After sleeping a whopping seven hours last night, I woke up ready to tackle the new day and pummel it into submission. Sadly, I think I was K.O.’d in the first round.
Upon remotely checking our voicemail at home, I discovered that I had to work at Lil-O’s preschool co-op because one of the other parent volunteers was sick. Quickly, I decided to fry up a Thai omelet…
…but unfortunately, I forgot to switch on the fan above the stove. As a result, my cooking set off our hotel room’s ear-piercing smoke alarm – and the whole complex was evacuated at 7:45 a.m. Gooooooooood morning, everyone!
Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up.
My morning at the school sped by. (Time flies when you’re changing small children out of urine-soaked pants.) Before I knew it, I was lying in my dentist’s office getting the unwelcome news that my gums are receding and surgery is imminent. Hooray! I have old lady gums to match my graying hair!
When I finally got home, I was hungry and stressed. Our dusty, floor-less house hasn’t been occupied in almost two weeks, so there was nothing edible in the fridge. I ended up grabbing some shelf-stable items from the pantry: a can o’sardines…
…and a pack of SeaSnax.
After gobbling it all down, I had a 15 minute window all to myself before I had to pick up the Double-Os from school. So naturally, I peeled back the foil wrap of a dark chocolate bar and savored it.
My Chocoholics Anonymous sponsor/fairy godmother is keeping my recent Chocosphere delivery under lock and key per my request. She’s also psychic: Today, she delivered two bars to my doorstep unprompted – wrapped in pretty pink paper and tied with a bow.
In the evening, we cheered Big-O at his baseball game before heading to dinner at Sancho’s Taqueria for the second night in a row (at the request of our 7-year-old slugger).
Tonight, the husband ordered the salad I concocted yesterday from various menu items (house salad with added carne asada, shrimp, and guacamole)…
…and I ordered a bunch of items a la carte: carne asada, grilled veggies…
…and guacamole.
Good stuff.
