I want to give a shout out to Amanda @ RunningwithSpoons for the link up.

Its #thinkingoutloud Thursday!

Update on Hand, Foot and Mouth = We are officially in the clear.  Thank you baby Jesus, because I was certainly looking like a leper for a while and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.  What is so crazy is that Ryan's case was so, so mild and I was an extreme. Lets hope that doesn't happen again any time soon.

Dessert Heaven

Hello, my name is Sherri and I am an addict.  I am addicted to grubbing out and satisfying my sweet (sometimes salty) tooth on the couch watching reality TV after I workout at night.  

Everything I read says that you should "go to bed hungry" or no snacks after dinner.  Yada, yada, yada.  But the people who made these "healthy rules" up have never met me.  They don't understand my dire need to satisfy my hungry belly after a workout, especially if that craving is for something sweet.  Hello, that time of the  month???  You don't stop a woman from having that indulgence during that time frame. 

Good news is that I have found a way to satisfy my craving in a healthier way.  Gone are the days of eating sugary ice cream or miniature Snickers bars.  I have found something better.

Meet my new best friends:

Weekend Recap | Adults get Hand, Foot, Mouth too... trust me.

Happy Monday!  I am linking up with Katie for my weekend recap!

I have absolutely zero pictures from this weekend...zero.  Want to know why?  Because, Ryan AND I have the good ole Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease.  Yes, you read right.  I have it too!

Thanks to the perks of daycare, Ryan started having cold like symptoms early in the weekend and then some red bumps on his rear. By Sunday, I had rash ALL OVER MY ENTIRE BODY.  I freaked, thought it was an allergic reaction to something and immediately ran to Urgent Care where they took one glance at me and said "Hand, Foot, Mouth."

I laughed, said "How in the world did I get that," and the doc quickly confirmed..."Your son."  Ryan wasn't showing extreme signs and his rear looked like an early diaper rashy stage.  Nope, he too had HFM.  By the end of the day yesterday, his face started breaking out into rash too.

Great, just great.  What is funny is the fact that I, the adult, have an extreme case and my toddler doesn't. No fever, no blisters, etc.  (I say that and then I will jinx myself.)

See why I didn't take any pictures??

Weekend Recap | Mama Sherri

Somebody please tell me why my toddler thinks it is okay to call me "Mama Sherri" now? And, don't you dare correct him or he will start screaming it with pride.

Last night, he paraded around our house yelling "Mama Sherri" just beaming, knowing darn good and well what he was doing, and not caring at all about it. Oh, the adventures of the terrific twos/terrible twos/tenacious twos.

In other news, we did have a great weekend over here, even if it was a bit chilly.  My mother and sister came into town for a girls weekend, although Ryan did join us in a lot of our adventures.

Weekend Recap | Already broke my resolution

Is it sad that I already broke one of my New Year's resolutions?  I think so.  

The whole " I am going to do a more consistent job at blogging" thing I spoke about on my last post definitely didn't happen last week.  Obviously.  I could pretend that it was because I was busy coming up with great ideas for posts or that I did something extremely fun.  But, I would be lying.

In reality, I was busy working.  Since I work a full-time job during business hours, it is very hard to come home after a day of work to cook, clean, take care of Ryan, workout, and then blog.  Sometimes I do great, while others are a complete dud.  Last week was a dud week.  Shoot, yesterday was a dud day.  Last week and yesterday were filled with meetings after meetings after meetings, so I came home drained and needed to unplug.

What did I do while I was unplugged?  Not too much, although we did take Ryan to his very first birthday party he was invited to and drove down to Myrtle Beach for some outlet shopping fun.
