Bleh...

So, I'm not sure if this blogging this is something that I want to do everyday...or if I'm just keeping up on it now because it's new.  BUT, if I were to skip a day, today would be it...

I went to bed last night with a headache...and woke up this morning with an even worse headache and it stuck around all day.  I also feel like since I'm nearing the end of my vacation and work is starting in three days that perhaps it is my turn to get sick...my chest feels heavy and my head is pounding...and I'm not sure that my tummy feels ok...so, I'm kind of a hot mess I suppose.  So, the kids and I pretty much stayed home and laid low for much of the day.  I sent them to my mom's house this morning where they stayed for all of about 30 minutes, and then came home.  So, thank goodness for Netflix!  This afternoon I could at least stand up without feeling like I was going to pass out from head pain so I picked up our house.  If you've ever wanted to visit (which I'm guessing from my description above of the potential plague I may be developing, you don't) today would be the day to do that.  You can see my carpet!  Like, all of it...and once again I had the discussion with my children about picking up their toys.  If they get something out, they need to put it away...and we're not getting our night time show until everything is reset back to clean.  We'll see how long this lasts.  Usually about a day...

So, my menu for today was sort of thrown out of the window.  I was planning turkey burgers for dinner, but not feeling so hot, we changed our minds...or the girls changed my mind for me.  Amelia requested potstickers and rice.  Em got out a box of Mac N Cheese.  I just wanted a sandwich.  So, feeling much like a short order cook, I got to work and served up dinner.  Now I'm sitting...and typing...and trying to get the umph to start my night routine...but I'm whipped...and my head hurts...and Emerson just ran past me with a bag of Scentsy samples flinging them around like she's a flower girl in a wedding.  So...one hour...my house was completely picked up for one hour...*sigh*

AND, a side note for those that wonder, I only weigh once a week (Wednesdays) at my WeightWatchers location...I got rid of my scale at home and it was the most liberating thing I've ever done! I was chained to that scale for a while and would weigh four or five times a day.  It was getting unhealthy and would predict the mood for my entire day.  I don't want that, so I Goodwilled it, and haven't had one since.  And I'm GLAD!  Plus it's a nice surprise every week when I go weigh in what it might be!  (Sometimes, it's a bad surprise, but we're going for that a lot less often now)

My food for the day:  Someday maybe I will wow you with amazing recipes and pictures of my creations...I think getting back on track is going to take me a little bit...and the overwhelming panic of going back to work has me a little down.  So, sandwiches are my go-to comfort food and are super easy for me to eat and stay within my points.  They'll be on my food lists A LOT! AND, I need to figure out how to upload pictures here...so...for now, you just get my creative wit with no illustration...

Breakfast: Deli Counter Turkey sandwich (the best deli turkey in the universe!  Check it out at Safeway...so yummy!) with mustard and miracle whip. 2% milk American cheese, and lots of onion (I love onion and use it whenever I can...sorry people), chili limon tortilla Popchips, and an apple

Lunch: 8 mini corn dogs with ketchup and mustard

Dinner: Same things as breakfast, except Salsa tortilla Popchips and no apple...

Dessert: Raspberries and cream with a little sugar
