Diary of a Confused Mom: September 9th 2015

After returning home from T's soccer practice and showering both boys, I set out to make a great (grain-less) dinner and prepare lunchboxes before O and his dad got home from football practice.

As I fried chicken covered in almond meal in one pan, and grilled chicken tenders in another, I also pulled out several ingredient to prepare rice-less sushi. It 's a juggling act in any case but with a hungry 8 year old lurking around and a toddler trying to squash some ingredients and devour others, it was becoming a nightmare.

In an attempt to get them off my back, I asked T to dress Little Z in his pajama. He was reluctant at first but then obliged. I had never realized what a lengthy and detailed process pajama wearing could be.

It was extremely amusing to watch. It took T at least 10 minutes to get his brother dressed. He kept reassuring him throughout - that his face wouldn't remain covered forever, his hands would eventually appear from inside the sleeves and eventually each foot would go through the correct opening.


I had enough time to get most of dinner and the lunchboxes ready without a hassle.
