My exciting Tuesday

Hello again.  My what an interesting day so far.  First thing this morning I wake up to my bedroom shaking from the vibration of the addition being built on our house.  I thought they were sawing right through and joining me in bed.  8:00 am is too early for a working mom to be awake if she does not have to be...right?  My daughter usually sleeps until 9:30 - 10:00 so why shouldn't I??  Oh well, an ocassional early rise is actually quite enjoyable. 

After my daughter joined me and woke up, I proceeded to change her diaper.  I should have changed her on the changing table upstairs since it was a very messy one, but no I changed her on my nice couch.  She grabbed the soiled diaper and smeared it all over the couch for mommy!!  Oh boy my first poopy disaster!!  Ahhhh motherhood.

I then made my delicious herbalife protein shake and my daughter's breakfast.  Nothing unusual there.  After breakfast I dialed through several calls I had to make for my business.   My daughter plays in the livingroom where I can see her.  She decides to help herself to a snack.  She got into the beach bag on the floor from the weekend, pulled out her container of puffed rice stars, took  the lid off, and spilled the brand new container all over the floor.  It was histerical and of course a kodak moment!!  Gotta love 1yr olds!  She sat in the middle of them on the floor and went to town eating them.  I guess she won't be needing any lunch.
That is up to present in my day so lets see what's to come!!  I am headed to my mom's for dinner to see my sister who is in town from north Jersey.  Talk again soon.

This weekend...

This weekend was fantastic! The hubby, baby and I went over to the in-laws' house for brunch with my brother-in-law and future sister-in-law. I was feeding the baby, and Stacy (future SIL) asked to try to feed her. BB (not her real name - it's Stacy's nickname for her) was happily eating as I fed her. Everything was fine...until Stacy took the spoon. She slowly moved it towards the baby's face, and all of a sudden, BB made the most horrified face I've seen in a long time. Her face scrunched up and she gave Stacy this look like, "I'm sorry, who are you, and why should I trust food from YOU?" Fortunately, we all thought it was hilarious, and after a few more tries, the baby finally gave in and decided she was hungry enough to take food from someone other than Mommy.

After the baby was done eating, the adults got to eat. I'm not sure if you know, but on Herbalife, you only eat one 'real' meal a day. The other meals are Herbalife shakes. (I am loving the chocolate, by the way - I highly recommend it.) Anyway, I usually eat shakes for breakfast and lunch, and save my 'real' meal for dinner. However, this day required an exception. You know when you show up at someone's house and there's amazing food everywhere? That was the situation I found myself in. I very much enjoyed a breakfast of eggs, fresh fruit, and crepes with low-fat ricotta cheese. I was still on the breakfast high as I drank my Herbalife shakes for lunch and dinner.

Oh, and I wanted to mention - when I mix my shakes, I sometimes add frozen strawberries to the chocolate shake. This makes an amazing flavor. It's like eating chocolate covered strawberries but without the monstrous amount of calories.

Also, has anyone tried Herbalife shampoo? I'm looking into buying some but I'd like some reviews before I purchase.
