LOG CABIN FEVER!

We ran out of chicken feed this morning-SO, we made the 14 mile trek INTO TOWN to get more. I ran in and got the bag while the 6 littles watched Tinkerbell. Then-dropped a box of HEALTHY CHOCOLATE off to a friend. We haven't been out of the house since SATURDAY! It has been raining since Sunday making it entirely TOO MUDDY to play outside. NO, I DO NOT LET MY KIDS PLAY IN THE MUD-my minuscule brain doesn't even like to think such things

Then to THE DREADED WALLY WORLD! They ALL begged to go in, so in we went. What was I thinking? Just picture THE DYSFUNCTIONAL BRADY BUNCH in your head. That's what people probably thought when they saw us. WHY? I broke all of my "taking my kids out in public rules." Here are the VIOLATIONS-

1. Cowboy boots with sweats (what on earth?)
2. My girls hair not put up to my standards and 1 even had her hair down(gasp)
3. No ones hair combed
4. All in not matching clothes
5. Bit Buts shirt so short his baby muffin top was out...
6. Dried up, crusty boogers on the nose
7. Frosting caked on faces from cinnamon rolls this a.m.

That's just to name a few. They were all very well behaved. I ran into 2 friends-OF COURSE-just what you hope DOESN'T happen when you take your unkempt tribe out.

We looked at the FISH for about 30 minutes and then Wy Wy spotted this...

Ever since Wy Wy and Bit But moved in their big boy room and big boy beds-we have been searching for cute, affordable bedding for their beds. WHICH IS TOUGH because it was already painted as a guest room and the bunk beds are blue. One side has animals on it and the other side is a forest-ADORABLE.

It came with comforter, acorn & animal paw print sheets, pillow case & pillow sham all for $45 a set. CHA CHING! And, it's all made out of organic cotton-BONUS! Plus it DOES have some John Deere Green on it-whoopee!! With a large family-we are ALWAYS looking for a bargain!

Of course they had to JUMP RIGHT IN and try it out.Isn't it SO CUTE???So today I thank God & Wally World for the entertainment, the bedding and THE JOHN DEERE GREEN GOGURTS!

Healthy Chocolate...4 real! UPDATE!

Sounds like an OXYMORON I KNOW!

It's called XOCAI-(pronounced SHO-SY) and THE CAPTAIN and I are starting on it today (actually he'll start Fri. when he flies in). You eat 3 pieces of chocolate a day and before you know it you're as healthy as a horse! Sounds tough huh? Feel sorry for me yet?

My friend J who has adopted a sibling to 3 of my kids down in the south told me about this new product a couple weeks ago while we were chatting. She had run into a friend she hadn't seen in a while and was in AWE at her weight loss. She shared with J that she had been eating "HEALTHY CHOCOLATE." I will admit, I thought it was a JOKE!

J is a super smart gal-you can't pull the wool over her eyes. She offered to send The Captain and I some samples. She also shared that her hubby has lost 10.5 pounds in a six weeks & her energy level increased within a week of starting this healthy chocolate. WHO COULDN'T USE WEIGHT LOSS AND MORE ENERGY?The Captain and I took our samples and were convinced we wanted to give it a try. We got our box in the mail today-a months supply for each of us. The ingredients??? Unsweetened Raw Chocolate, ACAI and blueberries. It's even okay for diabetic people to take.

The health benefits???

• Neutralizes free radicals in the body
• Curbs appetite, promoting weight loss
• Stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure
• Raises serotonin and dopamine levels which acts as an anti-depressant
• Acts as an anti-inflammatory
• Decreases blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol levels
• Soothes the nervous system
• Stops the insulin resistance that leads to diabetes

Some people have been able to stop taking their allergy meds (like Claritin and allergy shots) because after eating the chocolate, they no longer had allergy issue-I'm hoping for this!

I will keep you all updated on everything going on as I journal about our new HEALTHY CHOCOLATE! Go ahead...GOOGLE IT! I did and didn't find anything bad or unhealthy at all.

I mean if I can have YET ANOTHER EXCUSE TO EAT CHOCOLATE...LIKE DUH?? WHY NOT?

UPDATE-IT IS SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN & YOU CAN ONLY BUY IT THROUGH A DISTRIBUTOR-not at ANY health food store!
