I found a lower calorie ranch dressing that does not taste like sugar.
Its by Bolthouse Farms and it is a ranch dressing made with yogurt!
The salad tastes amazing. I could eat this and be happy for a long time.
I went to Publix and got 2 chicken tenders, their garden salad mix which has carrots, tomatoes, bell pepers (all colors), radishes, chives and lettuce, got the dressing and some cheese and presto an awesome salad.
And for dessert we have fresh cantaloupe and low fat strawberry yogurt!
Today I would have chosen to throw the covers over my head and stay in bed. I slept very oddly with a lot of strange dreams.
Kaleigh was not feeling her best this morning so I gave her some Tylenol and got her some fluids (hoping to stop sickness before it stops) and got her ready for school.
Desi was non-compliant all morning, having sudden fits of crying all the way up to when I dropped her off at school just now.
I have a slight headache and I would rather be anywhere else than here right now but I am sure this will pass and all will be good. My second shift billing specialist called out for the 3rd night in a row and I understand she is sick, but I am so down staff it is not funny and I do not know who will cover this shift tonight. Maybe I can beg someone to do it. Pray for me.
Well on the good side Tony does not have school tonight so I will not be taking care of all 4 kids alone. I do have grocery shopping this weekend though *ugh*
Last night or this morning rather I was woken up by my cell phone ringing, it was my midnight shift staff calling me to let me know she was being rushed to the hospital.
Her chest was tight and she had pain radiating down her left arm, I called her this morning on my way to work and she said that she was given 3 nitro's and a patch and that they were doing tests on her.
I went to the hospital to drop off some of her stuff and a puzzle book and she was getting a stress test done so I dropped the stuff and left. On the way back to work I called my husband and he asked "are you ok?" and it all hit me and I unloaded on him. I was scared, not for Violet (don't get me wrong I was worried about her) but I was scared for me Violet is not that much older than I am (she is in her 40's) and I am heavy like she is and I was afraid that it would happen to me. Tony listened to all I had to say and said "Do what you need to I am here for you."
I am going to start walking in the mornings again and I am going to start eating healthy again, I need to do this I have noticed that I am not myself and I am achey and unhappy and I do not want to be unhappy anymore.
It started this morning when my girls would not get up and get going so I ended up taking my niece and nephew to school rather than the bus stop which made me late for work.
When dropping Kaleigh off for daycare the minute I pulled in the driveway of the school she started crying "no cool, no cool". I had to carry her into to school and drop her off I know she calms down the minute I walk out the door but it pulls at my heart strings and this is not the day for me I am already in a very teary mood.
Of course for the remainder of the day she will be all I think about.
I have the full on cold that my daughter has and I feel so cruddy. Even though I feel so bad I still had the time and chance to do something nice for an unknown person today.
For the past few months there has been an elderly gentleman at the corner of the road my job is on, he has been campaigning for McCain/Palin and I have been thinking "This is Florida and this older guy is in the heat everyday." So today I finally got the man a bottle of water and gave it to him.
Yes even though I might not agree with his choice of candidates I am still a kind person and will take care of a fellow being in this world.
