It was a crazy day at my house. My little boy came that I babysit and then I had to get a lunch packed for our home school co-op play date at the park. I made the kids a sandwich then I had to think about my lunch. Mine usually takes more prep because I am not eating bread. I was so hungry this morning. I tried a new recipe. I made an orange creamsicle protein shake. I used almond milk, ice, protein powder, stevia and 3 drops of orange essential oil. It was yummy but I realized that I'm not a sweet eater for breakfast. Two drops would have been enough. So I ate it and it was filling but I really love some sausage and eggs or a muffin in a mug for breakfast. I'm a true blue country gal! I ended up having some skinny chocolate and then later had some leftover devilled eggs for a snack (I know, weird right?)
Anyway back to my lunch. I prepped beef salami, cheese, fresh cucumbers and peppers from the garden, strawberries and pecans. I finished packing the kids lunch, filled water bottles, found raincoats, loaded the recyclables and out the door we went. Then I realized I needed gas. So after dropping off the plastic at the recycling center and getting gas, we were park bound. It was a whirl wind day of group meeting, rounding up kids, feeding them, meeting some more, round up kids and then coming home.
As soon as I got home, I sat down at the table to work on planning our new school year (which begins Monday), then hubby came home for 5 minutes and was back out the door to go to another job. I then had to go pick up our weekly eggs, which again was rounding up the kids and heading out. I drive 10 minutes to get 3 dozen eggs every week and they are the yummiest, best eggs ever! You can't beat free range, organic eggs for 2.50 a dozen. Worth every bit of effort.
After coming home, this was all I heard, "I'm starving, what's for supper?" Thankfully I had thawed some deer tenderloin. So I made my family some tenderloin, mashed potatoes, corn and sauteed zucchini in butter. I ate tenderloin, zucchini and a small portion of mashed potatoes. It had a been a long time since I've them and I had a yummy crossover meal with some ice cold milk.
Shew! I'm exhausted just typing all that out. I'm glad everyday isn't like that or I'd be a basket case! Now I'm off to watch a movie with hubby. The kids are holed up in my room watching sleeping beauty. Have a blessed week :)
