Yesterday my decision making skills weren’t up to snuff.
First, yesterday morning, Ina and I set out on a run to her daycare. It was mid-40’s so I wore shorts and a t-shirt. Had I looked at my phone I would have known it was supposed to rain.
About a mile out, the sprinkles and the wind started. Mid-40’s feels very different when you are wet. We passed many cars dropping kids off at a school nearby and I could feel every single one of those parents' eyes judging me and my parenting decisions.
I wanted to yell, “She is dry! This is a good stroller! It wasn’t raining when we left!”
I suppose it could have been worse. i could have been wearing a white t-shirt.
Later, after Ina came home, I was cooking dinner for small group and she was entertaining herself by going through my purse. She found a few chapstick tubes and a few of my spare contacts that I keep in there. I didn’t want her to mess with the contacts, so I taught her how to open the Chapstick.
Then I taught her how to put it on. What was I thinking?
She proceeded to smear the stuff all over her face and then shoved her finger down the tube, trying to get every last bit of it out. When I took it away from her, she threw a fit that only a fruity pebbles treat could quiet.
Comforting my child with food - another bad decision. Yikes.
Here’s to better decisions today!

Tip for the day: Need to feed a crowd? I had the below menu for small group last night. It was super easy and tasty!
5 ingredient crockpot sausage pasta sauce (I used the Italian turkey sausage from Aldi)
Noodles - both wheat angel hair and brown rice spirals
Greens with red onions, black olives, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, and this homemade dressing
Store-bought garlic bread
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Rice Krispy treats made with fruity pebbles
We all have those days! Thanks for sharing the recipes you use/find. I always get great ideas from you.
