#12 - Mom Life

So, my lofty goal of blogging everyday  has already fallen behind (whoops)! We have been busy with fighting the winter "crazies" in our house because it's totally hard to go outside and run off all that energy.

So far this week Zion has managed to:
- learned to pull bar stools & climb to the top shelves of....bookshelf & cabinets (that contain Medicine in them)
- broken 3 dvds
- opened & left the freezer open for hours only for me to come back & see everything snowed on (frosted)
- climbed on top of his desk in his room to pull down everything I had organized & “out of his reach”
- tried to “clean” his fish by emptying an entire box of wipes into the fish tank
- “colored” my bathroom tile by emptying an entire bottle of red bath foaming soap
- eaten half of an entire bag of Juice Plus+ fruit gummies before I ever even realized he was awake (those next FIVE diapers were fun!)
- woken up every single night between the hours of 2am & 5am
- “put on makeup like mommy” & polka dotted his face with my mascara
- poured out an entire bottle of Stress Away essential oil (ironic eh?)
- and now, just because he’s a boy with energy, is making laps around the kitchen & living room making sure to throw everything he finds in his path, onto the floor.
- Officially killed his fish by putting his essential oil blend for sleep that I made him inside the tank with the fish. (Mind you, in 3.5 years, this is the first time he’s remotely put anything inside the tank.)
- (after I removed dead fish & put him down for his nap) - put sunscreen, essential oils & the lid to the tank into the fish tank. I think Marlin won out on ways to die because going to sleep sounds a lot better than death by sunscreen. 😫😭
I’m officially done with this week. ✌🏼😭😫
All this while having a fever half the time.
My emotions this week: 😫🙈🤣😂🍷😫💖😭🤬😡😳🍷✌🏼😭🤣🍷🤬😳😂🙈🍷😴
PS....he’s an angel child for the most part. He’s just kept me very busy, very tired & very much on my toes this week. You can laugh.

I stuck to our meal plan and although I don't have pictures, I can tell you that it was all delicious! Today, since it's just me and Zion at home, I'm going to make the Vegetarian Collard Wraps and I couldn't be more excited!! I'm also going to try my hand at this Garlic and Herb Monkey "Bread" that looks delicious. I'll try to make sure and blog those for ya!!

I'm currently in the biggest stall I've had thus far in my journey. I've been stuck with the scale moving up one pound, down one pound since Thanksgiving and to be honest, it's getting old. I'm going to up my water and decrease my dairy and increase movement to see if that helps move the scale this week!

What about you guys? How are you doing with your meals? Have you lost any weight (if that was your goal)?
