Cause we are living in an Complicated world

And I am a complicated girl.
BPA Free, Organic, Nitrate-Free, No High Corn Fructose Syrup...
My head spins and my brain hurts trying to stay on top of these things and keep my boys healthy.

Someone please pass the aspirin b/c the headache grows as I am very limited to my resources living in a small town.

Wish our town had this...





or this...




and I had some more of this.


This is one of those reasons why I HATE grocery shopping!!!




How do you eat healthy and on a budget?

So Not Cool

I wish you could still blog without a picture. It takes so much time to upload the pics and that is one thing I don't have a lot of these days. So I am going to be uncool for the 1st time in my life (ha!) and blog without a pic.

Summer is on us-hot, sweaty days! The boys and I are having a great time. It took us awhile to get off the school schedule and make a new one. I have got to have a schedule. I am a teacher and that is really the only way I know how to function.

Everyone has been healthy-Yea! Only the minor accidents from Dylan-of course. He is my little dare devil- no fear. He actually has had these bumps on his face for almost 2 weeks. The Dr. thinks its drool, but it is around his eyes and forehead too. I don't think he is drooling up there. I am suspicious of the sunscreen. We have used Water Babies. Any other suggestions for the sensitive skin?

We are about to try cows milk. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of buying formula and I have slowly been introducing the dairy products into our diet again. I am praying this is something we have almost grown out of. At 20 bucks a can every 5 days it is an expensive allergy. MOOOOOve over Soy there's a new Cow in town.

Goals for the summer:
*Clean out closet and get rid of all clothes that will never fit again. It is time.
*Language Lab-The boys really need to be adding more vocabulary to their books. I have read that male twins have language delays and I have been very conscience of this. Not to mention that teaching background. We do communicate non-verbally and in "twin speak." However, Mommy is trying to stress the importance of using verbal language to communicate our needs.
*Could I please, please, please, please lose these last 10 lbs? I go to the gym at least 3 days a week, eat healthy (minus those weak moments with the chocolate chip cookies-dang it!), and it will not budge. I am soooo FRUSTRATED with this post baby bod I could SCREAM. I have lots of leftover skin from the glory days of stretching beyond belief. maybe it weighs 10 lbs????
*Get my garden in order.
*Read more than a magazine. I already have 2 books under my belt.
*Blog more. I have crossed over to the dark side and Facebook a lot. But, I have neglected the blog. I set this goal a lot and always come up short.

Hope I can be back on the So Cool list soon.
