The other day a colleague asked how I fit it all in … like sleep, for instance.  Well, last night after my son went to bed at 8:00 pm, I crashed on the couch about 30 minutes later.  So, that answers how I fit sleep in… I apparently cannot often stay awake past 8:30 pm.  I’m such the party-animal, eh?

And I’m far from perfect.  I noticed there’s a spelling error in my guest-post on The Single Mothers Chronicles.  I threw that in there on purpose… yeah right.  Oh well, “A for effort” I suppose.  

Today, after last night’s 8:30 pm bedtime, I got up and was still sleepy. However, I have 3 hours of meetings to start my day, then I want to hit the gym, then more meetings, then I need to rush out at quittin’ time so I can drive home and meet my guys for “family swim” at the YMCA that we just joined. 

After that I plan on making…. wait, who am I kidding?  It’ll be 7pm.  So we plan on either stopping for dinner or grabbing a Homemade Pizza Company  pizza.   Moms can’t cook all the time! 

I did make a great tomato bisque on Sunday.  It called for “peeling the tomatoes” which I’ve yet to ever do before so I allowed extra time.  It was easy… just score the bottom of the tomato and drop into boiling water for about 2 minutes.  Then place them in ice water to cool and then peel with a paring knife.  (Sounds much harder than it is).

I served this with a grilled ham & gouda sandwich with reduced fat mayo that I pureed with some basil and garlic to make a sort of “pesto spread”.
