It's the little things in life that give you a sense of routine and sanity.
Take for example, my nightly PopTarts and pint of milk. The PopTarts have to be Strawberry. I've tried to switch it up, but I never have the same satisfaction. And it has to be a whole pint of milk, less just doesn't work and more leaves me feeling like I have a brick in my stomach.
Timing. I sit down with 2 Strawberry PopTarts and a pint of cold milk as soon as both boys are asleep. I might check Facebook or write a blog, but the food and drink symbolize my "me" time. It's what gives me that few minutes of a break before I start trying to check things off of my To-Do list.
That's my routine. That's my sanity moment. It's the little things in life...

I do the same thing but mine HAVE to be brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. And the milk has to be ICE COLD.
ReplyDeleteAs coincidence would have it, I grew up on Pop Tarts but never eat them anymore (junk food). But I *just* had one at my sister's a few days ago. I heated it in the microwave for about 5 seconds and dipped it in my tea. So delightful.
ReplyDelete@the gnome's mom Brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts are the very best EVER!
