I am exhausted anyway from newborn nursing, but the sugar is not helping my moods any I am sure...so I am left with this thought...what do you eat? I mean, when you're in a hurry and need a snack and can't slave over salad fixings or a three course meal? I assume you don't eat cereal (my other downfall.) Do you not eat fruit either?HAPPYHANERHOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554119693424274660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-9017210380232545832010-07-14T08:16:53.049-07:002010-07-14T08:16:53.049-07:00You my friend tackled the last 41 days with fury! ...You my friend tackled the last 41 days with fury!
