Giving up Fast Food

Tonight, I decided to give up Fast Food for a period of one year. I keep going back and forth over whether Starbucks is fast food? Tamer says it is. Zaid says that if eat salad at fast food restaurants then it is okay, but I detest fast food salads, they are always YUCKY! Old lettuce, anyone? No, thank you!
I went to Wendy's and got a large fry and Zaid wanted chicken nuggets so, we ordered the meal, and so they gave me this massive Dr. Pepper, which I promptly tapped.

Also, no more soda. It is not like I am addicted to fast food or soda, I do not go there every day, but I just want to see if I can do it, if I can make more healthy choices.

I will miss Dr. Peppers and Starbucks....and french fries......and coffee from McDonalds, but I will not miss all of the calories.

I am giving myself one treat, one happy hour drink at Sonic once a week. That's it.

Zaid went to the optometrist today, he said everything was great. Zaid is a little far-sided, but not anything to be concerned about. Zaid did his, I ask a gazillion questions and I am adorable routine. It got him a prize, a pencil, 2 erasers, 2 stickers and some black glasses. And everyone telling him bye. How cute is he? :-) Very.

Who am I

"...what You have done." "...you catch me when I am falling." "...I am Yours."

Instead of Superman, we have Batman. I consider it to be one of the greatest privileges in life to be a Mommy. I hope I never take this amazing job for granted.

Five Years Old and Technology

Tonight, Zaid wanted Tamer to download some songs on his MP3 player. This MP3 player was given to Tamer from his Mom, and it has been sitting in the back of the car since Thanksgiving! :-) I do not have an MP3 player, I listened to one song on my niece's one time, but that is about it, with music I could either take it or leave it. I like some songs, but most songs I only hear the melody not the words, even as a child, I never heard the words only the music. So most of what my friends where hearing, I was hearing something different. I digress.

Wow! I can not believe it! Zaid was listening to Black Horse and a Cherry Tree, he was dancing and singing. It was so cute! Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh......... He had a hard time putting it away to go to sleep. He is growing up so fast. He was telling me tonight about how he is going to be six soon. He talked about how it was creeping, creeping up on us, him being six.

I do not like the number six if you did not know. It did not dawn on me until just now, that Zaid is going to be six. I do not like thirteen either. I do not like three because when you multiply it by two it is six. When I wake up, I will not get up until the minutes are whole numbers or multiplies of five.

Snow

Where is the snow? This is from last year, right about this time actually. We made snowmen and snow cream and snow angels. I loved Zaid walking through the snow and when he balanced on our flower bed. He was learning how to walk on a balance beam.
