LOVE THE THERAPIST!
Yay!
Steph, my parent's were crazy permissive about food. (Or really, I was super stubborn and wore them down.) And I still have lots of issues with eating well. I sometimes wish my parents had been stricter to give me some self discipline.
Glad to hear it msbelle. The stars are just lining themselves up for this move, aren't they?
chocolate milk was special, white bread was ordinary. dessert was sporadic, I think. I may not remember the dessert because I was never a big sweets eater. Threatening me with no dessert wasn't a problem.
My mom doesn't like baking. She doesn't really like any recipe where she has to follow the rules. When I was in kindergarten and my mom was in the hospital, my aunt came to stay with us for a while. My aunt asked my mom for suggestions for special activities to do with us, and my mom suggested art projects or baking. My aunt loves to bake, so she chose that. She told me that we were going to bake cookies and asked me where we kept the flour. I had no idea what she was talking about. The only baking I'd done with my mom was from a mix.
The one time I remember my mother trying to bake anything was a zucchini cake in the shape of a dinosaur, which some healthy kids cookbook said was a great way to get kids to eat more vegetables. She'd just gotten a new food processor and was using that to shred the zucchini. Halfway through, the top flew off the food processor, and shredded zucchini sprayed all over the kitchen, including on the ceiling.
My dad eats like crap and will buy Hershey's syrup and Wonder Breadish stuff by choice, so I think it was my mom choosing her battles. We were also eating yogurt and granola when that still got you looked at funny.
They seem to be Burrell. AFter all the progress this week, I fully expect to be the Queen of Impatientville for the next 3 months.

Try bringing pâté sandwiches to school.
I'm guessing you'll also be Queen of Productiveville.
Well, the movers come Monday to haul things off to storage. After that, there won't be a ton to be doing. Some touch up painting, getting the building to replace some windows, maybe start packing a few boxes, but really at the house not much.
Now at work I need to really get serious about documenting practices and get organized before I have to tell my boss that I'm leaving. And there is the whole thing of our office moving in 2 weeks.
