And now the fun begins

As of tomorrow, I will be working for a new company.  Gone are the weeks when I could spend some time at home without the little person, or husband - and so gone is the time I had to faff about preparing meals.

So now, we either have to be amazingly organised, or it's every man, woman, and child for themselves.  I vote for organised.  T has made lunch for us to take to work tomorrow, and we have discussed morning faffing about like headless-chicken arrangements.

The plan is that we will be getting up at 6am, after washing / dressing etc, he will head down stairs to concoct breakfast, and I will get B up.  Hopefully I will have enough time to feed him, change him, clothe him, and bring him downstairs before bolting some food down myself, and scarpering out the door.

Hopefully I will also have enough time to brush my hair too - and to remember to do so.  Since I regard rising before 6am as positively barbaric, I wish to avoid doing so at all costs*.

T was very down last night about not being able to just slap something easy in the oven and slump in front of the TV until the timer goes off (e.g. oven-baked southern fried chicken and potato wedges).  I get it - it's a pain in the ass for me too, but I do know that obviously if I really, really wanted to, I could just say sod it, and tell him to fend for himself as I would be eating the meal above.  Naturally, I am not going to do that.

The cauliflower rice worked brilliantly yesterday - quick and easy, and according to the carb counting book we have, cauliflower is nowhere near as carby as actual rice.  I think the spike he had might have been the Beanfeast - there was 25g of carb in half a packet.  He will have to try both the rice and Beanfeast with alternative things, or on their own to see what happens.  I hope the cauli rice is okay - I actually really liked it, and it didn't leave me feeling heavy like rice rice can.  perhaps I just eat too much of it.


*All costs does not include being fired for tardiness, however, so there is a little wiggle room for getting up 20 mins earlier than that if I absolutely have to.
