This week is going to be quite the challenge for me.
Today and tomorrow are normal, average, simple-to-plan days.
Wednesday and Thursday though? I have parent-teacher conferences until at least 8 p.m. both nights. How am I supposed to make my soup without my stick blender? How am I supposed to meet with 16 sets of parents over the course of 2 days and not eat loads of chocolate? Wait, I’m going to have to bring powdered shakes to work to make.
So I have to plan.
Rather than powdered soup, I’ll bring containers of chicken broth to warm up. I’ll make sure my shaker bottles are clean so I can whip up a shake whenever. I’ll have my bars.
And, most importantly, I have the support of my friends at work, so if I get the urge to “cheat”, they’ll help me avoid it!
Besides, I’ve come too far to ruin it over the stress of meeting with a bunch of parents. They’re really not THAT scary…
And I have this sweet face to come home to.
Meet Zooey!
I love the chicken one at dinner & have a job that demands all kinds of hours. I bought a mini mixer that fits in my purse & the metal attachment blends the soup without splashing it up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E39LYO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
