My lunch

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch this morning, okay so it was 11:30...still morning. We went to a local farm and walked out in the field with a plastic "cart". The cart was so short that I had to bend over, I think that these are children's carts. Ella was very particular about all the pumpkins she looked at. She would yell and scream that she found "the perfect pumpkin", then after I cut it from the vine (with a dull steak knife provided by the farm) she would decide against it. After doing this for a while I started picking pumpkins for everyone else. She finally decided (after some convincing) that she would get 3 small pumpkins instead of one large. So we headed back with the midget cart and our dented and dirty pumpkins. When we got to the register to weight them I noticed one of the pumpkins had a punchier and was dark in color. I asked the women at the desk if they had any other pumpkins there that I could pick from. She then told me that the huge line of perfect clean pumpkins right in front of our car where the same price...agh!! So I picked a pretty one. Ella in the mean time found tiny pumpkins and decided that she wanted to barter some more, so she traded in 2 small pumpkins for a small pumpkin. When we got in the car it was 12:15, and school starts at 1pm (be there by 12:55). So the great mom that I am I pulled into Wendy's and got 2 kids meals with nuggets and milk. I had one more stop at UPS to send a contract for Mark. Then the kids ate in the car, and drove to school. Ella was so excited about the "baby pumpkin" and Andrew is excited if she is excited, so it was great.

I was so tempted to get a chicken salad and soda at Wendy's today. I just hate that I am not the body shape I want to be. After putting Andrew to sleep I scrambled 5 egg whites, and made some green tea. I still feel hungry, so I am hoping that it goes away. I ran 5 miles this morning, and it felt great. I really feel like the exercise doesn't make a difference in my weight loss, just the food...I hate that!!
