Do you really care that my breakfast was super yummy this morning? That I made banana oats and mixed in peanut butter and the best tasting strawberry-rhubarb jelly on the planet? If you do that’s cool because I did and it was really good.

Is it worth mentioning that my husband, Jason, was so nice for bringing me home a grande dark cherry mocha with soy no whip coffee from Starbucks last night after his meeting so I would have it this morning? Well he did and I was very grateful.

Is my leftover Pacific veggie pizza from Domino’s with a really sweet pear that interesting to you this evening? Well – it did taste good…

You all know that I’m planning on running my first half marathon in October, but are you that curious about how many miles I ran today? If you are it was 3.2 and I was pushing Regan in the jogging stroller…

When I got home I rehydrated with some undocumented Vitamin Water and made my stomach happy with a Think Thin bites bar that the company so thoughtfully sent me a package of to review.

This one was good, but not great. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. Do you care?

The girls and I had a really nice, simple dinner. I cooked some Annie’s mac n cheese plus soy nuggets and a simple salad with poppy seed vinaigrette.

Is this meal really news worthy though? Are these chocolate chip cookies, baked by Regan, all that important??

I thought it was pretty sweet and so did they…

Of course they thought American Idol was pretty freaking important also! Do you?? Probably. Or you are interested in Lost or who’s doing what on the Biggest Loser or what Jon Stewart’s talking about on The Daily Show…well so do I. However, I think this might be even more news worthy in this day and age.

I know that we are all loving Jamie Oliver’s show Food Revolution and all that he is trying to do in our schools. At least I am. Jamie is trying to fight against something I have been fighting all by myself for over a year now. I pray that his celebrity can get him farther than I have gotten.

I pray that news articles like this one, or this one, or this one, or even this one can help people wake up and realize that not only are we screwing over our kids, cutting their lives short by 10 to 15 years and NOT teaching them how to properly care for themselves where their diet is concerned – NOW we’re (excuse the use of this upcoming expletive) FUCKING our country!

Our children are now considered too fat to serve in the military, become fire fighters or police officers because they cannot pass the physical fitness standards required to even apply. The phrase being used for this problem by retired military officers…A National Security Threat. The phrase I use for this problem…Child Abuse!!!

Do you really care?? Prove it…read and sign this petition.
