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.
- Seriously, if you were at BlogHer, would you pay a buck for a postcard along the lines of the teeshirt I’m getting Isobel? Seriously? Should we get on that?
- 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:
Probably just as moody:
- Decisions Made. Eyebrows Raised. Yeah, my willpower/resolution/whatever you wanna call it totally wore off. JDawg will be moving back in, in a week. I...
- All Over The Place My camera battery is taking forever to load, so even though tonight’s post was planned to be a meme, since...

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.

Good Luck on your savings plan! A penny earned is a penny saved??
Well more like lots of dollars!
You totally rock the hair! Glad your no longer with someone who would be so disrespectful, and cruel in front of your daughter. You do deserve so much more than that out of life. (Hugs)Indigo

Good for you for slowing down on the cig intake. And the a**hole who says that about you needs to be beaten. Hard.

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?

You make it, I’ll buy it.
Lou: I’m going to print that out and it on my front door, bathroom mirror and fridge. Yup. I need reminders, constantly. No, seriously, though, I know to aim at least away from a future of AA refusal.
Indigo: Thanks!
Jeremy: Thanks for the laid-back, cool feedback. I’ve seriously gotta try that, the finding someone fun and ‘the rest will come’ part.
OH: She knows it’s about ‘I hate Christmas,’ then ‘ooooh the spirits!’ then ‘aw, Barbie’s sad for Christmas…’ to ‘Yeah, happy Christmas!’
And don’t worry, I won’t not tell the family about leaving Isobel with friends. It’s actually already been suggested, though at that end of a fight, and more of a, “if you don’t get your shit together then…” Sigh. Tough place, like you said.
Angie: A postcard or a website?
I saw your new pictures on Flickr..and I love the new color.. love it.. and kick the asstard that said that to you ..and said it in front of baby girl.. is just a dick. sorry. and to quote the fab Maria.. .. i’m just saying..
