not a grocery trip to be found<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe’re out of milk.\u00a0\u00a0 And we’re down to one egg which I’ve been guarding like Gollum-with-his-gold-ring (Precioussss, PRECIOUSSSSS!).\u00a0 I sent the last fresh fruit in the house off in the kids’ lunches yesterday (an apple – sliced and divided among the two).\u00a0 It reminds me of the time when I was doing the Adkins’ diet.\u00a0 And I felt like I would KILL for a piece of fresh fruit.\u00a0 Like I would kill everyone AND the horses they rode in on for a piece of fresh fruit.\u00a0 Just one piece of fruit.\u00a0 Kill ALL the people and horses.\u00a0 Ok, cutting that trip down memory lane short.<\/p>\n
But thank GOD that juice and Cliffbar fruit-rolls are considered servings of fruit, ’cause otherwise I’d be a cheap AND a bad AND a tripping down memory lane mother.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, I had to break out the spicy, pickled green beans (originally intended for a Bloody Mary accoutrement) to pack in the kids’ lunches today as “a veggie” since I used up the final three carrots in last night’s ham-and-navy-bean soup (I also used up that weird ham bone from Easter which I’m so pleased about because – Ugh.\u00a0 That thing is just nasty looking.\u00a0 I shudder to even think of where that belongs on the pig).<\/p>\n
And I sent Hubby off to work with left-over rice, green beans and bacon wrapped-shrimp from two nights ago.\u00a0 That dinner was an epic fail with the kids but Hubby hasn’t had it yet because he was out-of-town when it\u00a0went down.\u00a0 I sent off the rest of the key lime cheesecake squares with him too.\u00a0 I made enough to feed an army (which, turns out, didn’t want to be fed key lime cheesecake squares).\u00a0 Some squares already went to Sissy’s end-of-year book club party…now the rest are going to his co-workers in my first “little lady at home sends treats to hubby’s co-workers” move.\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but those pompous “little lady at home” presents always made me resentful and filled me with hatred in a GET A FRICKIN’ JOB! sort of way.\u00a0 You too??<\/p>\n
But we’re finishing strong on this end.\u00a0 A pound of frozen hamburger is being turned into sloppy joes tonight.\u00a0 The Final Four (rolls-in-the-freezer, that is) will be used too.\u00a0 A salad-which-is-all-lettuce-all-the-time-with-maybe-some-flecks-of-red-onion-which-is-technically-considered-a-veggie will be served as well.\u00a0 And what for dessert?\u00a0 What for dessert?!\u00a0 What can I make for dessert with one PRECIOUSSSSS egg?!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
