Smells like team spirit

Dinner is Crockin', and it smells like team spirit.

To survive, I've been prioritizing rest during nap time over attacking my to do list. (Read: slacker needs to get it together!) It follows then that I have been in a meal prep rut. I'm sick of restaurants with poor service, frozen meals in a bag and other processed foods. Grocery shopping trips have been limited to the basics without thinking through what we'll actually need to eat for the week.

So. This weekend DADable offered to take the kids to the park. When HUGable asked if I was going, mommy guilt set in. I grabbed my shopping list, menu binder and cook book and told them I'd sit nearby while daddy played with them. I finished with time left to swing KISSable and let DADable to spin the girls on the merry-go-round. <-- Big mistake!

Finished up the morning with a trip to the grocery store, where the girls got in a scuffle while driving side-by-side in the cramped shopping cart car. Fun times on a Sunday morning.

  1. The kids, of course, didn't eat them. Shocker! But DADable and I rather welcomed this as a new addition to our dining options!
