life, kids, and brazilian jiu jitsu

So here I am, in bed with my clothes on, surfing the internet. I SHOULD be clearing away the dishes, working out, and interacting with my two teenage sons. Problem is, I read on Wikipedia today that low blood sugar erodes your willpower. Wonderful. I only ate about 1500 calories today. THAT’S why I did nothing tonight. Or is it?

Well….one of the boys friends did drop by so they are all playing Bioshock or something. I’m definitely not going to hang with them while they do that. Plus the last of my willpower would be sorely tested down there near the box of Dad’s oatmeal cookies that I bought for their lunches.

Just a thought, inspired in part by MetroDad’s blog, and in part by the crappy day I had..

What did I miss?
