Healthy Is Out The Door People

So it goes, healthy shmealthy is what the motto of the week. I am totally using the fact that Tarik was in TX from Monday to Thursday and then I get to take him back to the airport first thing Friday morning...oh and get him AGAIN on Monday. Yeah I am your airport taxi bitch. Yuppers I just love it.

So I will totally admit to not being as healthy as I should be. The kids are eating healthy but why not me? Why can't I take the few minutes to make sure I have a good breakfast and not dive into the ice cream carton in times of stress? I mean really, we all do it, self sacrifice...but at what cost? Who wins in this game? If we don't take care of ourselves then who will take care of everyone else? And if someone else is doing it you all know it will be just, well, WRONG!!! No one can do my job as good as me but if me is sick? Oh heavens help us all.

We must make time for our health and mental health, in the few hours Tarik is here I took off w/o kids. I was constantly thinking something was wrong or I didn't feel ok...I needed to be chasing a kid in Coffee Cat just to feel normal now? WTH? I used to dance on bars and close down the place and now if a kid isn't pulling on my pants I don't feel ok? AAAAHHHHHHH I didn't authorize these feelings, I received no memo that this was going to happen, did you?

I was only gone for one hour but it was an amazing hour w/a Momma I love and would stand in front of a moving freight train for. I mean I wouldn't give up my anti frizz hair cream for but I would consider it. So the lesson for today is if your kids eat healthy so the fuck should you. You will feel better, take a few minutes each week for yourself or you will go nuts. Just go to Coffee Cat, I will even meet you there, but just take care of you Momma, because most likely NOBODY can do it better than you.

Food Bytes...forgot this the last few posts, sorry about that!

When boiling potatoes for mashed or a potato salad always start in cold water and don't forget to salt that water too. Something about keeping the potatoes firmed up and not get all mushy. I think it's fine for mashed but if your making a potato salad your potato's will look nicer and not all broken and mushed up.

I promise my next post will be about brine ing your chicken and pork chops, oh hell yeah its worth it...
