In desperate need...

I'm in desperate need today of some good old fashioned motivation. I can't seem to get my butt moving this morning. Maybe because last night sucked. Maybe because after 25 months of trying for a baby I gave up last night, and then I woke up to an awkward kiss from my husband as he left for work, or maybe its that I got 15 minutes with my daughter before she left for school, and she's my sunbeam.

Either way the last couple of days has had me not cooking anything new really, same recipes different day. Its getting close to the end of the month, which is always a stretch when you get paid once a month like we do. I swear I should take a before picture of my pantry and fridge, and then after at the end of the month. Its like night and day. I guess the good thing is that with all the yummy recipes I've discovered this month, there were leftovers each night, but they still got eaten. There wasn't any throw aways for the first time in a long time. I did however realize that I need to come up with some easy, quick dinners too. Though I feel motivated and refreshed as I plan my menu I sometimes don't feel the same when I'm looking at a huge ingredient list. So I guess that's my plan for the day, go through more recipes...oh yeah and the FUN tasks of cleaning our bathroom in the master bedroom. Maid please?!

I think that today I'm going to try out a recipe for tomorrow's blog, maybe baking will give me the motivation I need, or maybe just the little happy lift of making something out of a bunch of little things. Either way its time to wake up and get moving. Keep an eye out for the tasty treat tomorrow!
