Dairy and other random thoughts ...

This is my TMI (that means "too much info" Ma!)warning ...

So I changed the blog background again ... I love the one that Stacy has, oh and Shana's too ... I am just not nerdy enough to download it or do whatever you have to do ... so I am going with blue for the moment.

Just home from a rockin' run-walk-pick-up-cheerios-pick-up-blankey-run-pick-up-blankey-again-stop-at-safeway-to-pee-walk-run- ... All in all it totaled 5.05, said my nice lady in my ipod, so for that I am proud. I love how I feel after an awesome work out ... my body is sweaty and I feel fabulous, I feel renewed and full of strength.

My latest Starbucks kick was the new Pumpkin Spice soy latte ... until I asked what the syrup was and the 1st freakin' ingredient is DAIRY! LAME! DUMB! STUPID FREAKIN' DAIRY! Awwwww, I was super dooper bummed ... no wonder my tummy was a' grumblin' ... DAIRY SUCKS! It is in everything ... If only dairy was supposed to be consumed by humans ... as in the milk in my boobies is meant for my babies, the same goes for a cow and all other mammals ... I wouldn't give my milk to another mammal for consumption ... and the process by which it all happens is freakin' horrific! Mommy cows have to have babies for milk to be made, and those babies are stripped from their mommies and sold to veal farmers ... the research about all of it is just so disgusting and sad. Most dairy cows have diseased utters from the over production of milk and that's why all the hormones and crap have to be added to milk to make it alright for humans to have it ... this goes for cheese, yogurt and anything and almost everything that has milk ... people that have milk allergies quickly realize how millk and it's sick ass byproducts are in everything ... whew, I am on a roll ...

So, I am ticked to say the least that my yummy Pumpkin Spice latte has some yucky milk byproduct in it. I need a rockin' coffee maker like Jen or Stacy ... then I can create my own yummy milk-free creations ... Oh, Santa ...

Matthew went to school sick today, he has a really yucky cough ... my kids are cough-till-you-barfers ... which I know I've said before ... I am awaiting a call from his school, Mother of the Year, I am.

I am going to start working more at the Y. I'll be directing their afterschool program (again), worth it for the extra grand a month. I can have both kids with me while I am working, a.k.a. playing ... and I think I've convinced the school district that Matthew's after school drop off can be just up the street at the Y. Nice. I'll still have my mornings with Grace, my Mom's group at church ... and pickin' up some extra money. Awesome.

Thank you Jesus for today, for the blue skies, my blue blog, my sassy and compassionate heart regarding animals and their welfare, my children, my fabulous husband, our adorable yellow house, my job at the YMCA, the bathroom at Safeway and the baked potato and green beans I just ate for lunch. You meet my needs in endless ways Jesus and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Amen.
