When I have an energy spurt, I feel like I can complete every single task on my to-do list (which seems to grow by the minute). But, when that spurt is gone...I'm done. Count me out. Finished. No way I'm getting back up. My eyelids get heavy, my feet and ankles swell a tiny bit, and by belly feels like it weighs 498 lbs.
So, I've been taking advantage of the energy I can find sometimes, and I've been researching recipes and actually making them. There are many times that I find a recipe and neglect to try it, forget about it, or just plain give up on. But lately I've been realizing if I find a recipe I have all the ingredients for on-hand, then I just get up and make it. This morning, I've already made some "No-Bake Energy Bites" and it's only 10:13 am. The thing is though, these things are the easiest things in the world to make. Seriously. And, by tweaking a few of the ingredients, you can make them pretty healthy. You know, since your kids, you might lick the spoon around 23 times just to make sure they taste okay.
Make them now, thank me later. You know why you'll thank me later? Because you can double the recipe, throw the extras in the freezer, and you have snacks that will last you a month or two. Believe me. When you're searching through your pantry for something to snack on, you'll be so grateful when you realize you have ready-make, healthy snacks awaiting in the freezer. You're welcome...later.
The rest of my energy is being put towards finding a bigger car. Yep. I just bought a car when Dean was born. I've only had it a year. I LOVE it. But I need more room thanks to the Surprise Smith growing in belly. :) So, I think the old car is getting cleaned up and might be accessorized with a brand new "FOR SALE" sign in her front window. She'd look good with that, wouldn't she? And to answer your question, no. I'm not getting a minivan. Thanks. I'm thinking something more like this:
Purrty, right?
We'll see how it goes.
Hey. Go make those balls. You'll love 'em.
Those balls look good - you're such a homemaker! And yes, the car is cute...defintely needed with your growing clan - although it does look quite grown up! Certainly not a minivan though.
