I can't go into all the weirdness of the day, but I wanted to make good on my promise to myself to publicly journal my eating. So at nearly 12:30 at night (technically day 7, but reporting day 6)...
Breakfast--reheated coffee with half and half and 1 sugar around 8am
A's sister wanted to take us all out for breakfast, so I had coffee and the kids had a light breakfast of cereal as we were going to meet for breakfast between 9-10am
However they slept in and did not call until after 10:45am, so around 9:45 the kids and I had a banana each.
at 11:20am we met for brunch at the diner
I had 2 eggs over medium with 2 sausage patties and 2 pieces of rye toast with butter, and a cup of coffee and a glass of water. I also shared some of A's home fries.
After brunch A's sister headed home for her 4 hour drive. And we came back to my house. A had to leave for work at 2:00, but got to hang out with the boys and play some video games.
I had a bowl of Kid's Peanut Butter Crunch (like generic capt crunch) with milk around 3:00pm, and the kids had a cereal snack as well (they seem to be addicted to dry cereal sometimes). They also had some slim jim type snack sticks (the tiny ones) and I had a small portion of Ziti.
Mom stopped by and we had coffee as well around 4:00pm.
Oddly we ate dinner late, around 7:00pm. We had some of the ziti that was left over from last night and G ate some of the meatballs. After dinner, the kids had peaches for their snack, and after they went to bed, I had a piece of left over birthday cake.
Then, instead of blogging or writing, or doing ANYTHING productive, I sat down to check out G's new video game--Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. A's niece (adult) sent birthday gifts up with A's sister for G as it was his birthday last week. So G had presents from his aunt and his 2 cousins (the lawyer and the doctor--pretty amazing family to have two young ladies (still in their 20's) already with high degrees, and a son in college studying prelaw--A's sister is amazing).
So one of the gifts G got was this new video game, and I like to play them ahead so that when the kids get stuck, Mom knows what to do. most of their games are really simple s(as they are 4 and 8) so I don't really play them too much ahead, as I can figure them out as they go along if the kids get stuck. But this one was a little more complex,so I wanted to get through a few levels. Which is why from about 9:00pm until 12:30am I have been sucked into the game....
And now I am eating another bowl of cereal with milk, and have emptied almost 3/4 of a 2 liter bottle of seltzer water throughout the evening. And I am exhausted and ready for bed. I know, I actually have a rule about eating after like 9:00pm, but I broke that rule tonight. It is definitely time for sleep, after I let the dog in so she does not turn into a doggie Popsicle. I was so happy with the spring weather this past week. It is now quite cold again and was spitting snow earlier. however I have seen geese flying overhead, have had to dodge squirrels and chipmunks on the roads, and the dog has been finding a lot to bark at. I believe that spring has officially and literally begun (and these last few cold blasts over the next month will just have to be tolerated...)
Happy Spring, and Good night...
