Is it a southern thing or just people with no common sense?

I would never consider riding an ATV (four wheeler) if I were expecting a child. I know someone who at 6 months pregnant was riding one and I expressed my concern and told her to ask her doctor for approval. To my satisfaction, the doctor stressed over and over again absolutely not! Too my dismay, I found out at 30 weeks that she was back on the freaking thing again.

I posted on a pregnancy board and was blasted by women who are and have ridden while pregnant with their children and these women both said they lived in the south. Now I'm not saying that people in the south have no common sense or that women in the south have no common sense. I just find it highly coincidental that all these women riding these atv's are in the south.

Isn't there a reason you don't do these things when pregnant?

Food, Food and More Food!

So, I really hate that there are only two people in my house to feed and maybe if there were more I'd hate that too if they were picky eaters. Feeding one is easy make a sandwich or soup and salad or a bowl of cereal whatever floats your boat for the moment. Feeding two however is so much more difficult. It means you must buy and cook and make something that both parties will enjoy. And it means you must cook. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE cooking and experimenting with new meals, but I hate doing it all alone. I also hate cleaning up too. I need to learn and impose the "I'll cook and you clean up" rule...wonder if it'll work?

When making meals for two there is usually so much left over that it eventually goes to waste; and I hate wasting food, but I don't always want to eat the same thing two days in a row and wish I was smart enough in the kitchen to have something today that I can incorporate into tomorrow's meal.. hmmm. I'll have to think about this.

One of the favorite meals in my house is Chicken Marsala w/Asparagus and creamed potatoes. .. Wonder if I should cook that tonight? Chicken is a major staple in our diets and I need to learn new ways to prepare it. Of course if I new how to pick and prepare the good fish and good steak, that would probably increase as well.

I must go grocery shopping. There are so many things I need to purchase! Guess I'll get my grocery list ready! Ciao!!
