Last night my family and I were crammed in our mini van coming home from Spring Break (Easter Weekend) in LasVegas with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a blast. The weather was AWESOME. My kids even got to swim in Grandma's chili (but worth it) swimming pool. By the way I kicked butt while in Vegas. I did not give into any sugar. That means that I walked past homemade cinnamon rolls, strawberry shortcake, those yummy ice cream pop cycles and candies in jars all over the kitchen. It was hard but I did it.
As we were driving I realized that I was surrounded by my families easter treats. The only treats that were in the mix for me were breath mints and wheat thin crackers. After about 5 hours of sitting in this situation I lost it. I grabbed an egg filled with reese's pieces candies and started to eat them. My husband looked at me with amazement. I told him, with tears in my eyes, that this really stinks and that I was going to eat some sugar. He said,"ok", and even shared one of his peeps with me. After I indulged he asked me if it was worth it. I said for the moment yes but not sure how tomorrow will look.
Well, It is tomorrow and this morning was a little rough. It doesn't help that we got home last night at 11:00 PM. We were all moving really slow this morning in our getting ready for school routine. I made lunches and failed to give Camryn her's, so she will be eating school lunch (which she hates). I could have been more patient with them but tiredness and sugar in the system is not a good combination. I love my kids so much. I hope that they can grow up to be the AMAZING people they need to be despite my short comings. Hopefully the rest of the day goes smoother!
Melissa, you are such a cute, amazing mom!! This blog is so fun too! I'm going to give this a try, I am such a sugar addict! ;)
