GO GO GO GO GO!

My gas tank is about running on E right now. It’s sad news because I still have about 10 thousand things to do tonight, including making the husband’s lunch (which he complained this morning that “his lunch had no fruit in it yesterday”. I don’t even know him anymore.).

So, this is going to be quick & to the point unless my brain takes me in another direction while I’m writing.

Breakfast = standard. Do I even have to tell you what’s in it anymore? I want you to guess. What did I have for breakfast?

My Thursday morning = crazy, as always. During our library lesson time, the librarian did a lesson on internet safety for my kids. I was so surprised at the things they are allowed to do (unsupervised internet, computers in rooms, unlimited pictures & texting — umm my kids are going to think I’m the lamest when I have them because that’s so not happening!)

I have been making a conscious effort to try and get more protein into my diet lately (well, starting today) in more forms other than hummus & nuts. So, I packed along one of the Vega Shake & Go packets to quick throw in a cup of water (which is what the package directions says to do).

Ew. Seriously, I am not a fan of this stuff just with water. It needs to be mixed into a smoothie for me to enjoy it. However, I’m probably just going to force it down until I begin to kind of tolerate it because that’s 11 grams of protein & I need it!

As part of my lunch today, I had a fugi apple & packed some Nutmeric to go along with it.

Another “ew” — this is a savory spread — not to be used with sweet fruit.

This is how I felt about the entire situation.

Luckily, I had packed a sweet potato, chopped veggies & hummus as well.

And it was a good thing my sweet potato tasted okay with my Nutmeric.

Can someone explain to me why my hummus tasted good with my apple instead of my sweet potato & why my nutmeric tasted good with my sweet potato instead of my apple? Craziness.

After school, I hightailed my behind out of there to run home & prep a dinner for my mom & me. I was going over there to get my hair done & promised her a dinner.

I made a quinoa casserole, inspired by Caitlin — the only thing I changed was instead of the broccoli I had cauliflower & zucchini. I also had flax eggs instead of real eggs. I added some Mexican spices as well. The result? Delicious.

I would tell you that I have enough energy to get the pictures of my dinner off of my phone but that’s a total lie. I’m zonked & really don’t want to put forth the effort. Deal with it.

I also had to take my niece & nephew along with me as my sister & BIL had parent/teacher conferences tonight. I love them to death, but I am always ready for bed when they go home!

Another good piece of news? My first CSA box came today! It was full of carrots, bok choy (yesssss!!!), apples, napa cabbage, greens, & acorn squash. I am PUMMPPPPEEED! Expect to see Bok Choy tomorrow for sure.

I’m on a roll & I can’t stop now — gotta go!

Question: Tell me about your day because I’m too busy to read about them right now — perhaps in the morning!
