What is it about this product that has such a hold on me? Prior to Kayden, I was doing so good. No caffeine but even better, no carbonation. Also mixed in there was no fried foods. By my standards, I was doing REALLY well. Along comes Kayden and it all went out the door. Nearly 4 years later and I'm still battling my love of DP.

About 3 weeks ago I decided to give it up (shiver) - cold turkey. Surprisingly, it's not as hard as I thought it would be, but sometimes I just feel the need for a DP. Or, a DP is just necessary to round out the meal, but alas, I cannot.

Today, I fell off the bandwagon. (Hello, my name is Leslie Anderson and I'm a DP-aholic). It was a valid reason though (a headache that wouldn't go away even with 3 Advil, which I usually don't take, and I needed to function for work) and now I am once again on the bandwagon. But let me tell you, today's DP was HEAVENLY. I have no idea why it draws me in and calls to me, but it does. As Todd puts it, it's the nectar of the gods.....and it's oh so good. Those 23 flavors are deeeeelightful.

It's official

It's official: Kayden will be starting pre-school in the Fall. I'm excited and sad at the same time. It's exciting that he'll finally be attending something that provides him formal learning, structure, and socialization. I'm sad though that he's old enough to be in pre-school. He turns 4 in September and I just can't believe it. Time has flown by. I can remember going to the hospital to have my c-section and then seeing him for the first time, like it was yesterday. Well, it's good. I just have to keep telling myself that, plus, I think he's somewhat excited about going to school. We'll see how much he likes it once he's actually in it. His tune may change.

Now that's hot!

We went out this morning to run errands. It was about 1015a or 1030a. Okay, not all that late in the day or anything but it was sweltering! I know it's Texas and it's June, but it was nearly unbearable. As the day progressed, of course, it only got worse. Apparently, we'll need some time in the water this summer. It's a good thing we enrolled both boys in swim lessons - they start next week. Bryce has no idea what he's in for.....hope it goes well. Or perhaps, maybe I have no idea what I'm in for.
