Day 5 Freedom* from Caffeine

Very minor headache today. I suspect next week will be soooooo much better.

On the plus side, I have upped my water consumption which really means I went from drinking a swig of water per day to take my synthroid pill to drinking about 48 ounces (maybe more) a day.

We have FFA shows coming up this weekend and next week. The 12 year old is showing his goat, which will be sold next Friday (hopefully). Sadly, that left the 5 year old's goat, Fat Nannie, all alone in the goat pen and she cried all day yesterday.

Oh, and the 12 year old has offered to "train" me with my workout but says before we start, he needs a whistle, stopwatch, megaphone and . . . a cattle prod.

Are you serious? He really said cattle prod? Good gravy, he's inherited your dark sense of humor hasn't he?! Awesome.

Good luck with the Freedom Fight!!

Hey, if a 12 y/o still wants to do something with you...take them up on it.:)

Why does the goat cry? Misses the other one? I'm sorry, I have seen a goat-once and know nothing about them- Can I borrow one to mow my grass? he he he

Have a great weekend

for years - instead of yelling at kids - I put a wistful look on my face and say - I would LOVE to have a cattle prod right now or one of those collar zappers hooked up to a button - then a make the madly pushing a botton zesture torward them repeatedly with a maniacal look on my face. The kids think this is VERY funny.

I love 12-year-old! ;-) I want to fix him up with my 12-year-old niece...they both seem to be real corkers! :-)

Thanks so much for linking to my post!

Well done on the coffee! It really is worth it in the end!

I must not let my hubby read this post, he's got a tazer! I can just see myself being tazed for not moving quickly enough!

Catching up on your posts and want to congratulate you on being a lower case bitch to grandma B. You don't need any of that s-%t from them....and you are not the b word at all, just taking care of your kids. I'm still reading but congrats on the caffeine. I want to go off it myself but just not right now. Maybe you will inspire me!!!

Cattle prod? LOL. He's a hoot and a half. You're really doing a great job with the caffeine detox program. Keep up the good work.
