[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the world are you cooking that requires sweeping and mopping every single night? [/quote] Typical night: Fresh salad (washing and cutting lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cukes, homemade dressing) Seasoned and marinated meat (chicken fish steak) pan seared or broiled Vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli or fresh spinach, roasted or steamed. Mac and cheese made from real cheese (flour butter into béchamel and then melt cheese, so no craft) Fresh cut fruit like orange slices and berries Other nights we might make sushi, tacos, or pizza. We have a variety of ages and palates, and a couple vegetarians. And I’ll be honest my younger kids are messy eaters (despite constant nagging and punishment). [/quote] Wow, OP, I think you are trying to be Supermom (or Superparents), and it's going to be incompatible with either finding time to exercise or finding time to sleep. We all have the same 24 hours in our days. I manage to do things other people never find time for, and vice versa, but we all have to make our choices about what doesn't make the cut. Making dinners like this every night plus a bunch of activities plus an impeccable house is going to crowd out most other things. The reason I have time to sleep and exercise is because we take on a limited schedule of activities, do not keep an impeccable house, and can throw dinner on the table in 25 minutes. I'm fine with that but I know not everyone would be. Something is going to give for you, OP, but I think you'll be happier in the long run if you make an intentional choice about what that thing is, and not just have it happen to you.[/quote]
