Stir-Crazy...

Hi Folks,

First I wanted to show you what I came out to when I got out of the shower this morning. Peaches took over my spot this time. LOL

I guess I have been spending entirely way too much time alone and it was starting to get to me yesterday. Hubby has been working a lot of OT because one of the other Captains is out for a while and that leaves me and the furry girls alone most of the time. When he works nights, he comes home at 7am and goes to sleep for a while. When he works days, he comes home tired and grouchy at 7pm and then usually goes to bed early. So we can't win.

My food yesterday
breakfast;

So I tried to keep busy, I changed the sheets on our bed, vacuumed and mopped the house, did 4 loads of laundry, ironed a bunch of Hubby's shirts, then started cleaning out the closet in the extra room. I have all our sweaters and jackets and stuff in there cause the house is so tiny, but I don't know if I told you or not but Maria (my step-mom)  is coming to live with us in a few weeks. I promised my dad before he died that she would never be alone and I would always look out for her. Well now is that time. It will be very squishy here but its just until we get our new house (where-ever that will be), then there will be plenty of room.

 Lunch; tuna, 1/2 cucumber and 1/2 avocado cut up, mayo, bacon bits cheese and onion crunch.

Then hubby came home at 1:30 with some junk food so I had a couple of his fried zucchini dipped in ranch.

The furry girls and I went for a 1 mile walk. Still a bit brisk over here but a very nice day.

Dinner was broccoli and steamed baby spinach with a tiny bit of salad dressing.

 And some of those Hourdervey thingys we got at Sams Club.

For some reason I felt like I was going stir crazy in the afternoon actually before our walk at 3pm. So here's where being alone got to me - that and I have been on my monthly the past 2 days. I ate a little bit of Clemmy's ice cream for desert but then I also ate 2 squares of 86% dark chocolate with some of my home-made peanut butter on top. I should have only ate one or the other but the alone-ness was REALLY getting to me.  I couldn't sleep that well either last night.

He has today off - the only one in a while so I made him some breakfast and he is taking a little nap after working the night shift and we plan on going to the movies today. That's what he wants to do and doesn't cost that much money because we are trying to be thrifty for saving for the new house.

Even though it appears that I ate really well all day yesterday, I feel like I failed at desert. I don't have a problem with not having snacks but I am starting to realize that I am having a problem with the daily sweets. That is why it is so great that we blog and share our BFC friendly recipes here.  WHEW!! OK- now I don't feel so bad.

Thanks for listening and have a great day.
