The Week of the Shriek

The Bubbie is going through a phase.  The Sister, The Maja, The Maja-in-Law and The Doctor (my crack team of experts) call it separation anxiety.  It's completely normal...apparently.  It involves a new cry.  It doesn't seem possible that there are so many different cries, but there are.  There's the It's Time to Eat Cry, the I Want Out of This Crib Cry, the I've Just Pooed in My Diaper Cry, the Mommy Please Hold Me Cry, the Daddy Please Hold Me Cry, the I Don't Wanna Go to Sleep cry...but this is new.  The Shriek.

shriek - noun 
a high-pitched, piercing cry or sound

Piercing.  That says it all.  It can wear on a momma's heart.

I feel like I need to say that this week hasn't been all shrieks.  It has been quite lovely.  I promise another post detailing the loveliness.

Speaking of donuts (again)...did you know that one donut has around 300 calories?!?  And who eats ONE DONUT?

I've decided to take a new approach to the just-had-a-baby belly - calorie counting.  We have tried the low-carb approach.  Cooking low-carb STINKS!  I'm sure that there are people who enjoy tasteless, fun-sucking cooking...NOT ME!  Low-calorie, however, is delightful!  There are bazillions of recipes online...with actual flavor!  My tastebuds are singing!  So is my scale.
