Day 7 The Week comes to a Close

Talk about the day to end all days. I am tired of these negative days. Fooey! #4 was up many times in the night and I was supposed to go in early to get some fasting blood work done. Notice I said supposed to. We had some light rain this morning, but with the low temps it was freezing rain. I was finally ready to leave at about 8:30 and got the 2 youngest in the car.

Our garage door opener is broken, so I had to get out to close it. As I was getting out, the van started sliding down our drive. I quickly got back in and parked the van on a flatter surface. We were on our way, or so I thought. I couldn't go more than about 15 miles per hour the mile to the highway. When we got to the stop sign I could see 3 cars off the road. One of them a big fuel truck. I thought to myself, if he's not driving on this, I probably shouldn't. Just then a Sheriff drove by, and shortly after another 2 police officers and 2 tow trucks. Hmmmm...I called my sweetheart who was already at his DR appointment and decided to turn around. It took 5 tries and lots of spinning wheels to get the van back up the driveway. By this time it was after 9:30. It was such an ordeal, I felt completely exhausted. I made myself some breakfast, fed the baby, and took a nap.

So, I missed my exercise appointment, through no fault of my own. It was not a total loss though. After lunch my sweetheart came home early. By that time I was starting to get a migraine. Just another one of life's little gems. I took ibuprofen, got a shoulder rub and we went downstairs to watch TV. While we were watching, I was bouncing on my exercise ball. So in a way I still got in my activity for the day.

Then we got the kids to bed. I hadn't felt much like eating earlier, so I made a late dinner of Chicken tenders with Citrus Salsa. Yum! The pictures all came out blurry, but I posted it anyway. Here's the recipe for the salsa.

Citrus Salsa
Orange Segments and juice
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Green Onions
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
Lemon juice to your liking I used about 2 or 3 Tablespoons
kosher salt

I am not a fan of sweet sauces on meat. This is not sweet, it is very tangy and super refreshing. I love it! Thanks Giada.
