4 grams of sugar= WHAT!?

This past weekend I went to the Anwebiwin Agaaming (Rest by the Lake) with my Aunt Kim; the tribe was putting it on. My wonderful mother and father watched my little babes, too, so I was able to go on this Women's Retreat without the offspring.
It definetely was an experience and my Aunt and I are going to make a thing out of it. It was located near where my sons were so it wasn't so traumatic (in case I needed to go home...lol)
Even having to pump every so often to keep my milk supply up (and in case my youngest needed more milk) it was still a nice experience.
There were crafts, wonderful food my Aunt and I didn't have to cook (haha), speakers from the community, and lots of women whom to socialize with.
I even sported my Hello Kitty jammies for the PJ Fashion Show and my aunt and I got a prize suited for this next Christmas (I got snowman bell ornaments).

My husband went on a spiritual journey himself with my Great Uncle and was gone a couple of days. Even though I missed him and our babies...I think a getaway is nice once in awhile. People need that. I needed that.

I don't know WHAT it is though...but my body is way tired!!! I am so exhausted and tired I just don't know what to do and it is making me VERY frustrated FOR SURE.
Now, at this retreat, I learned that grains, nuts, and all those (AND NO WHITE BREADS AND FLOURS!!!) are awesome in the AM. Now, a part of me knew that but hearing it all again is nice. There was Dan the Dietitian who spoke of Food for the Mood! Very good, indeed!
I also learned that for every 4 grams of sugar equals a whole friggin TEASPOON of white sugar. WHHHHAAAAAT!?!? Time to throw my Vitamin Water out the window. Just in that there's almost 4 TSP of sugar. Siiiiigh. Look at the label, people...You will be surprised...and probably disgusted.
It is nice to be knowledgeable though....sometimes, though, it sucks because it sure does limit what you eat. But it is better knowing what you eat than being ignorant about it all.

Now, about this time change that occurred yesterday. Phew.... I don't like it. lol
I think the schedule will slowly get back to the way it was soon...But waking up a hour "later" is strange...and the day yesterday just seemed to fly....and I'm so exhausted...no fun at all!
I also wanted to start getting up early but so far...that's hard. For me to get some alone time in the morning I would probably have to wake up around 6 or 6:30...Or I can just stay up after Anen's second nursing in the night which is around 6am... This morning though it was at 7 and I was still so tired I couldn't even walk straight or keep my balance. Rion woke me up around 8:30 but he was probably awake by himself for a half-hour. He gets up and helps himself to the TV...lol. He has his favorite morning shows. They help him learn so I'm okay with that.

But of course, everything is an hour off now which I do not like. So, we'll have to wait and see when that won't be such a "change".

Oh, but anyways, yes. Back to getting up early. Anen usually wakes up 2-3 times a night depending....But my parent's think he's teething already at 3 months-- and I do see something white under his gums on the bottom...and he's drooling like a St. Bernard...lol So who knows! So I think that's why he is waking up the way he is...but once he gets on a better schedule-- I will be more cognitive and motivated to get up on my own earlier in the morning. :)

Well, i'll cut this post off now. It's long enough. Have a great Monday!
