Green Smoothie - avocado, banana, apple, spinach, lemon

This morning I got out up on the wrong side of the bed. I am a grouch and I hate being this way.

I had to put money into the judgement jar for lashing out at Oscar. He has been sitting in the chair in the living room for the last two+ hours reading different books, while I made and served him a delicious breakfast, an ok smoothie and then picked up and vacuumed the house.

I love that he reads! I love that he is learning and enthusiastic about it, but on this grouchy morning, I really just wanted to workout (which I don't like to do in front of him). I also wanted to listen to music!!! I could have used headphones, but yah, instead I lost a quarter. I should have read my Bible, but did not.

phew. I feel a little better now. It is 8:30am and I am going to get a lot of great things done today. Working out is going to be like medicine this morning - I need that stress reliever. Then I get to shower and look cute.

Comments:

I liked this a little better than yesterday's, but nothing to write home over. The apples gave it a nice taste. I didn't end up finishing yesterday's smoothie because it was too creamy. I think tomorrow we are doing one w/o avocados. This was creamy as well and also lacked flavor.
