What did you all enjoy for lunch today?
…A grilled panini with with roasted red peppers and pesto?
…A beautiful salad with vegetables straight from your garden?
…Perhaps a bowl of homemade soup? I mean, naturally…we are entering the Fall season.
Wanna see what I had?
Ooooh, Lindsay…is that from one of those hip, artsy, minimalist restaurants?
No.
Mmmm are those bits of truffle I see?
No. Raisins and a little dog hair.
Oooh my, those steamed carrots in the back look simply divine.
Let’s zoom in a bit closer, shall we?
Steamed carrots? Oh. You mean these delectable goldfish, marinated in toddler drool and sippy cup backwash? Oh yes. I savored every last one.
Guess what I am having for dinner?
Cold pasta that has glued itself to itself with congealed tomato sauce on top.
Dinner’s at 6 but I’ll most likely eat it at 9 once the kids finally stay asleep after starting their bedtime routine at 6:30. I love eating pasta RIGHT before bed.
Oh.
And a GIANT glass of wine…
…Cheers to all the parents who drink cold coffee, eat cold meals, and stuff their face when they can. Now, go dive into that hidden candy stash while the kids are napping…I won’t tell.
Amen, momma!
