Oh man, one blog post a week just isn't going to cut it. Last week was CRAZY here! The big kids started school, and they are both having such a great experience. Reese started third grade, and this is the first year in a while that she has started with friends in her class. She was super stoked to start school, and, we're four days in and she hasn't cried about waking up once. She hates mornings like you wouldn't believe, so no tears is amazing. Camden started kindergarten, and he's doing well. At least that's what they're telling me (insert winking emoji). After school on the first day I go to pick him up, and we find out there was a minor 'crossing of streams' incident, and he ended up peeing on a friend. Yikes. But, we haven't heard of any other problems, so we are just going to call that a case of first day jitters and hope that our first full week goes smoothly.
I also went with a few friends to see the Rascal Flatts concert, and it was such a great time! Almost as good as the people behind us. Ha! Let me tell you, if you're going to whisper dirty things in the hot girls ear you should first be sure of two things.
1. You should be sure that you're the guy she's going to go home with, and not your good buddy.
2. You should be sure that you are, in fact, whispering.
It was so crazy! Every time I turned around it was like couple swap. The first time it was plaid shirt guy and sleeveless vest guy dirty dancing. The second time it was sleeveless vest guy and black dress girl basically needing a room. The third time it was plaid shirt guy and black dress girl all over each other. I'm curious as to who went home with who that night. If I could redo the night I would definitely have worked my way into the friend group just to get the gossip.
In other news, I am having some major pre surgery anxiety. I feel like a walking, talking basket case. It's not even the surgery itself that scares me, it's the recovery. It's a big recovery process, and it requires me basically handing over my entire job to Mark. You know, my husband who also has a full time job. I'm nervous for him. I do a lot of stuff during the day/evening, and he has to take it all on, and it's basically the equivalent of a full time job. So I guess for the next few weeks he will have two full time jobs. The past week he has been such a rockstar. Every time I feel myself getting nervous he's there, he's totally done every project that needs to be finished, and is overall being so supportive, and it really is giving me the confidence to feel like these next few weeks are going to be great, and that he will be able to handle it. I am so lucky to have someone so supportive in my life.
Onto meal prep. Blah. Here's my plan. I need healthy lunches for the next two days. Wednesday and most likely Thursday I will be in the hospital, and Friday I can figure out something (you know, like sending Mark out to get me Thai food). So, for lunch I will make ground turkey with steamed broccoli and squash, in Rotel. It kind of looks like vomit, but tastes so good.
For dinner I have tonight worked out, tomorrow is a mystery, Wednesday I will be in the hospital, and Thursday and Friday will come from my freezer, for sure. Tonight is so good, and so simple! Do you guys ever eat chicken sausage? I love the Alfresco brand, and they have tons of different types. So, tonight is going to be crazy busy, and I am going to have to make dinner late, and it needs to be quick. I sauté up the chicken sausage with peppers and onions, and serve it over noodles with parmesan for the kids, and just plain for Mark and I. I usually eat two links because the protein is kind of low on only one, and it's still super low in calories and carbs.
This is getting long, I'll wrap it up. Mondays are the best because it's a fresh start. Screw how badly you did this weekend, celebrate your wins and keep going on that high.
