Lunchtime Blues
I think I start a lot of sentences with “I know a lot of parents must feel this way, but …” when I’m about to complain about something that I know is entirely everyday. However, here’s another moment like that.
My diet has been terrible lately, getting by on maybe some breakfast granola or some bread and large quantities of water and coffee. I remember after I had Gus, I’d manage (most days) to eat a microwave Amy’s burrito. Oh, to have Amy’s burritos in my freezer once more.
So, today, when three o’clock came about and I’d had nothing to eat all day except for some organic Oreo-type things and coffee, I was feeding Gus a lunchtime avocado. Apparently, the little gourmand was not into it today because he leaned over and spat it out. Good for me, because the avocado (and some of his spit) ended up being the topping on my Boca patty. Congrats, Team Me?

I felt similarly–I taught myself how to cook a few months ago because otherwise I was going to feed myself and my child popcorn for dinner every night! It’s really hard trying to cook with her hanging around but sometimes I can make something fast but it’s still really hearty and nutiritious–like Minestrone soup. Mmm.
Why not get some Amy’s burritos for the freezer?
Voila! All sorts of vitamins and minerals! Thanks Gus!
