Yesterday was hard, not because of trying to eat right, but I thought I would just grab a few basic foods at our local grocery. They were out of everything! They didn't have any jelly for the kids that wasn't pure corn syrup, they were totally OUT of Mayo, they only had a couple packages of questionable looking chicken. I bought some, and when I got home cut it. It smelled funny. YUCK...It totally threw me for a loop! I was really looking forward to trying this new recipe and had planned it all day. I panicked !! Should we call for pizza? Run to McDonalds? I had to think fast! Which was NOT easy with Willa clinging to my leg and screaming, Levi screaming about every small problem that he encountered, and Sawyer pounding his brother, which caused them both to scream.
I took out the old trusty ground beef. Sawyer loves tacos so that worked well. We had all the ingredients! The boys ate shells, but Justin and I had taco salads piled high with homemade salsa from last summer, sauteed onion and color peppers, lettuce, and cheese.
The rest of the day was similar to previous days.
Levi of course didn't want to eat tacos and went to bed hungry. Sawyer has been slowly planting his feet in deeper and deeper lately and this morning didn't want to eat breakfast. Augh. SOOOO frustrating. All day long yesterday it was clear they were hungry what with the amount of fruit they consumed. But fruit doesn't have many calories so they kept snacking all day. Any ideas of foods with good fat to fill them?
And we are in a dangerous game right now with hiding some things in food. They are suspicious. I know that's a big no-no, but what can you do?
Last night it became apparent why Levi was so crabby because he has a cold. I think Willa has one now too. Gosh, the kid ate about 10 oranges yesterday. This frustrates me because I like to think that the second you start eating right, no more colds!
Maybe it will be a small one?
Well, gotta go feed the chickens...Speaking of frustrating, they never lay very well, and we are down to about 6 eggs/38 chickens! Not cool. Since we are consuming about 6 a day, there are suddenly none to sell. Anyone want to buy stew hens????
