Recipes for Survival

First thing in the morning:  Protein shake (so I can put off actually chewing food until 11:00 or so.)

2c milk
6 ice cubes
1T cocoa
2T peanut butter
1 frozen banana
1 handful of frozen baby spinach

Blend it and enjoy.  Then lie down for a half hour or so while it settles.

Subway and Gandolfo's subs whenever I really need one.  And I mean NEED.  I've had 3 or 4...

3 bags of frozen tater tots to cook up whenever I get the urge.  I know, gross, but what can I say?

Homemade orange julius like we used to make when I was a kid.  I don't think I've had this since I was a kid, but it popped into my head the other day and I spent my last $7 for the month on oranje juice concentrate.

1 can orange juice concentrate
1 can milk
1 can water
1/2 tsp vanilla
a bunch of ice cubes.
Blend and share.  Add spinach if you want to be healthy.

And I was really craving a hostess lemon pie the other day, but Macey's didn't have them and the Hostess store was closed. I have since refrained from going there, and I think the craving has passed. Thank goodness! I usually have such an aversion to sweets during 1st trimester.

I also have to stay in bed at least until 8, and I usually have a nice long afternoon nap.

So glad it is summer so I can take it easy!

 

Since my dates were uncertain, we decided to get an early ultrasound today.  It was lots of fun.  We brought home the DVD they gave us and showed it to the kids after FHE.  We're all pretty excited!

I admit, I have had some moments of "What did I get myself into??"

But they don't last long, because I know. 

 I know that there's just nothing better.
