Workin' Girl's Lunch:
Corn Salad with Avocado.
I made this in a flash last night. It is so tasty and so easy to throw together.
I used 3 cobs of corn, lime juice of three limes, about 8 cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, a tblspn olive oil, half of a celery stick and 2 tblspns green onion.
I had Violet, so I needed to prepare a lunch quickly so as to maximize time with her before bedtime. And most of the ingredients are staples in my kitchen anyway. The only item bought specifically was the corn. It has been an especially sweet and delicious corn crop this year, I can't imagine eating it cooked and smothered in butter/salt anymore. Fresh and raw is so much better.
After I made our lunches and after we played for a while last night, I put our beds together to have a kind of "slumber party" of sorts. She has been waking up a lot from nightmares lately, so I have been thinking of ways to comfort her at night. I do not like the idea of bringing my big girl into my bed -- it is just weird! And immature. Although, she does snuggle with me in the mornings sometimes or after a particularly bad dream but I do not encourage that kind of thing often (for her sake).
She fell asleep smiling and holding my hand. It made my heart melt. Putting our beds together - although mine was way lower than her's - was a great way to make her feel good, safe and special.
In General...
1. School drop-off continues to SUCK. I don't wanna do it, she doesn't wanna do it. It is always going to be a struggle until I can figure out a way to change our schedule. It is my mission!
2. I have been feeling kind of bad about myself lately because I let things get to me. There are some bad people in my life right now. I need to let it all GO and set myself free. Life is too short and I am too important.
3. Speaking of letting the little things go, I need to wash my hands of my weekend diet. I ate horribly this past weekend. I totally let myself eat junk - like candy and breakfast tarts - in the name of laziness. I brought good choices with me but I ignored them. Its not a huge deal that I slipped in some regular food but that I cannot get back on track now. It is Tuesday, time to get back in the game and not keep eating junk.
