My Very Good Diet

I've been getting in the workouts lately, thanks to my YMCA membership and motivation from a friend but the diet is seriously lagging behind. I have had the munchies nonstop for the past month or so but enough is enough!
This weekend, the kids and I drove past Culvers and I mentioned that although the flavor of the day was very appealing, I was now watching what I was eating a little more carefully and ice cream was a no-no.
Well, today was a busy one- Angelina had a dentist appointment about an hour away and then I really needed to grocery shop in a bad way.
To reward Angelina for her dentist visit and be able to go directly to the grocery store, we stopped at her favorite for lunch, McDonalds.
The kids all ordered their stuff and I ordered a burger and an ice coffee for myself to eat on the run. As we sat in the van eating, Emilio said, "Mom, is this place part of your diet? Because if it is then it's a really good diet!"

Sounds painful!

The other day I took Angelina and Abby, our seven-year-old neighbor, to the store with me. On the way there they discussed all the things I should buy.
After I while, I said jokingly, "What, do you guys think I am made of money?"
Abby said very seriously, "If you were, I would rip your arm off and put it in my wallet."
Ummm....Ouch?
