The latest lunch boxes

Sometimes Kyle has lunch meetings and sometimes he’s home for breakfast so what I pack for him varies.  I just ask him about his schedule the night before and what meals he wants.   Last week I made a bunch of breakfast burritos for Kyle.  I assembled them and rolled them up in foil all at once so I could just throw them in his lunch box the night before.  So easy. I am seriously sorry about the photos, but there’s only so much you can do with an iphone at 9 pm.  For the… Read more >

Weekly Recap

This week was fun.  Busy and not busy in perfect amounts.  One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts.  It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done.  And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself.  It’s lovely.  Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts   Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

Workity work

Hey!  I’m alive!  Ish. This week was crazy.  [Life is crazy]  So many emotions.  Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing.  Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another.  And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another.  All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit.  I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that).  Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

The last weekend

Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc.  So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom.  It’s sad.  I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away.  But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role.  I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day.  I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >

Lunch Lady

Kyle’s coworkers tease him (in a fun, non-mean way) about his healthy vegetarian lunches.  Apparently he’s the organic, non GMO hippie of his office, just like I am in mine. 🙂 Now his colleagues are wondering when I’m going to start packing food for all of them.  Which I’m considering a victory for veggies everywhere.    Thanksgiving leftovers on quinoa.  Oatmeal & snacks.   Spaghetti.  Crock-pot potato chowder (recipe coming).   Pita SB&J with organic Swanson sunbutter and home-made pluot plum jam.   18 Rabbits gracious granola packet with organic vanilla greek yogurt. Scrambled mish… Read more >
