Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
I know you don’t really wanna guess , so I’ll tell ya.
What stinks is meal planning when I’m on a totally different diet than the rest of the family! AND I’M A BIT GRUMPY ABOUT IT! Can you tell?
I just planned the next seven days of meals for the family and myself and I could just pull my hair out. Except that I just got a lovely new do and tearing it out at this point would be wrong, ‘cuz the hair? It’s purdy!
But that’s not what I came here to scream about! I wanna scream about the list making and the shopping and buying the stuff I can’t even look at, lest the looking become lusting and we don’t wanna go there!
So, I gotta employ all the self control I possess and buy carbs for the family and learn not to grumble under my breath while buying them or serving them. Grr. (“Might ditch the last bit. Why should I be the only edgy person in the house?) (“Shut up, evil twin!”)
I think I’ll try some meditation. Is it really buddhism if I think about bacon when I meditate? Can’t be.
Oh yeah, before I go, anybody notice anything different around here? I mean besides the cute hair.

I figured the names had to do with where you live.
Personally, I like the whole pirate thing too.
Hi Becky, The URL has always been the same but I changed the name and the theme from pirates to cowboys for a while there. It didn’t go over well, and the kids didn’t appreciate the change as much as I did and didn’t you ever wonder why the kids were called Tex, Hank, Dusty, Rowdy, Slim and Sally Mae?
I’ve changed ‘em back now. I’ll post about it soon, but here’s the list.
Tex is The Cap’n, Hank is Calico Zak, Dusty is Billy Bones, Rowdy is Cannonball Jack, Slim is The Squid, and Sally Mae used to be The Princess, but since she never liked it very much and we really like the name Sally Mae, we have decided to go with Sweet Sally Mae. Confused? Welcome aboard!
I must be completely clueless. I never even knew there was a change to cowpokes to begin with. I have you as shipfullofpirates on the little thingy I click on.
So what were you for a while? “Ship full of cowpokes?” Certainly not. Maybe “Stall full of cowpokes?” Come on. Let me know what I missed.:D
Oh, Cyndi, you know me,sometimes I just gotta stir the pot.
Okay, why the change from cowpokes to pirates? Is your new place going to be a houseboat? (LOL… just kidding.)
Hi Melanie, You’ve got an eye for details.
You’re Pirates again! Huzzah! what do pirates say to celebrate? Yippee just doesn’t cut it
anyhoo, I am happy to see that you are a ship full of pirates again 
They are learning to keep their collective traps shut about the salads.
I am battling this all the time! I am on an allergy free diet, and the rest of the house gets to eat all the good stuff…..but, nuff grumbling…what i do is, cook for them…take whatever meat (seems to be the only thing our two diets have in common, i.e chicken) and make myself two side dishes of veggies and such. If there is a common element in my diet and theirs, they just have to eat it more often, thus reducing my work. So, since i can eat sauted veggies, chicken, and salad…they eat it a lot, If there is a request for something i can not eat at all, like spagetti and meatballs. i make it, and do something special for myself. That seems to eliminate temptation for me. I always keep a lot of foods around for myself to snack on. If they want something else to snack on, well…the fridge is over there, and full of foods they can eat…the only time i run into temptation is if i fail to plan for myself in a time pinch or a not too well planned grocery trip. As mothers, we tend to take care of ourselves last. This is one instance where that hurts us and the people we love. So, be encouraged….be creative, and if they get sick of salad…give em the hairy eyeball…and tell em to eat it and say thank you Mama for lovin us all!
