So, I can never seem to post on Monday. It’s our Saturday. Or Sunday. Or Saturday and Sunday all tied up together, the day we collapse into a heap.
So, Tuesday it is. This week at least.
We just had some of the busiest funnest craziest days. County fair, electronic wonderland mouse-hosted play space, two amusement parks, an overnight trip to family/friends house (a sermon written and delivered), all between Wednesday afternoon and Monday night. I don’t live like this. This is more than my kids do in any given year. This is more than my kids did in one three-year stretch between 2004 and 2007. Oh. And except for the final day, which included the second amusement park, my husband was out of town for these days.
What better chance than this for a Ministry of Reality blog post?
I thought I’d focus on today’s nutrition, continuing to bury my head in the sand over the who-could-count-that-high? number of hours of TV today.
As an indication of the depths of my exhaustion, the extent of the depletion of my energy and enthusiasm, and the heights of my apathy, I share the following:
Our lunch today is brought to you by the color white. In various configurations, my children have eaten white cheese puffs, white popcorn, and white macaroni and cheese (both the cheese and the macaroni are white). And Hannah kept the white theme going by drinking about a quart of milk today.
You know what is the craziest part of all? I feel compelled to justify the healthfulness of it all by sharing that the cheese puffs are all natural, the popcorn is homemade using organic, raw coconut oil, and the mac ‘n’ cheese is organic.
Puh-leeeeese!
My kids are now happily, contentedly ensconced on the couch, watching the day’s zillionth minute of TV, entranced in a white-induced stupor.
It’s a good day.
