A little bit of this and that.

1. Going corn free has fixed Autumn and allowed me to get down 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  Here is a shout-out to no corn!!

2. I remembered the local company here that delivers organic fruits and vegetables and for a mere $32.00 per week, deliciousness is on my doorstep each Tuesday.  I just checked and next week I get cherries, limes, blueberries, pears and bananas, spinach, leaf lettuce, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes and cilantro, all organic and delivered. 

3. Tonight with my chicken we tried something new and I highly recommend it.  I found it on Pinterest (Greg claims that I only like recipes from Pinterest, but I claim Pinterest in just a really effective way of browsing the Internet).  We roasted carrots and zucchini cooked in olive oil and sprinkled with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.  If it weren’t 10:00 I would go make some more. 

4. I love that Owen just watched two episodes of Martha Speaks and then said, I am done with tv now and got up and turned it off.  Granted it is 10:04 and he should totally be in bed and I have no plans to go put him there yet, but nice job on turning off the tv on his own.

5. Kristi started watching Autumn this week while I work. I miss that little bug, but I loved being back at work and meeting with clients and dressing up for Court.  I love being home with my kids and having the flexibility that I do, and I truly love working.  I have decided over time that even though I have a horribly messy house and often times I don’t do any one thing very well cause I do a little of each half way, it works.  I am better at each because I have the other.

6. The other day Greg said he wanted to do a triathlon and then looked confused and said he thought he told me that.  Oh, wait, he remembered, he was talking to Jake at work.  Of course! Let me tell you, if Jake were a girl, I would seriously be worried. 

7.  My nephew Evan is a funny little thing.  He has a seat in my car and wouldn’t get in it the other day cause there were too many crumbs.  He came in the garage the other day and saw the shoes that are usually by the door in a huge pile neatly lined up against the wall and he proudly exclaimed, “oh, you cleaned up the shoes for me!”.  I hope he doesn’t refuse to come to my house at some point cause it is too messy for him…it is a true possibility.

8.  In the day time when Autumn starts acting tired I put her in her car seat for a nap.  Sometimes even, if she resists after I put her in the seat, I actually take her seat out to the car in the garage.  She sleeps in seconds.  A car seat for a bed, a car in the garage for a room.  Whatever works. 

9.  And now it is off to bed (I was going to go play our nightly game of UNO but Owen went up to deal the cards and fell asleep before he could do so).  I am still going to bed so that it can be tomorrow and I can roast some carrots and zucchini.
