The Fuel Drawer

This is the Fuel Drawer. A MUST HAVE for parenting! It's filled with protein bars for both of us and tea to keep us going. I call upon this drawer for strength at least three times a day.

I highly recommend the Luna Caramel Nut Brownie Bars. They are delicious (dairy free) and really help me satisfy my chocolate craving. Greg is partial to the Luna S'mores bars. Yes, I know what you are thinking. Aren't Luna Bars made for women? Technically, you are right. However, Greg is man enough to not care. They are delicious, with 9 grams of protein in a light 180 Cal snack. He eats them in conjunction with his Muscle Milk bars. He can have those Muscle Milk bars because I think they are disgusting. I tolerate the S'mores bars (Have I ever mentioned that I don't like marshmallows?) but, seriously folks, the Caramel Nut Brownie Bars are were it's at!
And then there is the TAZO Awake tea. I try not to use this too often because I surely became dependent on this little tea bag in college and it sucked. So, I only allow myself to use it on days I work. I will be the first to admit that it tastes like a barnyard (and I'm an avid tea drinker) but, let me tell you, for a women who hates coffee (sorry everyone) this does a great job of kicking me in the butt when I need it most.

And, believe me, after 6 days of my little daughter having a crappy cold and knowing I have to head in to work in a few hours and stay up well past midnight, this drawer is my life source.

I wish I could fit the whole thing in my purse.

(Some days, I try).
