Yesterday started out innocently enough with a cool(er than usual) morning that required coffee (decaf, of course).
I also ate half a Thomas’ whole wheat bagel with a couple globs of peanut butter with a banana. An entire banana was consumed despite what the picture might suggest.
I should have stopped the day here, but no such luck.
Because from there I discovered a disaster happening in the pantry which required me to empty the whole dang thing out.
Oh, and throw away the entire left pile on the left. Details later.
This caused me to lose track of time, so Hailey missed her morning nap.
This all snowballed into a missed workout, followed by an almost missed lunch. Almost.
Had to get in my greens for
Hailey got high fived and called a cute little fellow at least twice. Sorry pumpkin.
The afternoon flew by, resulting in a half-assed nap from the munchkin, scrubbing down walls for me and a missed walk with a friend.
A bright spot appeared in the form of Wholesome Goodness Chocolate Almond drink. Mmm.
But then it was 6:00 and I had to cancel another planned date with friends. Sigh. David arrived home, I was starving and didn’t have the slightest desire to cook. Luckily, he’s not too difficult to persuade when it comes to
We ordered the shrimp fajitas (no rice, double beans with a side of lettuce). Side of lettuce? Because I skip the tortillas in favor of a mini salad.
No worries, I managed to eat my body weight in chips and salsa to make up for the lettuce.
Another trip to Lowe’s, then home. Followed by ANOTHER trip to Lowe’s because I’m awesome at project planning like that. Then after 3 Hershey’s dark chocolate kisses (unpictured because I’d given up on the day by that point) and a 2 minute wall squat (because I was challenged on twitter, duh), it was time for bed.
…after watching a Twilight Zone of course, because David is still trying to win me over with those. I’m not sold.
And that. Was my day.
Mexican solves all my woes.
What can always brighten your day?
Kathy says
Sorry you had a rough day. We all have those now and then. Today is a new day and I hope it is joyful for you. I LOVED your comment about eating your body weight in chips and salsa! That is me too. Any time we eat out our first choice is ALWAYS Mexican for some reason and I can’t stay out of the chips and salsa! Have a fun day with little Hailey!
Shari says
Oy, what a day. I hope today is much better for you!!
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
I think I would cry if I had to throw all that food away! Sorry about your rough day. 🙁
Adria says
So what did happen to the disaster pantry? LOL… Sorry you had such a bad day. It happens to the best of us! Keep up the good work!!
Amanda Perry @ Sistas of Strength says
Ants?
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
Fresh tortilla chips and salsa make me happy too! I could seriously just order a margarita with complimentary chips and salsa and call it dinner! Yeh, I’m a cheap date! 🙂
Brittany says
We’d be great dining companions 🙂
blackhuff says
It will pass when your daughter’s hair grow longer. My daughter also got called a “boy” when she was small 🙁
Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family says
What brightens my day is coming home from work and having my 2 year old daughter run towards me with a huge hug. That takes away anything that was making me less then happy.
We all have those days with hiccups hopefully today will be a better day and involve less trips to Lowes 🙂
christina says
A mormon nap!? HA!!! Oh man, did you have ants?
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Whatever that pantry situation was/is it does not sound fun! We’ve been inundated with big ants all of sudden. I think it’s because it was so warm out for the past 2 weeks and now it’s back to freezing and they want in! I walk around my house with my “ant scanning eyes” now ready to kill at moment’s notice.
Lauren B. says
Ew, what a sucky day. But at least it makes for an interesting blog post! And I can’t believe you left us in suspense!!! :). Tomorrow?
Eli says
I thought the way you wrote this post was so funny. Can’t wait to hear about the pantry, if anything you get it cleaned and organized (something that is on my to do list) Love your side braid and Mexican can also solve everything for me…especially chips and salsa.
Jen says
yikes! i’m interested to hear this pantry story. i’m sorry you had a bad day. you still managed to eat some delicious food though! 🙂
Sarah says
Oh shoot! Sorry you had a bad day. At first I was thinking mice (we’ve had mice a couple of times UGH!)… but that doesn’t seem like it would require 3 trips to Lowes so now I’m REALLY curious. Hope things are better today!
Lisa says
Haha oh auto correct. I always say I hate it, but I secretly love it. What else would I do with my free time than to look at other peoples mis spelled texts 😉
Emily McIntyre says
Mexican pretty much always brightens my day too. Enjoyed your post; sorry for the bad day! Sometimes it’s just that way, isn’t it? I came down with a super sore throat and general malaise yesterday and at the end of the day my hubby took charge of the little one and sent me on to bed. Glory.
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
I’ve definitely had those days where you run to he store, go again then again. I feel for ya! Mine didn’t involve a baby missing a nap too, so you win 🙂
A massage from the hubs always brightens my day. And chocolate 🙂
Heather S says
Just wondering if you’re still having luck with the sleep suit? I just ordered one for my 3 month old and can’t wait to t and get rid of the swaddle..
Brittany says
I am! We still use it every night and she is suit-less at nap time, so I think it’s really helping her transition out of needing any help. I’m hoping in the next month or two we won’t need anything. Let me know how it works for you!
Aylin @ Glow Kitchen says
Well, despite the shortcomings of the day, it seems you ate well and got to carry around a beautiful baby!
A sit-down dinner with lots of wine always brightens my day.
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Sorry for your crazy day!!
And I swear, every friend of mine that has a baby says something similar … if it’s a boy baby, people call the baby a girl. If it’s a girl baby, people call the baby a boy. It’s just the way the world works, it seems haha!
Jen@FoodFamilyFitness says
Yikes. Whatever the pantry situation was, it sounds pretty bad and I hope it’s all better today!!!
Lauren says
Yikes, I hope you didn’t have pantry moths!! We had those about a year ago and it was brutal. Hoping the pantry situation is getting better!! A beach walk can always brighten my day but we don’t exactly live near the beach…so I would be with you. Margarita with chips and salsa!
Christina says
Ha!! Love that she loves her veggies! I always wonder how difficult it is to get babies to try veggies, you make it look so easy 🙂
Megan says
Mexican definitely solves everything! Always. I love that you made it into a salad. So smart!
