Selfish for the day

Four out of five days I have scrambled eggs with spinach and feta cheese for lunch. I usually make a bit more than my normal portion because inevitably, the kids will ask for some. Today however, when I was putting my eggs on the plate I noticed the portion would not be enough to share with the kids, so I started thinking how to keep them off my plate.

Alas! I put some hot sauce on the eggs and kept them off my plate! Hey, they had plenty food in theirs!

And that was my creative selfish act for the day ;o)

I don't buy chips but when I do I'll buy 2 bags...one regular flavor and one sea salt & vinegar. I do like sea salt & vinegar but I particularly buy that kind because I know no one else likes them!

This is a good thing for me to remember. There is nothing wrong with wanting a little something to yourself :)!

Well, I don't think a mom should be called selfish b/c she wants to eat her food. The boys inevitably want to eat my food, even if it's exactly what they have on their plate. I will usually say NO. So, I guess I'm just mean. :)

You are mean Amy! Just kidding... your food is going to one of your kids regardless....
