Monday Morning Musings - Got Milk?


OK, ya know how last Friday I did a post about my 500th post? Well, it was late when I did it so I was in a hurry, and then I got all ready for bed and got in bed and while I was lying there, I was thinking. And I thought, I think I just made the title of my post, "Well, That Was Anti-Weather". But I was too tired to get up and look. See I had this feeling that I said it was Anti-climatic instead of anti-climactic. So, I woke up Saturday morning and sure enough, there it was. My anti-weather post. I looked up anti-climatic and there is a definition for it in the Urban Dictionary that is the same as anti-climactic in a for real dictionary. And there are plenty of references on Google to people using anti-climatic in the same way I did. The problem is, I don't know how stupid those people are. So therefore I am changing the title on that post to read correctly.


Speaking of anti-weather, HELLO! Why is it SNOWING!?!?!?!?


We have been sick around here for 4 weeks. FOUR WEEKS! But thankfully I woke up Saturday feelin' mighty fine. YES! I was so excited all day because I wasn't sick anymore. None of my kids are sick either, except Addy who has the terrible hacking cough we all have experienced. Like I said, I was so happy all day Saturday because I thought we were finally on the downhill slide. That was until Zac woke me up in the middle of the night Saturday because he had thrown up all over his bathroom. And when I say all over, I really mean ALL OVER. Poor boy. I was freakin' out 'cause I knew we were all all going to get sick and start puking our guts out too. But so far we have all held, and Zac has not been a repeat offender. KNOCK ON WOOD! knock.


Ya know how I stopped drinking milk? I think it has been well over a year now since I did. And I don't even eat ice cream anymore. I really don't. Now that I have been off of milk for so long, I get so sick when I drink it or eat ice cream. The thought of drinking milk makes me want to wretch. So way back when, I bought a huge honkin' bottle of calcium pills to take. I have taken like, maybe 5 of them. I just, I don't know, I just don't take 'em. So being that I was sick for so long, I started thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder if a calcium deficiency could lead to a weakened immune system?" So I looked it up. Uhhh, yeah. A calcium deficiency can lead to a lot of problems, all of which I seemed to be experiencing. Including a weakened immune system. I was reading all the problems that can result in a lack of calcium. Really, I was like, yep, yep, yep, got that one too. ARGHHHH! So I went out that day and bought caramel calcium chews because I thought those would be a little easier for me to want to take. I feel like such an idiot. Like they don't teach you in elementary school the importance of calcium. DUH!


Why is it that I can't buy bananas without Addison peeling every single one of them? Seriously. She thinks it's a game.

I drink milk and take calcium, so I wonder if there is harm in too much? Maybe if I quit milk I would not eat ice cream anymore either. That would help my waistline tremendously. My kids really like to peel bananas too, but won't eat them.

I don't drink milk anymore, either. I have also worried about calcium deficiency. Apparently, if you eat deep greens, you'll get more calcium than you would from milk. Of course, you have to get used to eating deep greens, but now you can have your calcium and eat it, too!

I bought some alfalfa leaf powder from the San Francisco Herb Company and have about 1 TBSP a day in my morning shake. Alfalfa is a deep green. It wasn't even expensive.

I can see you shuddering.

Okay so why did you stop drinking milk? Was it by choice or what? Just curious, I'm sure I missed the post way back when because I've been a slacker! :(
