Turning over a new leaf- na na na na hey hey hey goodbye- Little Ceasers, MCD's, and Sonic

I must blog this day in regards to my cooking today. As most of you know, I am not the cooker that my mother is. I sometimes want to be but 99% of the time, my talent is setting the table. That is as far as it goes. BUT I am trying to turn over a new leaf. I can't say it is a new life pattern because it has only been 3 days, but three days is three days in my book. I go to MOPS and the speaker last Thursday was about nutrition. OK- i left feeling like not the best mother in the nutrition area. SHe talked about using homemade recipes- which for me homemade was if I got the box open! For reals. So Today I have to brag that for breakfast Brock, Emma, and I made french toast, and I made handmade chicken strips, sweet potatoes (ok- still canned but it was healthy) and we actually had milk in the fridge for supper:) Now I am not always bad feeding the kids- but it really feels good to know they have gotten several days of good meals that I prepared. SO- that is my story for the day. I hope to continue and would love some accountability for those who are good at this cooking at home thing. I hope in a month I can still brag about our new leaf. THE day ended with Brock coming down with a virus with lots of little sores on his tongue (very painful), so hopefully he recovers quickly and Emma girl does not get the gift that keeps on giving. I had it over the weekend and my mouth felt like it was on fire, so I pray it passes fast for him!

Last statement of the day- I thank God for the people he has put in my life. They seem to always say the right things, text at the right times, come over and help with the kids (thank you MOM) just when I need it. I think God is watching me and can tell when I need a pick me up. SO here is my shout out of praise for all those GOD workers working in my life:)
