I am on vacation all week. It’s school vacation week. So I get to sit around and not get paid! Yippie! Gotta love losing half a paycheck.  So there may be many weird rambling posts that have little or nothing to do with IBS as I strive to entertain myself. But don’t worry, this one will be connected. I think.

So anyway, I have to find things to amuse myself with all this time off. Because laundry and cleaning the kitchen are no fun, I am reading a lot of blogs. I am also job hunting (more on that later I’m sure). But yesterday I had to go grocery shopping because the Kid had no milk. And the Hubby had no butter. So off I went all by myself, just me and my huge sweet tooth. BIG Mistake. Big! Huge! I bought chocolate. Bad me. Someone smack my hand. I bought brownies! I haven’t made them yet. But there is no milk in the mix. Just oil to watch for. So I will have to make them and have a small brownie, only half the pan.  :)    And perhaps a whole bottle of fiber.  mmmm. yummy. I’m going to make them this afternoon.

I also bought Andies mints. yummy chocolate and mint. mmmmm….I love them. I wish I could only eat one. But that is just not how I am hard wired. I wish the Hubby would eat more of them…

I bought some yummy yummy pork chops. I had half a chop, the Kid pretended to heat the other half, and the Hubby got the rest. It was great to have something that wasn’t turkey or chicken. Pork seems to be a hit and miss with me. So far so good, no bad reactions. Yet. Every once in awhile you just have to take a chance. But only in the privacy of your own home.

The worst thing though, was the box of Corn Pops that some how materialized in my shopping cart. Their big problem is all the sugar. I love the yummy sweet crunchiness. But my blood sugar doesn’t. So I may get light headed soon (hopefully after I am done with this post). I should eat some protein.

So, what does all this mean???  I am so off my normally very boring and predictable diet. This could be disastrous. Or it could be ok. Gotta love to total lack of predictability that is life with IBS.  Good thing I don’t have anywhere to be this week.  But tomorrow I have to get back to normal, because we are supposed to go to the in-laws this weekend. We want to leave Friday. So I have to be able to travel. I’ll have to send the brownies to work with the Hubby. So sad.  But maybe some of this stuff will trigger a bowel movement. I had a little one yesterday, the only sign on movement since Friday, when I unfortunately had to take a little bit of Imodium. Imodium is not good for me, system is way to sensitive to it. So I am sure there will be a horrible day around here any time. It has to happen before Friday. Has too – because I said so. I want to go away this weekend, I have lots of cool Pampered Chef stuff to pick up. :)  

For the record, I feel fine today.

Ha, famous last words.  :)
