Breakfast of Champions

It’s Wednesday. It’s cold. It’s gray.

The kids are off from school, but the alarm clock went off at 6:25 a.m. anyway. How did that happen? I went back to sleep and rolled out of bed at 8:40 a.m. only to discover the kids had made “cookies” using sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and peanutbutter. Apparently the floor was an integral part of the process. At least that’s how it looks.

Oh God. Slept so much and still so tired. Feel hungover. Bad, bad hair. Worse kitchen. Teacher conferences today----aargh!

I’m starting my day at the top of the food pyramid by eating Mentos for breakfast. I guess this means five servings of fruits and vegetables for lunch and eleven servings of whole grains for dinner. If I eat the peanut butter “cookies” with a glass of milk, will that count as protein?

You know, Mentos actually make a good breakfast—all minty and fresh when the rest of me is stale and rumpled. I'm counting on my shower to revive body and spirit. More later. Maybe.

So, it's 9:42am my times, that's 3:42pm your time. Hope your day improved and the conference went well.

I don't have any Mentos for breakfast, but I do have some frozen Jimmy Dean sandwhiches that I may just have to microwave.
Later!

Sounds like a good breakfast to me-- I had some coconut mini donuts (that I took in the other room in order to avoid having to share them with kids) and part of a cup of tea (which was not finished because I got sidetracked at least 4 times on our way out the door. In other words, a normal day). Actually, that sounds good. Now that I've worked and eaten lunch, I'm going to have some more donuts and heat up my tea from the fridge. :D

I think the floor cookies count as some protein. ;)
