So I did some grocery shopping, and at closing time for the fish deli (I guess?), I picked up some fresh atlantic salmon. Farm raised. Yeah, I know it wasn't wild caught. But that stuff was 12.99/lb. Pocket book takes precedence over awesome salmon. This stuff was still yummy. 2 little filets cost me under $5. Yes, I had to skin it myself, however the flavor is just so much better fresh. I might get more.
So I had the salmon for breakfast with poached eggs and grapes, and for lunch I had the other filet with homefries. It was good! Not as eye popping as the recipes from the book, but good none the less. I really want to make the hollandaise with it for next week (note to self).
For dinner: An apple.
There's the problem.
Currently I have 2 hours per day of mandatory overtime at work. That gets me home at 630, and when I get home all I do is feed the dogs, feed my daughter and by that time I have maybe a half an hour to prepare something for dinner if I even feel like cooking. There is no stopping when you work full time and you're a mom. Because I'm lazy, I don't cook. I take that half an hour and unwind. I should really put that time away for when B is in bed, but then there are other requirements after bed time. I need to figure this out. This is a problem. I can't be having just fruit at bedtime. I think it's better than nothing, but I need to have something planned for dinner.
This will be a continued struggle between me feeling lazy and also my trying to be awesome and productive 99% of the day.
This is hard.
No, this is not hard. You can do this.
At the end of the day, I was wiped. I get up at 6 ish in the morning to feed the dogs, let them go potty, I start to get breakfast going, I feed B and get her ready for school, then I finish getting ready for work, we're out the door to drop her off at school and then I'm off to work.
So busy.
But I can do this. I need to do this. I need to figure out how to get some sort of dinner prepared.
We'll see how day 11 goes.
