Day 4: Running Around

Today was one of those days where I was out of the house all day long. Daniel had his first speech therapy session today bright and early at 8:00am, so my breakfast was eaten out of a ziploc baggie. Then we went to school 15 minutes late. Simon and I then ran lots of errands until Daniel was out of school at 12:30. Since we left so early I didn't have time to pack a lunch for me and the kids, so of course, I didn't get a lunch. I went to Walgreens for one of my errands and searched the shelves for something I could eat. I found the most wonderful thing: Kettle Corn! Sweet, light, crunchy! I was in heaven. I also bought lots of different kinds of nuts and some ground Flax seed (the main reason I went to the store. BOGO!)

While waiting for Daniel to get out of school I stopped at Sonic to get a drink. I looked through their menu only to discover that they had absolutely nothing on it that I could eat. They have removed all of their salads, so the only thing I could get would be a piece of grilled chicken and I wasn't paying $3.50 for that! (side note: I just looked at Sonic Allergen menu and saw that I could get any meat EXCEPT chicken and have been gluten free. Their tots and fries are also gluten free but they do not promise they are not fried in shared oil with things that do contain gluten). Unfortunately the Sonic parking lot is adjacent to Daniel's school so I will probably be sitting in it quite a lot while drinking a Cherry Coke.

During the dinner hour, I scheduled a massage so I was not home for another meal. I fixed Daniel a plate of food to eat in the car and I headed out. Any other month of my life I would have pulled into my second drive-thru of the day and ordered a really big burger or chicken sandwich. But not this month! No, I just sipped on my water and headed home at 7:00pm and enjoyed a nice salad : )
