Earlier this week I was looking up healthy meals that I could prepare ahead of time to put in the freezer for when baby comes, and came across an interesting blog. It brought out my inner hippy. And then I got thinking about our life in general, and how, in the last few months, we have been living in a somewhat toxic state. Josh is, on an almost daily basis, grumpy due to some physical ailment that is plaguing him. I know he would feel at least a little bit better if we made more of an effort to eat healthier. The thing is, what with being pregnant, I often have very strong likes and dislikes of various foods, which has been problematic in us eating well for the last several months. I am, on an almost daily basis, grumpy due to one physical ailment that is plaguing me, too. ;) Once again, I feel guilty about Laura getting the short end of the stick on this. She didn't ask for another sibling; she didn't ask for her Mom and Dad to be short-tempered and impatient; she didn't ask for any of this. I'm sure in the long run, she will be happy and better off to have another sibling, but right now I feel like we have just been ruining her life for the last eight months, and probably the next four.
Anyhoo, I have decided that starting now, as a family, we need to make a more conscious effort to control all the 'toxicity' in this house. Eating better food. Choosing our own moods rather than letting environmental factors influence us so greatly. Being thankful for what we have, which is a lot, and generally trying to have a positive outlook on life.
