Bad Days equal Bad Choices

On Sunday we turned or clocks back one hour. Why we do this, I have no idea. Personally the entire changing the clocks forward and backward one hour should be abolished. It only leads to issues for those of us with little ones.

It was a very rough night for the youngest member of my family as we tried to change her internal clock to the new external clock. It made her miserable and myself miserable.

It made for a long night, which would mean the next day was going to be a long day. Naps were a mess and she was becoming over tired.

I decided I needed that coveted bottle of Pepsi (did I mention before this became my crutch that I was giving up. I use to only drink a can of pop and that would take me all day, now I was drinking it by the bottle). I packed up the little miss and ventured over the nearest corner store and I broke down and bought a bottle of Pepsi.

I got home and drank that bottle all day long. Odd thing is I started to get a really bad headache soon after. I had headaches prior but never once thought it was induced by the pop I was now drinking.

I became filled with shame that I had broken my no pop vow.

I am going to make sure it never happens again and will find something to consume instead on the bad days.

November 2-7 Meal Plan

A little late, but better than never.

Here is the meal plan, for dinners only currently, that I followed this week.

November 2 - Mini Turkey Meat Loaves with white potatoes and a garden salad
November 3 - Pulled Pork on rice with broccolette
November 4 - Spaghetti and meatballs with a garden salad
November 5 - Gluten Free Bubble Pizza with a garden salad
November 6 - Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken with white and sweet potatoes and mixed vegetables
November 7 - Sloppy Joes with fries and a garden salad

If you head over to my Adventures in Cooking Gluten Free you will find my families review of the meals along with information about meals I will never again make because I found them personally gross and meals that I am working on improving. Also I will admit if it was the cooks error that a meal did not turn out (it does happen and I am not ashamed to admit it).
