Hair help for redheads
Carrots and berries boost red tresses. The yogurt's lactic acid helps the coloring antioxidants in the berries and carrots get past the surface of your locks -- so they really seep in. Honey, a natural humectant, hydrates the hair.
Finely chop 3 medium-size raw carrots in a food processor or blender (add 1/2 cup cranberries if you want copper undertones), and make a coarse paste. Add 3 tablespoons yogurt and 2 tablespoons honey, then mix well. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout hair, massaging lightly. Keep it on for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse. Style as usual.

I did so want that apartment
We need a three bedroom apartment. An apartment for under $1000 a month in Baltimore and near good things. A cool apartment that is part of a house would be great.

I found twenty dream homes
Laura is looking to buy a eco-friendly green home for under $100,000 and have us rent it from her. The searching is so fun because there are so many homes out there that I love.

This is how it is
I disobey the rules (whatever they are) with Edgar and things just seem to turn out better.
Edith...we try our best but she's a demonic princess of doom! Maybe she will snap out of it someday?

That was weird
My post for today went under August 1st. Odd.
Here's a picture of my hair to add the the strangeness.

Getting better
I still get a little panicked and upset at times, but I think I'm getting better at handling stress.
I might even do a yoga practice tomorrow.

I am somebody
"I am Somebody! I am Somebody! I may be poor, But I am Somebody. I may be young, But I am Somebody. I may be on welfare, But I am Somebody. I may be small, But I am Somebody. I may have made mistakes, But I am Somebody. My clothes are different, My face is different, My hair is different, But I am Somebody. I am black, Brown,or white. I speak a different language But I must be respected, Protected, Never rejected. I am God’s child!" Recited by Jesse Jackson on Sesame Street!

I spent $40 on aromatherapy oils today
My anxiety is getting bad. It is interfering with my life. I am turning to gorgeous smells to help me through this time. I want to be a human again. I am so tired of the way I am right now. My mental, physical, and spiritual are all either stunted or broken. I can't stop being bad and I can't think.

The inlaws are gone
It was a very good visit. The house is back to being messy again. We have finished off all the junk food they left behind.

Tattoo...
Told my mom about me having a tattoo yesterday. It broke her heart but I hope she can see my point of view someday.

I am going crazy
Everyone thinks I'm a great mom, but I thought giving a big yell in the middle of one of Edith's tantrums would help.
My mom said she did it with me and it scared me to be quiet.
Edith grabbed the sides of my head and scratched me while continuing to scream violently.

What you think, you become
I am a bad-ass super mama who can cook, is beautiful by her own standards, is thin and full of energy, and has high self esteem.

My boy
I am not tired of my boy. I love him so much. I hope I can be a better mama for him than I am so far for poor Edith. She gets all the badness from me and he gets all the pampering. I wish I hadn't stolen her childhood.
Tired
I am tired of:
Being fat
Being hungry
Not knowing how to cook
Not being able to cook
Heat
Criticism
People who ignore other people illogically
Soreness
Klint's leg being destroyed
Edith's inability to speak her problems
Her refusal to eat any food I make
Being tired
Being useless and alone all day.

Naptime.
Everyone sleeps. Edith is flat on her face in her crib and breathing normally. She had a fever earlier today, but I medicated it away. Edgar lays his arm over my boob and naps lightly.
I am giving in to the concept that I will have to wear tank tops this summer or die. I desperately need a trip to Target.

I am becoming a fan of the "Come For Tea" podcast.
Scone Hearts

Not too sweet, but full of deep chocolate flavor.
These heart-shaped scones are perfect for any
Valentine's Day tea!
- Recipe -
2 cup flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/8 t. salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg yolk
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
FPreheat oven to 375 . Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper. Set aside.
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the
flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry
blender, cut in the butter until the pieces are the
size of peas.
2. To the flour mixture, add the egg yolk, yogurt
and chocolate chips. Use a spatula to carefully
toss the ingredients together.
3. When the mixture starts to come together and
creates larger pieces of dough, stop mixing and
turn out onto a floured board. Pull the dough
together with your hands and lightly knead until
the dough is nearly smooth. Use your fingertips
to pat the dough out into a 10"-12" circle. Use a
heart-shaped cookie cutter and begin cutting
out the scones. Place on the baking sheet,
leaving room for them to rise in the oven.
Continue cutting out heart-shaped scones by
gathering the bits of dough and patting them
out.
4. Bake for 16 minutes, then remove to a wire
rack to cool.

Ooh. I think I'm almost done.
BUT-Klint got a job today so that is wonderful. I hope I can time my birthing for a slightly good start time for all involved. Edith can be cozy with Ellie and Klint can be at the hospital with me. How does Saturday morning sound Sounds good to me. February 18th. See you then! Or the 11th if you're planning an early arrival.
