I just bought a few shirts from shade to try out and they are adorable. I have a work dinner tonight since I feel so yucky in the evenings I'm going to wear my maternity pants. Hopefully noone notices!

Is Shade a maternity brand?

I feel miserable today, but can only blame myself. I'm lactose intolerant, and woke up so hungry that I ate cereal since I was in a hurry, then got in the car for the hour it takes me to take kids to school and make it home. I swear, I never learn.

Ugh I ate a gas station taquito (sp) from hubbies store for breakfast this morning and omg I have been so sick. Also I'm pretty sure that I have a fever its not looking like a good day today.

That stinks. Thursday mornings I work ( I work 8 hours a week- 4 on Thurs morning and 4 on Friday night) and so I just grabbed some banana bread as I ran out the door and man I cannot stop burping the banana. But on the flip side, I have my sour patch kids and man the sour is sooo good. I don't even want to eat the gummy part, it is just the sour sugar that makes my stomach feel better!

I have had such a hard time planning meals, grocery shopping, and finding the motivation to actually cook. We are out of food so DH and I will go shopping tonight and I cannot come up with anything to eat next week. I normally shop for 2 weeks and don't go to the grocery in between then. I think it is starting to take its toll on my poor family. The only thing I want to eat is cereal at night so it leaves DH to cook and they have been living off of spaghetti, hamburger helper type stuff, and pretty much plain chicken. I think I am going to try to suck it up when I get off and make some chicken and dumplings for them since I know the girls will eat that and it sounds halfway good.

I have been struggling with groceries and meal planning too! I'm not really sick, but some things definitely dont sound good. It's hard to know in advance, so I just have a bunch of randomness in my house, not the best for meal planning and I really hate going to the store right now. But I think I have to tonight

[keonli]

I actually haven't cooked from scratch since March. Everything just looks and smells so gross, especially raw meats. I know I'm going to sound spoiled, but my mom and sisters have been giving me food to bring home. My older sister stocked my freezer with frozen foods last week. DH has been cooking small things for DS and helping to prepare his lunch, but I haven't been able to eat a complete meal since March. I snack throughout the day, though.

Sorry it's been a rough start today mamas. I almost threw up at Target so i totally feel you. Hang in there.
