ugh.

That seems to be an awful lot of my post titles...ha!

So I was remembering as I got frustrated at myself that I am NOT on a diet.  How is it that I keep forgetting this?!  I have this cool calorie tracker on my phone, so I thought I would use it.  The problem with that is that is tells me how many calories I should have each day.  I'm really not okay with their number, but when I go over it turns all red and makes me hyperventilate.  Seriously.  I'm not sure how to eat healthy without worrying about the calorie thing.  And really, when I tell myself I am going to eat healthy, all I want to do is eat cake.  And I don't even eat cake that often normally!  It is just that teenager that is coming out in full rebellion against "rules".  So last night I made a chocolate pound cake with whole wheat.  That has to be better than refined flour right?  It tastes great...so good that we all had it for breakfast.  :)  I could never be one of those super buff women with ripped abs and no body fat.  I don't think they get to eat anything by celery and carrots.  I would like to have ripped abs though...how cool would that be!  I have decided, though, that I love to bake for other people.  When I am eating better, I don't do that as often...and that steals some joy.  So I made a cake for some friends...which prompted my children to beg for one of their own.  HA!  It kind of backfired...but it really is all about the challenge of making someone smile because of something I made for them...not about getting to eat whatever I'm making myself.  In fact, more often than not, I won't even have more than one serving of what I bake.  Unless it is sugar cookies.  Then I have to beg someone to hide them from me.

All that to get to what I REALLY wanted to post about.  I sent the girls to take a bath and Ellie came to me in her sweet pjs and wet hair to climb into my lap, and WHOA!!  She found Gracie's body spray.  And poured most of the bottle onto her skin.  I now have a migraine threatening and she had to rewash...
