[lalaloopsy is dumb and i hate her]

know what the worst part of this foster gig is so far? the terrible tv shows that come with it. that's my only real complaint so far. don't get me wrong, i like mickey mouse and scooby doo as much as the next guy, but have you seen some of these other kid shows? our new roommate seems to enjoy tv as torture rather than entertainment. his brand of poison includes disney junior and nickjr. both are terrible. he never wants to watch anything cool like lego: the adventures of clutch powers (which does seem pretty cool) or veggie tales. no--he'd prefer to watch team umizoomi. which is, by all reasonable accounts, terrible.


Entertainment-720-Parks
on the up side, watching a little bit more television means that we are getting a little more settled, less distracted, and able to relax a little bit more. the newness is fading slightly and routines are setting in a bit. as we move forward, routine will be key. the new roommate has many needs and normalcy and structure will help us all.

i haven't seen an episode of parks & rec in two days and i've just about had enough. here (for no reason) is a picture of john-ralphio and tom haverford in the entertainment 720 headquarters and a of bert macklin, fbi agent.

[dr. camplove or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the dumpsterfire]

i should have known at about noon on friday that this weekend might be a "wash". the rain was pounding hard as we made some final purchases before our first camping trip of 2017. i was excited. it's my favorite family activity. but the rain was putting some anxiety in my heart. not to worry--it only lasted about an hour. by the time we got home and were really ready to roll the radar was lookin' good! with a newly cleared up sky we packed up and headed out. full of anticipation and ready to roll, we approached the storage lot. i put in the code and head to the back where our camper was just waiting, nay dreaming, of the moment we'd hook 'er up and haul 'er out. after so many weeks of idle time we turn the corner, and there she was. it took me abooooout .25 seconds to notice that something was wrong as we approached. the propane take cover was sitting cockeyed. like so cockeyed it would be impossible for there to be actual tanks under the cover. indeed th...

(The Power of Positive Self Talk}

Who do you think you talk to the most each day?  Your husband, your kids, coworkers?  Who would've thought that the person you talk to the most is yourself .  Our internal (and let's face it, sometimes external) conversations shift how we view the world and influence every part of our lives- relationships, achievements, attitude and ultimately our level of happiness. When I first Read Whole30 , I'll be honest to say that I was totally turned off by the no scale  rule.  How in the world could I possibly hold myself accountable and judge my level of success (and level of worthiness) without stepping on the scale?!  The Whole30 program focuses on non scale victories (NSV).  Is your skin clearer?  Do your clothes fit better?  Are you getting better sleep?  Do you feel more energized and focused?  Pssshhh.  I told myself over and over that NSV victories are load of hogwash.  They are the consolation prize for not actually l...
