\nLily sometimes likes to take her nap in the dog bed.

\nwe have quite large dog beds.)
\n26 September 2007<\/p>\n

I am quite moody.\u00c2\u00a0 Living with me is an emotional rollercoaster ride.\u00c2\u00a0 The ups with me can be quite fun — laughter, silliness, happiness.\u00c2\u00a0 But the downs, when I become a fire-breathing b*tch… well, those aren’t so fun… for anyone involved, including me.\u00c2\u00a0 And my sweet almost-three-year-old daughter seems to have the same emotional make-up as me.\u00c2\u00a0 She is our moody little diva.<\/p>\n

What I have learned recently: processed food makes Lily and I much much<\/em> worse.\u00c2\u00a0 Candy or processed food bought in boxes\u00c2\u00a0at the grocery store or fast food and sodas all will do the trick.\u00c2\u00a0 Have you seen the t-shirts that say “Instant a**hole, just add alcohol”?\u00c2\u00a0 Lily and I need t-shirts that say “Instant b*tch, just add processed food.”<\/p>\n

I have been trying to stay away from processed food, but it is hard.\u00c2\u00a0 1) Processed food is ubiquitous in our society; it has saturated every nook, cranny, activity, moment… everything.\u00c2\u00a0 There is definitely a learning curve when one has decided to live without processed food in modern American society.\u00c2\u00a0 And 2) I have cooked, eaten, and lived with processed food all my life.\u00c2\u00a0 It not only requires learning new skills, but also changing habits.<\/p>\n

I think we’re doing quite well.\u00c2\u00a0 And trying to stabilize my moods is definitely a motivation.\u00c2\u00a0 When I go on a processed food binge and then become evil incarnate to all the people I love, I\u00c2\u00a0remember, in a very harsh way,\u00c2\u00a0that processed food is poison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
