When the Going gets Rough...

I have a dangerous vice: It's a combination of emotional eater and emotional shopper.  Throw a bad day together, and it's almost guaranteed that I am plopped on my couch, Internet shopping with a pizza on it's way, and a Dairy Queen in my hands.  Oh wait.. that just happened yesterday.  Kevin has probably lost count the number of times that I have shot out a desperate 5pm email that reads, "Pick up pizza, and you better get me chocolate if you want to survive the night."  Love notes, I like to get them, and I like to give them. 

Yes, I'm surprised that at this point, with four children that I'm not filing for bankruptcy in my fat pants.  But somehow I guess there have been more good days than bad, and a treadmill in the basement that gives me guilty looks if it is not used every couple of days.  So even though I am currently licking my lips from finishing off my Pecan Cluster Turtle blizzard, with added chocolate chips because it just wasn't chocolaty enough for me (rough day at Meijer with kids, people).. I'm trying to remind myself that life is good, and the bad days (or moments) will probably be followed by some great ones.  At least I hope.  For now I'm just going to stay away from the grocery store for a few days, and try to hide the chocolate chips.  That should allow me to fit into the new jeans that I just bought.

  1. I always add extra chocolate to my blizzards too! You are not alone! Be careful in those new pants though... I think Gap will only let you return once for a split seat ; )
