Mrs. Balabusta has a slow day

Mrs. Balabusta has been running around lately like a chicken without a head, but much better looking.

However, since we are having a slow day, relatively speaking, I have the chance to update on the Life and Times of Mrs. Balabusta. I know many of you are wondering how Mrs. Balabusta manages to fill the hours of her day and week and still breathe, eat and -occasionally- pee, (in that order) I will below summerize the list of paying jobs I have:
  1. Float Nurse, Ambulatory Clinics, Famous Pediatric Tertiary Institution.
  2. Staff Nurse, Flu shot clinics, dispatched from national industrial health company.
  3. CPR Instructor, other tertiary care institution in the same city.
  4. Substitute teacher, primary yeshiva school on days when I am not otherwise engaged.
  5. Aerobics Instructor, 4 evenings a week lately for girls and women (technically, I make no money doing this, but it decreases my annual obligation, so I count it here.)

And the PT wants to know why I don't blog more often. Some of us have to go to work to pay the bills, and others of us can just sit back, blog and play XBox for whole minutes at a time.

But seriously, the minutes that I am not being paid to do something are few and there is still shopping, cooking and other family-home based needs that, you know, need to be met now and again. Usually I do a pretty good job keeping up with demands, but now and again something somewhere slips and the PT is left scrounging for milk for his Cheerios.

Actually, I like being busy. But since I do have some free time I would like everyone to speak up and tell me what they had for lunch today. I had a really fantastic salad with apple and cheddar cheese chunks. My theory is that most people hunt down lunch and shoot it rather than having an actual plan. I know some of the things the PT eats should be shot first.

You will get extra points if you supply pictures.

    Salad sounds very very wholesome.

    I would post a picture of what I eat for lunch, but you might get scared. It often involves hunting down foods left over by my kids, and shooting them into my own mouth.

    Lately I've been making 2 sunnyside up eggs for lunch every now and again.

    If the stars all align and both littler kids nap simultaneously, coinciding with my oldest's preschool hours, I'll just follow their lead and sleep through lunch.

    I alternate between a mini-can of tuna and a can of sardines, with occasional forays into pre-wrapped string/mozzarella cheese sticks (courtesy of Haolam). Really, what else can you eat in an office without a 'fridge? Well, unless you want to get, ya know, ambitious and plan in advance and make a salad and pack it in a food thermos or an insulated bag with an "ice brick," and have yet more junk to schlep on the subway.

    It's nice to see you come up for air, every now and then. I figure you're probably averaging about four posts a year, lately. Just call this a quarterly blog. :) :) :)

    i eat frozen lettuce and mayonnaiseless tuna, and dream of the day when stern's meal plan will allow me to buy more than that for 6.75.

    (and a third of a butterfinger, a la 'things bubbe sent me from her minivan')

    I can't say for sure, but Alan called it "Macaroni Cheese"
