Exactly what *is* a nocturnal freak? I need to know if I have them.

And, are you supposed to lick the caffeinated soap?? That’s the perfect way to get your potty-mouthed children good and hyper.

Thanks for the comment on my blog!

Nice.

I had to unscrew a stripped screw a couple of months ago. That was HARD. But if you don’t know how to do it, I’m your girl.

The only headache medicine that works for me is Excedrine.

I gave up caffeine about 9 months ago, after having my first panic attack. Caffeine and anxiety are heavily linked. I started drinking it a bit again, in the past month, and last week, started having racing heart beats.

There might be something to that whole Word of Wisdom thing, I guess. Who knew?

My mother always kept caffeine in the house for miagranes. That was the only time it was drunk growing up. My husband, however, should just get his diet coke in an IV, it would be easier that way.

Thanks, Jennifer, it will make me feel better for the next time I grab a handful.

I’m not a soda drinker, but I am a chocoholic!! Big time!! At times of major melt down, I will go grab a big handful of chocolate chips. (Like when the kids pour a whole box of rice krispies on the floor.) I also keep dark chocolate chips in my closet, and other such candy.

I grew up on granola bars very similar to these, and lately I’ve been making them for my son (right) as well. When my mom would make them she’d also add in some organic puffed brown rice cereal (basically rice crispies).

I use honey instead of sugar, and I’ve used maple syrup a few times which is nice for a change. Also, you don’t need the corn syrup (nasty stuff) and if you don’t want to grind the oats to flour, you can just add a bit more of the whole oats, and they still come out lovely.

I think I have more to say about these, so I think I need to head over to my own blog and do a post about them rather than filling up your comment space with my rambling!
