Day 9

Have you ever had a day where things were just so overwhelming you just sat down and cried wherever you were?  Today was one of those days. I think it was just due to the lack of sleep the last few days, not feeling good myself and all my kids being sick. Just that overwhelming feeling.

But things are better and the day turned around.  Went to the gym this morning and did my hour! It felt good and it didn't feel good.  I think I need to do something more.  I think I need to get back on the treadmill and start running again.

Picked Sarah up from school and poor girl wasn't feel all that great. Took her to the Dr and guess what? Double ear infections again!  Poor girl was in pain big time. Got her meds and came home. Laurel and Her slept the afternoon away. It will be nice to have them feeling better again!

Per the kids request I made chinese for dinner. This is alway such a big thing.  It takes all day to do.  Had the rice going since this morning and then started the egg rolls and pot stickers after we got home from the Dr's.  I messed up the pot stickers so we had a ton of egg rolls.  I ended up making mini egg rolls in the pot sticker wrappers. The kids thought that was pretty cool!  Dinner was very yummy!  Made some changes to see if it would taste better and made them a little more healthy.  Tried turkey instead of hamburger. No big difference there but will use Turkey from now on.  Bake the egg rolls instead of deep fried them.  I like deep fried but the baked ones weren't to bad. Used less salt too. That should be a big plus! LOL

Melody had to make a treat for Activity Days tonight. She make snickerdoodles all by herself. She did a great job.  It marked off one of her Faith in God goals!  Gotta get her going on those and get that completed as well.

Nothing really exciting happend around here today. Thanks goodness! 

I was going through Pictures and came across this one!  I LOVE IT!  Daughter like Father!  She truly is the apple of her Daddy's eye!

Michael update: Michael made if finally to his destination.  Can't really say where he is.  But I know as of last night he was safe and sound.  Haven't talked with him today.  Don't know really when the next time we will get to talk with him. He is in language training and will be moving around a lot for the next month.
