Monday Rambling

I left the house 30 minutes late today.  My coffee is not kicking in and I am so damn tempted to chug a Coke (real Coke, as in not Coke Zero or Diet) for the sugar rush but am so far resisting.  My eyeballs feel like a hazy film is covering them and it’s seriously hard to keep them open.  I promised myself I would work out at lunch today and thankfully I still plan on keeping that promise because I do actually think I will feel more awake after.

I am very much looking forward to getting home this evening but at the same time I am dreading it because everything I was supposed to do yesterday but didn’t will be waiting for me.  Like the massive pile of clean clothes covering the couch.  At least the furbies will have a comfy napping spot.  What about the things I wrote about wanting to do on Friday, you ask?  Nothing. Zip.  No way Jose.  I will have to plan to do those another time.

The key thing will be to keep myself awake until it’s time to go to bed… as a lover of naps I want to lay my head down whenever I can but it always screws up my nighttime sleep.  Or maybe I’m just  night owl – I will be exhausted until I crawl into bed and then I want to stay up forever.  Ahhh #firstworldproblems.

I will admit however that an extra hour of daylight is wonderful and the sun came out yesterday and has managed to stay.  I am looking forward to watching this little guy go crazy when I take him out to enjoy it!

Sun worshiping

I hope to be back tomorrow with something intelligent to say (but no promises ;)

   

What We're Eating This Week

Daylight Savings can suck it.  Losing an hour is the worst.  Especially when you wake up as hungover as I did. Book club was a blast.  Today was one of those hangover days where I didn't move until 11am and even then it was just to change locations from the bed to the couch.  And of course it was a gorgeous day, we even had our doors open for awhile!  Is Spring coming??

We had grand plans of cooking tonight but opted for cereal instead. It was quick and easy and required zero cooking. Today wasn't a complete loss though... I made Milo's food for the month, made smoothies, peeled and cut all the carrots and prepped a bunch of other groceries we bought.  Oh and two loads of laundry.  The clean clothes are covering the couch but at least they're clean right?  I will be playing catch-up tomorrow night, including making my lunch salads.  Which means I don't have lunch for tomorrow so please let me find the strength to not hit up a drive thru.

Here is what we have happening in the kitchen this week:

Sunday: Cereal. No joke... Honey Chex to be exact.

Monday: Beef Lettuce Wraps (we didn't end up making these last week)

Tuesday: Parmesan Baked Chicken

Wednesday: Breakfast for Dinner 

Thursday: Tortellini Pasta with Tomato Sauce

Friday: Dinner Out :)

We need some new dinner ideas - any suggestions?
