Monday 1/18/2010

1 cup raw soaked steel cut oats with honey cinnamon and almond milk (that I make myself)
1 cup almond milk/ berry smoothie
1 large slice of homemade pizza (ww/cornmeal crust, homemade marinara and tj's pizza sauce, pepperoni, mozarella, 2 cups romaine with Caesar dressing
english breakfast tea with honey and almond milk
1/2 cup baby carrots
  Lara bar, apple pie flavor
a few corn chips and a slice of cheddar
sauteed marinara with chicken and turkey meatballs (homemade last week)
I ate too late but I had to get to Costco before it closed.

Pretty proud of my day, it's the best one so far. I had a spotty night of sleep but somehow I made it through without coffee! The thought of writing this to you all keeps me many times from over indulging. Today, the morning was stressful, we're trying to get more school in than normal since I'm going to be gone and that was challenging. We found a CD that Song gave us from IHOP and it has a song on it called "we have the best Dad in the whole world" and it's such a wonderfully happy song and it was so fun to dance around with all my kiddos. Turning on crazy music and worshiping is the best way to break me out of a funk when dealing with character training.

It was raining so hard today I actually asked God to stop it, the water was slowly coming to our back door and flooding our whole patio. I swept the water away for awhile, and the thousand worms that crawl up too...a few minutes later the rain stopped. Hutch worked all night, I haven't pulled an all nighter since college, and even back then, I think I only pulled the intent of the all nighter, and by 3am, I was firmly convinced, I knew all I needed to know!
He came home and cheered me up, took a long nap, and let me go grocery shopping sans children. Did I mention how great he is? And my mom for that matter rocks my world. She is a powerful woman of God and she is taking the week off to come down and watch our kiddos and she actually bought her own ticket. HOW BLESSED ARE WE?????????????

I'm tempted to write more, because I don't think what I've written is very profound...but I don't want to be loquacious....forever speaking and saying nothing.

Going to bed tonight praying fervently for the orphans in Haiti. Maybe all the Christians could just adopt one...I think that would take care of that problem. I'm up for one!
