>> First of all? You guys are so my people! If I’m being 100% honest, I wrote yesterday’s post back in February but saved it in drafts because I was nervous to post it. So all the love I got yesterday kind of rocked my world!
>> I had a little meltdown on Monday morning because J asked for a towel after his shower. Let me explain. I washed all the towels on Sunday. When I took my shower Sunday night, I realized I’d forgotten to grab one. So there I was, dripping wet, and I had to run through the house to grab a towel. Whatever, it’s what I had to do. But when he called out for one Monday morning, something snapped. All of a sudden it just bummed me out that all those normal things that he and everyone else always have someone else for (you know, like asking them to grab them a towel), I have only myself to rely on most of the time. Football…it kind of sucks sometimes. (This is me being dramatic–please don’t take this too seriously).
>> I met Carson (one of the football wives) for dinner last night and it was just what this gloomy week needed. It was great to hang out and the food was deeeeeelish! We went to a small hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and oh it was so yum! And I might have gone out with a bang with an ACC (Arroz con Camaron – translation: rice, cheese dip and shrimp). Holy yum, y’all. I say I went out with a bang because…
>>We’re going Paleo. I know. I know. I don’t even recognize us anymore. Suddenly we’re the kind of people who work out and eat right? I mean…what? But in all actuality, J is starting the whole30 today. I plan to follow along. I’d like to see if the elimination of dairy would help with my stomach (as well as the added sugars, etc). So here’s to 30 days of no dairy, legumes, added sugars, grains or alcohol. Well, sort of. J’s doing the whole30. I don’t know if I’m eliminating alcohol. I have football games to tailgate for and my 10 year HS reunion. But…you know.
>> Cam has been a special breed of weird lately. This is how he fell asleep Tuesday night. He was sitting up with his head smashed into my hip. Um? He’s a sweet little boy, but man– he is weird.
I have a solution to the no one to get your towel problem, it's called a kid! I cannot tell you how many times since Little K was able to walk and understand I have asked her to do things for me, with Tyson working at night I would have been running across the house for towels too. Not I just yell for Little K and she's more than happy to help! 🙂
Oh man! I'm not sure I could ever do paleo because cake! Brownies! Cookies! I don't think I could give up sweets!
I think you'll like paleo! I've heard great things about it! Good luck! Love you!
I'm sorry that you had a towel meltdown I imagine it has got to be real tough to not have J around all the time. I like my along time, but that is ALOT of alone time. Really, Paleo? look at you girl. I did my sugar detox thing, but there is no way I'd be able to just give it allllll up! I wish you luck and cant wait to hear about how it goes. Love you <3
Sounds like a great night out midweek & you can never go wrong with mexican food! I can't wait to hear about the whole30, one of my friends was just talking to me about how she wants to start it!
Cats are so weird! Ted sleeps in the craziest positions too. Good luck on going Paleo, can't wait to hear more about it!
I hate football too. haha. I wish I had some football wives to hang out with & maybe go for coffe or lunch with while the game is on.

I have heard so many people talk about how awesome they feel after eliminating dairy from their diets. I have wanted to try Whole30 for awhile….but no alcohol has lost me. I only drink on Saturdays usually…but its football season!!!! And why does cheese have to be so good? So so good. Good luck! I am sure you will rock it!
CAM! That is the funniest picture, love it. I will be curious to follow on your clean eating journey, Lord I need to do that…
I need to do a sugar and carb detox so badly…I eat fairly healthy but I have a murderous sweet tooth. And bread…I could love on bread and only bread, bread for dayyyys. It's terrible. I don't really enjoy most food all that much but bread would work for me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Too many "breads" in one paragraph…sorry. haha.
I just love cats. Endless entertainment.
I know how it feels to meltdown about a seemingly silly thing that actually has bigger meaning. I'm sorry!! Hey but it's good to just let it all out sometimes!
You can totally go Paleo! I was never sure just what Paleo was–is it "just" no dairy, legumes, alcohol, grains, and sugar? If so, I've been Paleo for about a year and didn't know it. 😉 I was on a gut repair diet, so that's just what I called it. I have all kinds of recipes on my blog and have tips for substitutions (like sugar) if you want some help. A common misconception is that if you go healthy you lose things like cookies and and all that yummy stuff, but you don't–you just have to substitute for the right sugar and flour and such. I really bet you end up feeling amazing! 🙂 And way to go–I'll be cheering you on! 😀
Oh man, high school reunions DEFINITELY require MASS amounts of alcohol! haha
Campbell and Jett could be friends. Weirdness attracts, right?
I have meltdowns like that too. All too often, right? I can count, on one hand, the number of times Scott has gotten home from work before me in the last 6 months.
Glad you made a friend!
We all have those little meltdowns sometimes. At least you're brave enough to admit them because if you didn't, they would just fester and build up. And then it wouldn't be a little meltdown; it'd be a big one. Or maybe that's just me? :-/
Never even heard of ACC… I eat ACP {arroz con pollo} all the time. It's my go-to.
