Thursday (2/16/06)

Today was too busy! I know because I’m a stay at home mom I’m supposed to float around the house in a preppy little dress and perfect little pumps with perfectly styled hair while cooking and cleaning and giving sweet little kisses on perfect little noses. WRONG! I am not Mrs. Cleaver! While I do try to fit in the sweet little kisses on perfect little noses – I find myself making mad dashes through the house. I clean. But only what screams loudest at me. And then there were the 20 errands I needed to run for the kids’ school, my husband and my weekend job. So of course I got most of these done while still in my sweaty gym clothes because time only allowed for me to go to the gym first. Good news is during my errands my sister and sister-in-law called and asked me to stop in McD’s for a quick bite of lunch. So while the kids got to play for 20 minutes I had to make a very smart choice of what I would eat at the tajmahal of temptation. Did you know that the fruit and yogurt parfait WITH granola is only 160 kcals? I must report that it was a sweet treat totally within my nutrition boundaries! Hallelujah I have found some redemption at McD’s!!
