Sweets!

I have had a sweet tooth from heck the last few days.  I blame my uterus.
Cause why not?! 
Anyway, I  have been trying to feed the sugar-craving monkey on my back while still keeping with my wheat free diet, as i don't want to end up in excruciating pain... like you do.


So, I tried 2 recipes today.  The first was for Vanilla refrigerator candy, and was banging. I don't have a lot of Swerve in my house, so I used KAL stevia, and it was delightful.

The second was a pumpkin ice cream recipe.  I am searching for a link, but i think my computer might have gotten hungry and ate it up.

Here's what i did:

1/2 c pumpkin (I had an open can in the fridge.  I used the rest)
1 frozen banana
1 splash of coconut milk
1 drizzle maple syrup
2 shakes pumpkin pie spice

Spin that in the Ninja cup

devour shamelessly with a spoon (I did share with my kids... promise.)

I'm thinking of making some kind of spin on the Refrigerator candy with pumpkin... I'm on a pumpkin kick.  I think my friend BBQ said it best, "Of course you're on a pumpkin kick...cause it's fall and you're a white girl."

Well said, BBQ... well said.

This might get graphic...

Guys, yesterday was a bad day. Not very many of you knew it, but I was scheduled for a uterine ablation. I was excited at the prospect of not having a period anymore. (Yes, I'm talking about periods. Gross. Moving on.)  They have gotten pretty rough, not letting me do a 90 minute swim without having to stop and change my tampon. I am crampy and uncomfortable the majority of the month. This , among other things, is less than convenient. So, yeah, I was looking forward to surgery. My husband brings me into the surgery center, I get prepped, they take me back, I go night night. I wake up... "We were unable to complete the procedure" No one was willing to go into too many details, as I was coming out of general anesthesia, and still kind of in and out. I remember talking briefly with the doc, but no one else. A nurse came to take me to recovery. She got me into the big chair in the recovery room. I began to cry. She covered me up, and held me while I ugly cried. She han...

Graduation.

My first weekend as a stay at home mommy wasn't filled with cleaning as I imagined. Sure, I did the everyday stuff... Dishes, laundry. I also got the kids together for my baby brother's graduation party. He's 11 years younger than I, and he just graduated from highschool last month. I couldn't be more proud of him! It was pretty neat being kind of a second mom to him growing up. He taught me a lot about the way kids work. We shared a room for the first 5 years of his life and he was always at my heels. Whenever I was studying for a test he was there next to me, asking questions about the text I had my nose in that day. He was the first kid I babysat for on a regular basis. Playing video games with him taught me to let the little guy win every now and again... Eventually. This was after I would mercilessly beat the crap out of his character. He has never let me forget it, and always asks if I want to play whatever new game he has just acquired and mastered. Today ...

Yeah...

The idea of writing was a good one while Matt was away... however, a little ambitious.  I have some absolutely wonderful people in my life that kept my mind occupied and the two weeks went relatively fast, once the kids were over being sick. Most nights I knitted on the couch until I was falling asleep.  I did manage to finish 7-9 bibs for miss Z.  Only takes me about a day to knock one out!
