WOW... These last 2 days seem like such a whirlwind. I thought I was going to loose my mind, I thought I already had, honestly I think I did. I absolutely LOVE my kids and couldn't imagine life without them, I would never want to go back, but there are some days I just need a break. I need "me" time. That's usually my workout times, but with 3 boys running all over the place, in and out, neighbor kids running behind them, freezing outside where no one wants to stay outside cabin fever sets in and every one looses control. The last 2 days were complete craziness. Breakfast was a total disaster yesterday. I attempted to use my brand new waffle maker for breakfast for the very first time yesterday. DISASTER. The recipe I used called for Baking "Powder" where I used baking "soda".. HUGE mistake. So we didn't get breakfast made until 10:30. Three kids running around starving, the kitchen looking like a bakery gone wrong, not a good combo. So I used a backup and just threw together bisquick. Even though it wasn't my first choice of making homemade waffle, it worked and it was better than frozen. The kids loved them. Then it took me more than an hour to clean up the kitchen from that mess. While I was busy fixing that disaster, I had our 3 boys, Kellyn, a nieghbor kid and some of Sean's friends running in and out and all around our house. UGH!!!! There were toys, cards, games, books, you name it in every single room of our house. Chaos. Worse than that, the kids were whinny because they wanted to go outside and play but they kept getting cold. So our front door ended up being like a swinging door, up, close, up, close, up, close.. I didn't think our heat would ever stop coming on. This lasted ALL DAY!! Luckly for me, I think Michael felt bad for me. I got to get out last night and go to fit club. Ahhhhhh... very nice. Good workout, good people, adult conversations, very good end to a crazy chaotic day.
However, because of my morning and most of the day being so hectic and chaotic, I didn't do good about keeping up with my calories and keeping up with my body signals of sugar lows. So, since I didn't get to eat breakfast until 10:30, after I made everyone else their waffle, I missed my hunger signals for lunch. About 12:00 I began to feel really weak, tired, sluggish. By then it was too late to stop it. I crashed hard. I began to feel dizzy & fuzzy in my head. I couldn't think, I found myself walking in circles. It's hard to keep up with 5 kids when you can't think. I didn't really feel hungry, but I knew something was right, so I made myself sit down and eat a granola square & some grapes with glass of water. All of the sudden I began to actually want lunch, crazy how that works. I made baked chicken and greenbeans, I'm kinda on a kick right now. I felt totally re-energized after lunch. But because of the day I had, not keeping up with my calories and not watching what I was eating, I didn't do well getting enough calories in. So today was a redo... next post.
