Eat, Rush, Repeat

Boy, morning always comes so fast and I was starvin’ Marvin when I woke up!  No time to wait, I fixed up breakfast right away.  A wafflewich was calling my name…

I ate it so fast, I don’t even remember it!  I hate when I do that!  Note to self:  TAKE YOUR TIME.  Because right after I shoveled ate it, I had a craving for chocolate!  Why is the UNIVERSE torturing me??!!!  I mean, REALLY, do I have to fight morning cravings now, too??!!  I ran out of the kitchen and busied myself with getting the daughters off to school.

I had to skip the gym so that I could tidy up at home and prepare for my lunch guest, Rosemary and her little guy…

He is such a cutie pie!!!  I had fun snuggling him up and catching up with my friend!

We took a snuggle break and ate some lunch.  I had prepared an Italian Chicken Salad;  a great recipe from my girl at the Food Network…

I served it on lettuce with a side salad and a slice of Seven Grain Bread…

and some red pepper hummus…

Such a nice afternoon!

That was the extent of  quiet and relaxing;  the daughters came home and it was back to reality!  We had to head to religion class followed by an ice cream social which I had to help out with, so I decided to give everyone a quick Annie’s mac and cheese dinner with some veggies before we left.  The daughters were not loving eating dinner at 3:45, but I knew the ice cream would deter them from wanting ANY dinner at all later!  So, as not to be tempted  during my job as designated “scooper”, I ate a good snack before leaving, too – Chobani nonfat peach yogurt topped with Pecan Sticky Bun granola (* do NOT buy this, it is EVIL) and about 45 more handfuls of granola – GAH!

I scooped without incident.  A little while after getting home, I had a small bowl of dinner leftovers…

I’m realizing that I’m going to have to get better at pre-planning some dinner for these busy nights.  Can’t eat mac and cheese every time…actually, that wouldn’t be soooo awful ;P

Hope you all had a great day!

ONE GOOD THING:  The Pecan Sticky Bun Granola is almost gone
