Breakfast - oh how I dislike you!

Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. I understand that but when you are a mother of 3 kids ages 5 and under getting breakfast into mommy is a little hard sometimes. I make sure that my kids always eat breakfast but I don't usually find the time to eat myself.

All my kids wake up at the same time, we go downstairs and I put Jax in his swing (by this point he is screaming!) I try to get the older kids to tell me what they want while I make Jax's bottle and once I get them settled I feed Jaxon. By the time Jax is done eating the older kids are done so we move on with our day and I just don't stop and take the time to eat.

This morning I made myself eat and I discovered I can eat a granola bar and drink a cup of milk standing up with a sick 2 year old on my hip while bouncing Jax in his bouncy seat and Bella dancing around asking 100 questions about our day.

I also really don't like breakfast foods so I hate "wasting" my Weight Watcher points on this meal. I know that it is supposed to boast your metabolism though so that is going to by my goal for the rest of this week - to eat breakfast every morning! Lots of goals....I think I can....I think I can....(can you tell I have a little boy obsessed with trains? we talk trains all day long!)

Already I know my goal for the next week will be to exercise at least 3 times. I can't even attempt it this week with one child on day 4 of the flu and still not better and the baby has a ear infection and is super fussy so I will put that one off till next week.
