Blah blah blah - kick - off?

Just felt a definate kick from the one I haven't been feeling so much from before. (10:43 AM)

Been feeling pretty blah the last few days and woke up in the middle of the night shivering again last night. Today it has been really hard to get moving, and yesterday felt pretty crappy most of the afternoon.

Made sheppard's pie last night - cheated on the mashed potatoes and used instant, minus the milk. Yael helped add the "spices" I was too lazy to cut up garlic so I used garlic powder and just for kicks I used Ms Dash to liven up the meat. Then I added a can of tomatoes that had peppers in it - what was I thinking. I couldn't de-spicify that and Yoni wsa NOT pleased.
Tonight he is getting a meal that includes brocolli and corn since he specifically asked for those veggies to be added last night, but it wasn't in my veggie profile for the evening - I wanted peas and carrots in my meat pie. And I made the cardinal sin of adding onions - which he claimed were what made it spicy - and I went with that - go ahead and blame the blanched onions for everything you don't like, kid!

This meal of course was not finished until the late hour of 8:45 since I expected Eran to go to the gym at 9:00. He didn't end up going, but I didn't get started on "dinner" until after 8:00 because the kids had eaten already and it was what I had been planning to make (in my head) for 2 weeks. Too bad it came out spicy - Eran and I liked it :) Also, the fact that Eran closed the store and I worked late and then had to go to a baseball meeting at the JCC - more late night fun. The upside is that I did manange to move Yoni to a team where at least he will know some of the kids. The team I requested to be on was PACKED to the gills with lots of familiar faces and I was irritated that I didn't get to put him on that team despite the fact that I requested it before the reg deadline was over.

Now, I am planning a meaty superbowl feast since I have already ordered a kosher deli lunch box special to be delivered that morning. Maybe I'll go with pigs in a blanket, the kids love 'em! And of course the requisite chips and salsa along with pretzels and potato chips. Maybe also a version of 7-layer dip with no cheese addded...And of course there's always potato or mushroom or beef bureakas with humus and techina and pickles and boiled eggs. Maybe I'll do deviled eggs and stuff them with hummus??? Or an egg salad to complement the deli???
Any other menu suggestions?
Plus, I'm not having many guests if at all - although all who show up are welcome!
