Making It

-
I know what you're thinking.
I am not on that track
today.
:)

I just got back from the grocery store.
Again.
I go everyday.
I go twice some days
to the same store
and another store.
I don't want to go everyday
or any day at all
to be quite honest.
I just want to go to the cabinet
open the door
and make the food.
AND I want everyone to like it.
Like it and applaud me.
As it is
I buy the ingredients
on a whim.
I toss together a plan
and
hope it all works out.
With this method
usually no one likes it.

Now.
There was a time when
I looked at food magazines
and made menus
and grocery lists
and made well prepared healthy foods.
It was impressive and worthy of applause.
I can't blame anyone for not being impressed
with taco salad
but I made something.
(Actually Jasmine made something.
It was delicious! Thanks Jas!)
I planned something.
That should count.
That should be worthy of applause
when you consider all the other things I did in the day.
I am not trying to pump myself up,
it's just that it isn't very evident
when you walk into my house.
And when I work constantly from sunup
to late into the evening,
the complaining is...
it comes across as aggressive.
That makes me defensive.
I don't want to be defensive.
I want to be more prepared.

So I am checking out this website called
www.100daysofrealfood.com
It has menus and recipes and
healthy inspirations.
I am going to be
making it
for a few days.
I'll let you know how it all works out.
What I mean by that is
I'll let you know if it is
worthy of applause.

By the way,
this is how I looked running errands today.
Oopsy!
HAHAHAHAHahahaha...

    I use to plan every meal, now I wing it. So far so good. I think I will stick to kroger and aldis. I looked at that website you posted. I am not convinced. I will keep buying skim milk and lo fat. It is programmed in my brain! I think it is mostly psychological. Curious about the meal planning if u. Do that! Oh and I don't see anything wrong with u running errands like that! Pretty pretty!

      I am not planning to go all organic, I just wanted some ideas. I looked a little closer at it and... maybe not. I need real meals. Getting on cookinglight.com now!

    I did some reading this morning on different types of milk and I am confused....I don't drink much at all. I may just buy whole. ??? The kids doctors have never expressed a concern. Hhhmmm

I woke up this morning Fully realizing that He is gone. There is nothing I can Think Or say Or pray That will undo that. Now we have to Navigate through another day Without him. Like learning how to walk On new legs. Pray for my strength To come only from the Him. Mine is faulty. May the comfort of our Lord Come to those around me Through these two arms And these two ears And this trickle of tears. Lvb

  This dog is a fierce opponent of mine. For over a year I have avoided the last leg of my two-mile walk because of his ferocious bark. I have a fear of dogs from childhood that is pretty irrational, but I am able to reason myself out of running scared, sometimes. Instead of walking to the end of his block, I would just retrace the distance over an area that was dog-free. It felt silly, but it kept me safe. Then one day there were two walkers ahead of me that managed to get to the end of the block with no sign of attack. I could hear the dog barking, but he didn’t approach, so I assumed there was an electric fence. Oh the joy I felt at this discovery! I began to shed my fear and walk freely to the end of the trail.  I was so happy about my newfound freedom that I decided to write about it. So one day, I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the dog’s house to take a photo of him. Before I knew it he was charging at me, barking viciously. He got closer and closer and I walked quickly down

Hi, have you met Dale? Than you know why this picture shocks me everytime I look at, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. So I'm praying that I'll have at LEAST one writing project done by next spring. With the new home schooling goals, I don't know how practical that is, but without a forty hour commitment to working every week, starting in October, I'll have a little free tiME! WE GOT THE JOB!!! Dale interviewed today. We should have a reporting date in October. Thank you all, with all sincerity, for your prayers for us and the timing on this crazy thing. It has been worth the wait- for this. If we had not been forced to wait the past months, Dale would have gone into the interview totally unprepared, overweight and out of shape. But God... For years we have lived our lives like Mario- when he's invisible and the fast music is playing- invincible. (my first big word as a kid) When we first got married, Dale worked at Blockbuster as a manage
