Crash

I hope this post finds all of you well! I have been fighting a bit of what I call "a crash" for the last two days. My body received the memo that midterms are over, I handed in my paper, took my exam, gave my presentation, and that the baby is no longer in my care for a few days, so it decided to shut down. Chronic illness is a cruel mistress in that way. It communicates to you exactly what it needs in the form of pain and pure exhaustion, and you better obey... OR ELSE! Needless to say, I have been obeying, but never missing a meal, making sure to get in my green juices and an overkill of fruits and veggies. I am drinking organic green juice (spinach, cucumber, and green apple) and eating organic dark chocolate as I type!

Onto exciting news, I was asked to be a "guest blogger" for the crazysexylife.com blog, which is a TOTAL honor! I am in such great company with the experts who have written before me. I finished the post this morning and sent it over to be reviewed. Let's hope it is up to par!!!!!

Here are some photos from the past few days of Shorter and Addie. The nut butters were brought home by my dad for me this morning along with a fridge full of fruits and veggies! YUM!

Hey! I was down there today (we had a brunch at The Molly Pitcher Inn) and I got to stop by Deans and grab some goods!! :) I will be posting about them tomorrow! Glad you are listening to your body, I spent so much time away from home this weekend that by body is going to crash any second.I hope you feel better soon! :) HUGS!

Something about that picture of Shorter makes me want to tackle him. Really badly. He's just asking for it!!!

Lindsey, it's because he is just standing there like a big tree trunk!

I can't wait to read it, I know it will be great!

I don't think its a good idea to have a green juice and chocolate at the same time. I could be wrong, but I think it'd be better to finish digesting the juice before getting started on the chocolate! :)
