Finally my head feels kinda normal again!  For the first time in three days I don’t have a long, screaming metal/80’s hair band guitar solo playing between my ears.  What a joy it is to feel nothing between your ears!  That is different, of course than having nothing between your ears.

So far so good with the no sugar, caffeine and alcohol.  I haven’t cheated once!  Although I have been eating waaaaay too many cashews for some reason.  I miss ice cream the most.  Of course, if you’ve read a few of my blog entries, that comes as no surprise.  Mmmmm…ice cream.

Sorry, I went to my happy place there for a minute.  I was just imagining the taste of a bite of Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby or Oatmeal Cookie….mmmmm.  Oh, who am I kidding?  Any ice cream will do!  I am definitely NOT an ice cream snob.  Anywhooo. Enough about that.  No sense obsessing on ice cream when your fat pants are getting tight and you feel like crap every day.  It’s time to take action!  Mommies Against Muu-Muus!  Hey, wait.  That would solve the problem with the fat pants, wouldn’t it?

Ok, so my body is adjusting somewhat.  I still have a GINORMOUS headache that Advil can’t even TOUCH and I’m still tired even though I slept 9 hours last night.  Nine HOURS!!  Holy crap!  Why can’t I do that on a normal night?  Oh, hey…maybe it’s because of all the crap I’ve been putting in my body.  Huh.  There’s a thought.  Anyway…it still sucks but it’s sucking less as time goes by.  I just need to remember not to make any life-altering decisions before I’m fully detoxed!  That would be bad.

The Tater Tot has been sick again.  Not as sick as last time but she has a snorky nose.  No fever.  So really, that’s just a runny nose, I guess.  No major drama there.  Her new thing is pulling up to a stand.  In the pack n play, in her crib, on the furniture, using my hands to help, on her new Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Table (that she loves!)  Thank God she doesn’t want to go anywhere yet…

This sucks.  It’s no fun at all.  None. Zip.  Zilch.  I have a headache and I’m tired.  Blech.  No coffee to wake me up, sugar as a pick me up in the afternoon, glass of wine to relax after The Tot goes to bed, or ice cream to wallow in when I’m so tired I can’t see straight. 

I know that I’ll feel better in a few days because I’ve done this before but GAK!  Those few days are no fun!

I hope that all of you out there are having a better start to the year than I am!

Happy New Year!  I have a headache.  No, it’s not from over-imbibing or late-night reveling.  It’s from my new New Year’s resolution: no caffeine, sugar, refined carbs…you know, the good stuff!  For years I was caffeine, sugar, and refined-carb free but when I got pregnant that ALL changed!  Ice cream was a daily ”treat” and, while I still ate pretty well, I allowed myself treats that I hadn’t even seen in years.

When The Princess was born, it got worse.  Now it has hit critical mass (and so have I!)  So, here we go!  Weeeeeeeee!  Hang on, it could be a bumpy ride!
