Today is the last day of school for my babies. I am looking forward to being lazy with them this summer. No schedule - no problem. But that will have to wait a few days. Tomorrow we take off for another torture ride road trip.
We evidently lost our minds during the planning stages. We're driving about 14 hours to our lake house in northern Wisconsin, staying a week, then driving 14 hours home. Then two days later turning around and driving 9 hours to the beach for a week, then 9 hours back.
There is no good way to take a road trip without stopping at a convenience store. You need gas and if you're me, you need to pee. A lot. Which brings us to road trip food. My favorites- Combos, Slim Jims, Snickers, Mt. Dew - are all off the menu this year. Totally not going to do that to myself. So it will be 90 calorie granola bars, turkey jerky, and if I'm really lucky, a York peppermint patty and a diet Mt. Dew for me.
Pray for my road rage.
"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook." - Julia Child. Julia knew what she was talking about. "Diets" are for fools. What I'm talking about is a healthier way for me and my family to live and actually enjoy it. Who wants to live on rice cakes anyway? Give me real food and real exercise and I'll give you a strong, healthy woman who can still look good in 4 inch heels.
