Missed my morning 15
Up with sick baby for a couple hours during the night - yawn
Today was a good day in my thinking. I was thoughtful about my food choices. I passed on the high carb lunch and was able to pull together a nice salad with some leftover lentils. That was a good save since I mindlessly nibbled on too many chocolate chips that are meant for rewards for the *children*...ahem.
What topped off my day, however, was the wonderful way my children blessed me tonite. Tuesday night is our regular "date night". Typically we order pizza for an easy dinner and clean up and send the children to bed early to read while my husband and I enjoy some time alone. Well, today my oldest daughter got the idea to have a "restaurant dinner" at home for the two of us. She and her sibs worked all day to decorate and set up a Table for Two in our mudroom/pantry. We were sent off to dress up fancy for our romantic dinner. What a precious night! Both my husband and I were giddy with excitement and bursting with joy to see our children desire such a blessing for us. It's been a tough couple of weeks and this was an unexpected and much cherished gift.
So, I enjoyed the extra calories. Each one helped to create a memory I will treasure forever. :-)
