2 week challenge

I decided over the weekend I needed a challenge.
Obviously just saying no doesn't work for me.
I apparently don't understand that word.
So  challenge myself...why not?! Who doesn't like a little competition?

Two Week Challenge -- No sweets.
No cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, speciality coffee, cake....
You get the picture.
None. For two weeks.
Ok, this should be much easier than it is.
But I LLLOOOOVVVEEEEEE sweets.
Like seriously.
All of it.

Hopefully this will help in becoming a little more disciplined. 


He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. -Proverbs 13:18

I almost failed today. Almost.
Olivia and I went out to run some errands and I had a coupon for a free coffee from McDonalds.
I was so close to getting a chocolate chip frappe
And thankfully before I said a word to Olivia I remembered my challenge.
And those darn pumpkin bars sitting in the kitchen from Barn N Bunk.
Nini, you're killing me ;)

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
