Just finished ordering my Colon Blow for my beginning of the year detox. I know, I know … yes, I am breastfeeding. The program is 3 doses taking one dose every 10 days. I’ll have enough milk in the freezer to cover the time it takes the colon blow to leave my system. The baby is down to breastmilk only two times a day now and on formula 3 times a day and I’ll be pumping to keep my supply.
Aunt Flo has left the building and Sianna is back to being her normal self (and the difference was?? ). I took her clothes shopping last night to get her some jeans and darker colored pants and shorts because all she has in her wardrobe are mostly white and beige items.
Chris and I will be heading off to Kinko’s to take our passport photo. We were told that we needed a passport for the Vancouver trip in March. As I remembered, you didn’t need one for Canada, but apparently you do now. Either way, we need one for Japan next October.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have major baking to do for Thanksgiving … this years orders is not so big … just 10 pumpkin crunch pies, 42 cream cheese pies, and 3 NY style cheesecakes.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

The road to womanhood …
As most of you have guessed by now from my attempt at writing a haiku, that Sianna has started her period. The past few months showed signs of it but I didn’t think it was going to happen until she reached the 7th or 8th grade. Heck, she’s just 3 months younger than I was when I first started mine. I had just turned 12 and was in the middle of the 7th grade. Se’s in the middle of her 6th grade year. Out of her little clique of 6 at school, she is the second to the last of her friends to have it, and let me tell you … life has been a bitch in my home (and it’s only been 3 days now).
The poor thing though. She was cramping really bad the past two days so I gave her some of my Midol. We’ve had the “talk” several times and I felt that we needed to refresh some of the conversations we had over the years about the topic. Chris has been NO help whatsoever. I’m part to blame as well. She’s easily irritated and we kinda made things worse yesterday …hey, it was all in good fun to make her smile. After all was said and done, I gave her a hug and a kiss on her forehead. After all, she’s my baby girl no matter what. I also reminded her that she has another 40 more years of the crap!
