Okay remember I mentioned, either yestrday or the day b4, that I was losing my mind!
Have you ever tried those Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers? pop 'em in the microwave for 5 minutes and whallah! side dish ready in minutes. Well someone introduced them to me and I havent looked back. There very simple especially when you have a chubby 28 lb baby on your hip.
The first nite DC was gone I threw one in the microwave for dinner. Now let me tell you how dinner time goes around our house. I rush around trying to throw something together. Which usually consists of frozen chicken strips, veggie stix, and a quik salad from a bag. Toss a hand full on each of the paper plates, pour on some dressing, if the families lucky... I cut up more salad garnishments. If not, thats all they get. Some greens straight from the bag, more veggie sticks, cut up fruit and the chk strips. We eat this 99% of the time. DC hates it but he'll starve if he doesnt.
The family is just lucky they get food at night. Really!
When you have a stubborn, finicky, cry baby like Reagan as your child and between 5 and 6pm is her bedtime prep, u do whatever you can to keep her from screaming anymore for the day. By 5 pm I usually have a migraine the size of the reservation. ha ha ha.
A few weeks ago, one stressless evening, I decided to whip up a fresh homemade meal. We all ate and couldnt believe our tummies. Full to the max. First thing Dom said, "OH MAN, feels good to eat real food again." If that didnt sum it up I dont know what else would.
So back to my story. With DC gone its hard to get anything accomplished with Reagan. So I rushed around trying to get dinner on the table and forgot I put the valley fresh steamer in the microwave. Today Rhyan wanted leftover chicken. I opened the microwave and tahdah, stinky valley fresh bag sittin there staring at me.
Gross thing, besides the smell, it was 10 days ago that I nuked it! Blah! yuk!
(Excuse me, the babies screaming I have to go!)
