Vegetarian? Oh Look! Bacon!!!

"That's no Fun" or "That sucks".
     The common response i've got when telling my friends and family that i have decided to become a vegetarian. This has been a long and hard decision to make. Even with the mixed "Good for you"'s and "better you than me"'s I've made a firm choice and plan to stick to it.
     This has nothing to do with saving the cows or the inhuman treatment of pigs. This is me trying to be heathy. I've allergic to more things than i care to remember. All the chemical's in meat, the so called 'fillers' don't like me much or i should say, my body doesn't like them. Being sick all the time or not feeling well because of the meat i ate was starting to get old and the enjoyment of eating meat was beginning to be out weighed by the day or two of feeling icky that would follow.
     I haven't gone full vegetarian yet. I am still working on cutting dairy and eggs out of my diet. Once i find a suitable replacement for protein, something else to put in my coffee and a cheese replacement, then i will be good to go.
     I never realized that eating a bunch of raw veggies could keep me as full as it does. I find my self eating much less and i stay fuller longer. The same is not true when i saute' or roast the veggies. Mushrooms, wheat germ, bell peppers and parshnip make a great breakfast saute'. I currently scramble eggs into that a few times a week but i am cutting that down.
     I'm trying out lots of great veggie saute's for lunch and dinner that even my hubby likes! (that's saying a lot coming from a man that didn't eat veggies when we first got married) So, I'll find some super yummy Veggie Saute' and let y'all know about it and how to do it.
   

Getting Tired of The Same Old Thing.

Lately I seem to be stuck in a rut. I want to have a nice house. Clean and tidy. However, I can't seem to get a grip on thinks. No matter how much I clean, organize, or consolidate the house explodes into a mess with in a day. 


Is it me not being consistent or is it that I'm the only one not contributing to the mess? At this point it doesn't really matter. I am just Sick of it. I am tired of cleaning and working my butt off with no hope of my efforts sticking around for any length of time. I am just plain sick of cleaning. 


I've even begun to neglect making dinner. One, because I know that the whole of the mess from dinner will stay there until I go to clean it. Two, because I feel as if no one wants to eat what I make. Every one has become picky and I guess it's my fault that I've begun to cater to their every need. This however, leaves me feeling useless and hurt, not to mention that dinner is based on what every one else wants and my wants get pushed aside. 


Now this is the way I feel. Maybe it's all in my head and maybe it's real. I can't be the only stay at home mom that feels this. I see some women who's houses are or at least seem to be clean all the time. How do they do it? I'm exhausted of running my never ending errands. 


I'm taking a lazy spell... and have no idea how long it will last. Just sticking to the minimal amount that will keep this house functional. 

New to the Blogging world.

New to the blogging world. I've been thinking of doing it for some time but was hesitant. Who would really care what i have to say? Then i though... i don't care if any one reads it or if any one really cares what i have to say. I want to get what's in my head down in writing. There have been so many times that i've had things i've wanted to say or thoughts i've wanted to express but didn't know who to turn to or what the reaction would be. I feel Blogging would be a great way to express those feeling and say those things with out the worry of an initial reaction. So, that's all i have to say right now. Be back soon when the mind is working and the mouth isn't.
