We have sad news, our bird did not make it.... We had prepared the kids that this could happen, so there weren't too sad. I was more upset because he was doing so good when I left for work on Tuesday and then when Chris went over to feed him he called me and said he didn't think he was doing too good.
And I feel even worse because I think we over fed him. He would squawk alot and I just assumed he was hungry...ugh I feel horrible. But at least he died with a full stomach, the way I would want to go.
That is the story of my life, is something "squawks" just feed it more, and I wonder why Mike and I need to lose a few pounds.
Which leads me to my next topic - Getting Healthier. We eat well in our house, my kids will eat anything and they love vegetables (they even order broccoli as a side at Chili's). For the month of June I decided we would be vegetarians....and even try to eat "Raw", I have been looking at alot Green blogs and raw eating is always mentioned. I have made a few recipes and they were excellent but I have to admit the "no meat" thing is stuff for the Oursler's - we didn't succeed, Father's Day we had big old burgers. We have been doing good, but we love to eat red meat and I swear my grocery cart would pull straight to the Tri Tip and Filets. So I am going to be realistic and realize this is a marathon and not a sprint, it is going to take time. Both Mike and I need to get some weight off, but more importantly we want to be healthy and teach our kids to eat healthy.
Soo - I am going to try again and change it up a bit. Starting in July we are going to do NO fast food, nothing at all, which includes Starbucks - this will save us money as well. My Starbucks used to only cost me a few bucks but now that my kids love it, it is a $10 -$12 event every time we go. We are going to only eat red meat 1 time a week, and pile on the veggies and fruits. Also going to convince Mike to join WW with me ( I have done it a million times and know it is the one diet that works...because you can save points for wine or a beer).
Okay I'm off to my email from work, I had yesterday off to work at my grandma's, so today I will be busy.
Have a great Friday!

Good luck.. :)
