On Realizations

A few things have occurred to me in the past 24 hours:

  • Somehow, I’ve accidentally only smoked half of what I normally would at this point in the month.
  • If I continue with the budget I’ve set up for myself, which was in fact necessary for the past two weeks since I was the brokeness, I could save up enough by the beginning of July to take someone with me, for free. Not including, like, work-work or advertising revenue. Why the hell didn’t I start doing this sooner?
  • I totally quit NaNo. For now. I might come back to it, in like, May. I wonder what I could call it, then?
  • Buying the Barbie Christmas Carol DVD was not sticking to the budget, but made Isobel really really happy, so I guess I know why the hell I didn’t start doing this sooner.
  • Isobel’s new-found picky eating habit is more than annoying, it makes me really angry and insulted. I don’t feel like cooking anymore, dammit. And she eats virtually nothing now.
  • I am so much better off without someone in my life unnecessarily who would question if I was ‘fucking retarded’ in front of my daughter, who would say I wasn’t worth a well-deserved apology. I am moving on.
  • Which means, like, really moving on. Shaving my legs, maybe with the intention of dating and stuff. (You do know I’ve only ever been on two dates, right?)
  • I have five tutus to make for Xmas pressies, a blanket and about a zillion Xmas photo cards.
  • I need to figure out more inexpensive healthy foods that Isobel will eat – crackers, fruit and yogurt aren’t quite enough, I’m thinking.
  • I already have a few website design clients lined up. And I haven’t even gotten to the guinea pigs, yet. Whoa. This could be awesome.
  • Soy milk is not Isobel’s friend. Rice milk is expensive. Maybe I need to look into alternative calcium/protein sources for her.
  • I could totally love this, with enough concealer, mascara and blush:

  • You should do 365 with me.

    And you are so NOT fucking retarded. Whoever said that is.

  • Did you know that statistics show a mom thinks about 9 random things in one minute!

    Sounds like Iso needs very basic foods since she is not crazy about foods touching each other. So, try just finger foods like carrots, cheese sticks, peanuts (if she is not allergic), noodles. I have D on Lactaid. It is more expensive, but it lasts longer and you can get coupons.

    You are so far from retarded and deserve a man who isn't!
  • gah, don't get me started on the subject of men who badmouth mom in front of the kids.

  • I'm glad to hear you're getting over that jerkface. You deserve so much better. and so does Isobel.

    And fruit, crackers and yogurt is probably doing well - you should maybe try some wholewheat toast with cream cheese? my son loves that. And a supplement milk formula for toddlers? Maybe that will be better than rice milk...

    also, have you tried avocadoes? my kid loves avo and crackers!

  • rice milk is super easy to make

    Rice Milk:

    1 cup hot, cooked rice (white or brown)
    4 cups hot water
    Pinch of salt (optional)
    Sweetener to taste (if desired) use honey, maple syrup, brown sugar... whatevs.
    1 tsp vanilla (if desired)

    Put in blender (in batches if necessary). Process until creamy. Strain. Discard solids.

    Store rice milk in jar in fridge. Shake before using. Keeps 3 - 4 days.

    (and the new hair looks stellar. i like.)

  • Miss: Okay, I know, and no, just an asshat eh?
  • RLM: Lactaid, like the medicine? Isobel isn't actually lactose intolerant - she doesn't drink cow's milk because of the link between ear infections and drinking it. Since I took her off of it four months ago, she hasn't had one - and she used to get one every month to six weeks, before!
  • RLM: I forgot to say, you, too.
  • Janet: Okay, I won't. I have a feeling that we could talk for hours about it.
  • ExMi: She seems to be going through problems with textures, food touching, and how it's presented - and we don't eat bread (well, not anything with wheat gluten in it, that is) - but she will do gluten free bagels with PB. It's just that her eating the same thing, all of the time seems so wrong to me - variety's so important!
  • SAM: Thank you, dollface!
  • The hair is awesome, very chic! Good luck on the budget, I can't seem to stay on one longer than a week. If I do, maybe I can take a trip in July too.

  • You are fierce. Whoever would be stupid enough to call you retarded?

  • Anyone who would be stupid enough to bad mouth you - in front of Isobel or not - doesn't deserve you anyway. He was obviously insecure and threatened by your innate wit and intelligence. You, on the other hand, need to raise your sights, a bit, if you're going to start dating. Tweakers won't do it. Idiots and imbeciles are not for you. You are a gorgeous young woman with a mind to match. You should be looking at matching up with the very best.

  • Dates are good. Go on dates.

    Coral and dated lots... and lots and lots... and then a baby some how ot made. but we still like to go out together sometimes. it is fun and we laugh a lot. so find someone fun... then the rest will come.
  • Did she like the DVD? Lola is having a hard time understanding it.

    I read your post yesterday and in my head I commented. LOL. You are in a tough place. You can't just skip town w/o notifying the fam and leave her with your friend. That wouldn't be so classy, eh?
