Sippin' on gin and Juice...

    Ok, not gin - just juice. And lots of it.
    Sunday officially begins my 14 day juice fast. Yep, you read that right. I'm doing a juice fast and I'm not talking Capri Sun. We're talking real fruit and veggie juice. Freshly... juiced?
     For the past two days I've been replacing random meals with juice to get my body used to its new reality... it's already an interesting experience. While the juice tastes AMAZING (which shocked me) I am soooooo tired. SO tired. Like.. I could pass out and sleep so good I drool... OK, so tired I'm drooling right now but that isn't the point here. The point is... I'm tired.
     I was convinced my biggest issue would be hunger! That I'd be gnawing on my desk just to keep myself occupied... while I'm sure that point will come in the near future.. I'm focusing on staying awake right now.
     So, the official report of pre-fast day 2 is.. I've turned into a narcoleptic.

"Mommy, I need you to cuddle me 'cause I'm sick"

"Honey! I'm home!" That's what the stomach bug said when it came to our house this weekend. Starting Friday Tom has some KILLER  gases coming from his tiny body. I don't see how such a small person can make such a strong smell! Anyhoo, as I was saying, it started Friday. All throughout the day he would let one rip and we would all go running. I didn't think much of it. I just figured it was something he had eaten. We went to a get together at the church for New Years and when it was close to being over one of the teachers came and got me because Tom had had an accident. I got him all cleaned up and still didn't think much of it. He's been known to have stomach issues and I thought this was just that. Saturday was the same. He was gassy pretty much all day and then at night started having problems again. I was getting a little suspicious but not overly concerned. Well, the bug started yelling about 2am on Sunday! Tom came in my room and was running...

"Be careful. He has a concussion"

So the whole Hallanderson family was hanging out last night when I noticed Chase's nose was bleeding. My initial thought was that with this funky weather and all the heaters going his nasal passages were dry. A while later I noticed a bruise on his head.. this made my Mommy Radar go off the scale and all these scenorios started going through my head. "OMG. Chase fell, hit his head, broke his nose and has some internal injury that is slowing messing up his organs." or "OMG! Chase hit his head and now his nose is bleeding! He must have brain trauma! He's slowly becoming mentally damaged and I didn't even notice!" and "OMG! CHASE HAS A CONCUSSION!!!!! HE'S SLOWLY TURNING INTO A VEGETABLE! CALL AN AMBULANCE"  OK.. So I'm extreme.. You get all of me or none of me. ANYHOO! My first thought.. well.. rational thought.. is to check his pupils. So, I got a flashlight and checked them! They were A-OK! My next move was to call the doctor wh...

One. Year. Later.

    How incredibly ironic that I stumbled upon my blog today.. when just a few days ago I posted my "One year later" photos on Facebook.     So, one year later what has happened? Well, a lot. One thing that hasn't happened? The Chocolate 5k that I discussed in my last blog post ONE YEAR AGO! HA!     I've always been horrid at New Year Resolutions, so I'm not surprised I never made it to the land of the chocolate eating athletes. BUT I WILL THIS YEAR!!! Well, not THIS year technically but at the next running of the chocolate in February of 2014. AND instead of running with the 5k level athletes.. I will be in the coveted 15k group!! (A side note, while I will be one of the 15k groupies.. I will not be one to envy.. pretty sure I'll need chocolate to up my sugar levels so I don't pass out during the 9 miles.)      Anyhoo, back to my post title. A year later. How neat to look back and see how pitiful I was... haha, just kidding.. but ser...
