I tend to eat better when I am not around the house all day. I guess there are too many temptations around the house. I try to buy the goodies that my DH and DS like that aren't my favorites. I buy Doritos and plain potato chips, that sort of thing. My DH keeps bringing home other things, like peanut butter filled pretzels etc. At school they aren't calling my name all day long. On Tuesday someone is supplying the teachers with pizza and salad for lunch. I hope I can stick with the salad.
Irish, my SIL has a lot of trouble with animals in her garden also. She swears by a spray she makes. She puts an egg and hot sauce in the blender and blends it up. Put it in a spray bottle and let it rot for a few days until it get good and stinky. Then she sprays the plants once a week or so A little more if it rains a lot and she is getting produce for the firat time since they moved to their house.
