Update on the NYR's

Day three with no pop: 
  • I miss it. 
  • I have subconsciously gone to get a can 2 or 3 times, forgetting that I'm not supposed to drink it.
  • I have replaced it with sweet tea, which *I realize* is no better, sugar-wise, but seriouslypeople - I can't just jump on the wagon and hang on for dear life.  I need a seatbelt.  
Day 2 of no TV:
  • I miss it.  I want to watch the news.  And an old movie.  And TMZ.  To cope I have checked the weather multiple times on my laptop, and have added TMZ.com to my favorites bar.
  • The boys seem fine without it.  We have started having "centers" again, which is good.  They are fighting about the same amount as before. 
  • Chad has been very supportive, but did inform me today that he 'needs' to see certain football games, so he might have to go to Drew's house more now.  
Day 2 of being more organized:
  • The No TV is helping this, as I feel like having the boys do centers IS organization.  It takes forethought and planning, and a timer, and lots of bins.... Sounds like 'organizing' to me.  
  • I have walked near to my mounds of paperwork for 2008, but have not dared touch them yet.  And I got a charming little letter from my wonderful accountant, hoping to see me soon.  So I need to get my butt in gear with that one.  Maybe Monday...

Shaina,
Good for you on your 3rd day w/o pop! That has to be sooo hard!! I'm a sweet tea lover myself so I say it's a completely acceptable substitute. It might actually bridge you away from pop as it is easier to ween off of than soda. Well, maybe that's because I can't seem to find sweet tea here in the NW. Aww heck, nevermind then! Drink up, girlie!

So glad you entered the contest. Best of luck!!!

Tiff in Washington...for now

You are a brave, brave women. No soda and no TV...I'm shaking just thinking about it.
Coke Zero is my indulgence. I tell myself it's okay because I usually drink while my 2 boys are napping. I actually get headaches from caffeine withdrawals if I miss my one soda a day.
My boys are 2 and 3 so I'll be checking back to see how you are going with no TV. Good luck!
