't get the toothbrush out fast enough.
  • I made the wrong mac n cheese. (apparently)
  • I hot glued sticky tabs on the Christmas tree so it wouldn't fall down.
This is just from today.

Anyway, I am sure most of my readers are traveling or planning to travel so happy trails to you.

I will have my first set of before and after pics posted next week. I really have to get my shit together on eating better. That will be my December focus with the exception of the 4 parties we have to go to and Christmas. If you have any ideas or recommendations please message me!

As always, thank you for reading, and Happy Thanksgiving!
