My brain is too tired to think of a title. So sue me.

Exercising sucks. Period. I woke up this morning and my arms hurt, my legs are made of wood, and my ass is KILLING me. Did I really have that much unused ass muscle? What do your ass muscles do anyway? I can now say I was a lazy ass and mean it literally! (insert bad-joke drum sound here) lol. Needless to say, I skipped the morning workout and substituted it with some yoga and stretches with the plan to go for a jog when the hubby comes home....... I'm regretting the decision already. Why didn't I just get it out of the way? It's now 4:00pm and I'm exhausted already. This is going to suck...hard. Oh well we live and learn.

On another note, well really the same note because he is the reason that I'm always so exhausted! My third child. My (why the hell did I have another kid when I was just getting back down to a desirable weight) third child. I have had 3 C-sections now, I can kiss ever having a stomach that resembles the old one ADIOS! I've gone off topic again. FOCUS!
For those of you who read my blog and know my little Tasmanian devil of a baby, the first thing all of you say is: HE CAN'T BE THAT BAD! HE'S SOOOO ADORABLE! I say mmmm hmmm. That's exactly what he wants you to think right before he reels you in and sucks the life blood right outta you! Ok, maybe not that dramatic. But compared to my first two, he is a temperamental, non stop, stubborn, attitude filled, havoc causing BOY. There isn't a moment's rest with this one. As we speak, he is taking his first nap of the day, (Did I mention he hates naps?) I am typing this blog on my laptop in my walk-in closet; striking the keys as lightly as humanly possible out of fear that I may wake the beast before his time. I officially take back any negative thoughts or words I said about my 2 angelic daughters when they were his age. God, but I love the little bugger.

On to some of my SAHM tips!

Kissimmee Farmer's Market

Organic Lettuce, Cabbage, Brocolli, and Kumquats.

So, yesterday I went out for my first full blown super-uber-dee-duper healthy shopping trip and I was supposed to get the stuff for the homemade laundry detergent.       Well, after the trip for all the veggies, I went way over my budget and decided to leave that mess for next week. Eating healthy is so expensive! As soon as it's spring, I'm expanding my resume to include part-time farmer.

Even though I didn't to the detergent, I did try another laundry tip that I'll share with you. But first, a question: Do you know how fabric softeners work? No? Well neither did I. It works by coating your fabrics in a (known to be toxic) chemical that makes the fibers soft! After repeated use, this chemical builds up in the fabrics and inhibits the fabrics natural ability to absorb water. (And your skin absorbs it instead! yuck!) That's why towels don't dry you off as well after a while, and that's why towels that get that funky musty smell never seem to go back to their prior glory. Here's the trick. Replace your fabric softener with 1 cup of plain old white vinegar! I know what you're thinking.. It's going to make my clothes smell like vinegar.. If you thought this, you'd be WRONG! I tried it and it works! The clothes came out nice and soft and non vinegary smelling. I was told that you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils if you MUST have the flowery smells. Just be sure to add it into the water and not directly on the clothes. If static is a problem, roll up a ball of aluminum foil and toss it into the dryer with your clothes. Voila.
Gotta go get dinner ready for the clan. BYe!
