The more time I spend with kids, the more my palate suffers. Fine French food has nothing on frozen chicken nuggets. Why go out for Thai food when you can make Kraft dinner? Bake fresh bread when Wonder is still in business?
Somebody save me.
Don’t worry – six more days until wine o’clock and my date with the fish.
About Tracy
My name is Tracy Morrison and I live in sunny Minnesota. I'm neither British nor a nun - I'm just a Midwesterner with a headache. This is mainly a humor and lifestyle blog that documents the lighter side of parenting. I am an ex-corporate ladder climber turned freelance writer, social media manager, and fashion expert - and ruler of my own little universe(very small). Aren't we all. I would love for you to contact me at tracy@sellabitmum.com
I’ve given up MY favorite treat, flour tortilla with butter, in an attempt to shed a few lbs. This vlog got me all stressed and I had to go eat one! Thanks a lot! LOL Evin Cooper recently posted..Genius Blogger Alert

I am so sorry – please have one for me. That sounds awesome.
Hilarious! I’ve made a mental note to always investigate if goldfish crackers can be included in diets in the future. And that song?! I need to go download it. So awesome. Mrs. Weber recently posted..Gluten-Free Baked Goods- Ethel’s Edibles

Maybe I can invent the Goldfish Diet! Moms everywhere would totally go for that.
Hahah! I spot a little goldfish thief at the end. I swear I smelled wine when you put the bottle up to your nose. That is how badly I would like a glass right now. Elena recently posted..Mommy Knows Best
I literally laughed out loud watching this. Not that dieting is in any way, shape, or form funny… But thanks for the laugh! You can do it!! Stay strong! Kaycie Christine recently posted..The French Braid Post
OK, sweet thing, having spent some time with you IRL, could you explain why a diet? You have a little roll behind your big toe or something thats bothering you?
You are gorgeous and teeeeeeeny!

You’re going about this all wrong, sista. Here’s my “diet.” Drive to Lunds. Buy yourself the 8 pack of the iced cookies – the ones that are gooey soft and have a inch-thick layer of frosting. Eat the whole pack. Have diarrhea for two days. Bye-bye five pounds. Done and done.
During the first 2 weeks I just wanted some damn FRUIT! I laughed at the part about not being able to lick your fingers!!! I had to restrain a few times myself! LOL! Elaine recently posted..So here we are at 20 months and 5 days
Last thing I did before sleeping was watch your vlog. I laughed so hard my husband was intrigued. I played it for him again. Then he started watching your older vlogs. This morning he was singing ‘afraid of worms’.

I’m dieting, too. I just went downstairs to work on laundry and found my daughter’s hamper covered with a beach towel and goldfish crackers. I thought it was a sign that I should eat some. Then I saw the poopy panties next to the hamper and changed my mind. Karen recently posted..Things Im Loving Right Now

Ok…stupid question by the lone guy that reads this blog….why is a girl/chick/woman/female (damnit what is the proper term at this point in my life?) with more pronounced clavicle bones than any starving person in Africa doing on a no-carb fad diet? Just asking? I have it on good authority from a female friend that the Michelob Ultra diet (as she calls it “healthy beer”) is much better…basically only Mich Ultra (low carb by the way)….two results…constant buzz and weight loss…I don’t see a down side
admin
June 7, 2011 | 8:51 pm
Oh Brian. The Michelob Ultra Diet, eh? Well I am not a beer drinker – but if you have a similar regimen for wine – I am your girl!
Also, you are not the lone guy – my dad reads my blog also. And you can refer to me as Goddess.
OK, I spit-laughed when you nuzzled the bottle of wine, sweet wine, and sprayed saliva all over my screen.
But girl, why are you dieting? You look fab.
BTW, I’m the the queen of health nuts and have always been proud of my diverse palette, but since becoming a mom I’ve developed an insatiable taste for organic chicken nuggets, Annie’s mac ‘n cheese, and Pirate’s Booty.

I am very close to my wine. I miss it.

This is a very funny cry for help. I will respond by telling you a story about myself (typical.)

p.s. Can you still run when you do South Beach? I’d think you’d have no energy. Not that I have a ton to spare when I’m eating carbs…but.
p.s.s. I like to reply to myself. It makes me feel cherished.
julie gardner recently posted..Today call me lukewarm
If I may interrupt your conversation with yourself..
If you are having a croissant A. We can no longer be friends and B. That is me knocking on your front door.
P.S. Yes, I am still running. Yes, energy is low – but it’s doable.
P.S.S. I talk to myself all the time. And I cherish myself also.
ahahaha!
Oh your vlogs make me so happy!
