I am thankful for:
1. decongestants
2. antihistamines
3. cough suppressants
4. fever reducers
5. cortisone
6. neosporin
7. sunscreen
Thoughts on life and mothering: mostly trying, stumbling, and trying again to do a little better. Some things we eat, make, read, and do and what I learn along the way. And how sometimes it is ok to eat the cookies before they get home. Even if all problems can't be solved with cookies and milk and yellow balloons, they certainly can't make things worse!

Hits and Misses
Weekly Menu check.
Hits:
frozen ravioli with garden-style sauce, salad
tacos, applesauce, carrots
garlic bread sticks
apple dumplings
KFC, potatoes, melon,
chic-fil-a in between pool and movies
burgers, veggies with dip, peaches
rigatoni spaghetti with cheese
mini taco pizza- corn tortillas, refried beans, shredded cheese quesadillas, with the name changed so the guest would eat it.
Misses:
chicken and gnocchi soup- too thick, odd taste, possibly the onions? Was ok with thinned broth.
coleslaw
fried zucchini strings- they may be fried crisp, salted, and tossed with parm cheese, but they are still green! Mike and I liked them.
On Deck:
pizza rolls (cinnamon rolls with pizza toppings instead of cinnamon sugar and such)
chicken stir fry
breakfast casserole with sausage, eggs, cheese, and veggies
something with ground turkey?
lunch with elders and guests- salad and cookout?
Goal:
get kids to eat more veggies.
Start adding baby food purees to sauces and such?

Six Things
Thanks.
1. That every accident doesn't result in a broken bone.
2. For my home teacher, whose wife makes yummy brownies.
3. To Olive Garden for cheap lunch dates with friends.
4. For the big bug on the door so Andrew could willingly go to school to show it.
5. To my husband and the chocolate he left on the top shelf of the fridge last night.
6. To my family and friends, who didn't bother to point out to my tired brain that there were only five things in the above list.
