Hangin' In

Things have been kind of rough in my household this week and it's only Tuesday. While I posted yesterday about the silver lining, the end didn't end on such a positive note. I guess it was around 10 pm when I got the munchies. Know what I ate? Two Reese's peanut butter eggs.

Today started out rough because I overslept and my youngest was home sick again. This time with a low grade fever. Between trying to care for him, get myself motivated, and the housework, things started falling apart. I was in a meeting for work (I work from home) this afternoon and I ate 3 peanut butter eggs! I was bored and I knew it. What else was there for me to do? What do you do in situations like that?

I always get the munchies between 2-3 pm and then again after dinner. I have healthier alternatives in the cabinets but I never think of them when I'm rummaging around trying to find a snack. I think I'm going to start keeping a bag next to my computer with healthy snacks in it. Those that don't have to be refrigerated that is.

So, that's the day I've had in a nutshell. It's creeping up on that time of night when I usually get the munchies and dinner isn't even finished. Everyone's had a rough one so at least I'm not alone. Keep hangin' in there and it will come is what I keep telling myself. I need to learn to be more patient.
