Okay, today is the test of all tests. Today is Kelly's dentist appt. I have told mom and Kelly that I didn't want to eat out today, so they should eat breakfast before I get to their house, and I would fix us something at my house for lunch.
The day started early, as Jim wanted to get to work early to save some parking spots for the guys that ride bikes. The parking lot at Jim's work was being repaired so they all had to park on the street. I had agreed to take the van and park it on the street to save some spaces for the other guys. Well as it stands we were too late and there were not to many spaces left available. So I continued on to mom's house.
I got to mom's house and Kelly and her were not ready. They haven't even eaten breakfast. I waited for them to eat because I wanted to stick with not eating out. We finally got out on the road and the tire on the van needed to be replaced. The tire was really feeling bad like the tread was separating or that it had a bubble in it. So I had to replace it today!!! The shop didn't open until 9am so we headed on to my house and I prepared the chicken for lunch.
I had found an awesome recipe for some chicken that was marinaded in olive oil, garlic, allspice, cinnamon, and onion. It was sort of like a Greek or Mediterranean flavor. I let Kelly and mom take a taste of some veggie lasagna that I had made previously. Oh man did it smell good, but no carbs for me, so I just had to let them eat it. *pout* I did fix myself some canned chicken with just a smell of mayonnaise for breakfast.
I got the chicken all prepared so we were off to get the tire replaced. After we got the tire done, I took mom and Kelly to the Enteman's store. Oh the bread and donuts and cookies oh my!!! I got some bread and some donuts for Jim. They were donuts that are not really my favorites so I can use my will power to stay out of them. We then headed out to the grocery store for a few things for mom. By the time we were done there, it was time to go to the dentist appointment.
We got to Kelly's appt about half an hour early. I was hoping that it would maybe get us in a little faster....well it was Western Dental....what was I thinking?!?!?! We sat there for almost an hour before they took Kelly. Right after Kelly went into the back, she came back out and told mom that they needed her in the back too. So mom went back and left me with all of the purses to watch. An hour and a half has gone by and still no word from either of them. I had to go outside because the only thing that they had on tv in the waiting room was Sponge Bob. OMG!!! I never want to watch cartoons again....okay just not Sponge Bob!!! I came back in about 40 minutes later, and they were still back there. By this time, it has been 5 hours since I have eaten breakfast. The 3 ounces of chicken that I ate at breakfast was GONE!!! I had no choice. I was getting light headed and I was getting a headache. The only food I had with me were the donuts that I got for Jim or the bread I bought with some onion mayonnaise. So the donut won the toss. I couldn't leave to go get something because I had mom and Kelly's purses. If they needed Kelly's insurance papers, or mom's bank account, I had them. So I ate ONE donut and a bottle of water a half an hour later.
By 2:45pm mom came out to ask me if I could wait for them to put another crown on Kelly then she would be done. The only other option was for her to come back again for another appointment. So you know my answer was put it on now. They said it would only take about 40 minutes. An hour later we were done.
At this point I have eaten 3 ounces of chicken and a donut. I wasn't hungry or starving but my body was telling me that something needed to change. Since Jim got off work at 4pm, I had to call him and see if he wanted to go out for dinner because we ran so late.
We all met at the house and then went to BJ's for dinner. I got an appetizer of chicken lettuce wraps and ate 4 lettuce leaves. I have to admit that I splurged and got a pomegranate margarita with no salt and on the rocks. Now I haven't had any alcohol in....I can't remember. Since I hadn't really eaten anything all day, my stomach was empty and the alcohol hit me. I could feel my cheeks flushing. Wow what a feeling. But it went away after I ate the appetizer. Too bad, I have been teasing Jim about getting me drunk and taking advantage of me since we were married 12 years ago. Maybe next time. LOL.
It was time to order, I ordered the Parmesan crusted chicken with a small bowl of clam chowder. I had every intention of taking the chicken home. You know what....I did too!!! After I ate the bowl of soup, I was done. I did however finish my drink!!! No dessert either!
We finally got mom and Kelly home, did a few things for mom, then headed home. Boy was I tired. It was well past time for me to go to karate, so Jim and I snuggled up and relaxed at home watching the tv.
All in all I stayed within what I should have eaten except of the donut, but that was a necessity and there was no way around it. So day 4 I am going to call a success for the most part.
