Read more: Two Hours of My Life–GoneJust as an example of the time suck that kids can be, I spent two hours with the kids at the dentist’s office this morning. And my schedule, such as it is, is all out of whack. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

On the food front
Read more: On the food frontI’m continuing my obsession with trying to eat better, and it’s been challenging, but not impossible. I’m not worrying too much about produce for the moment. I’m buying most from the farmer’s market, but have picked up bananas and avocados, which are obviously not local. The kids and the husband are giving me some grief…
