Sunday
The good thing about having a baby cut 4 molars at one time is that you can watch a whole disc of the *Here’s Lucy* show in one night.
I am SOLD on that click and pull option at Sam’s Club. I waltzed in, up to customer service…they went and got my carts, scanned my card and it all popped up on the screen. Nice.
Zander is learning a hard lesson tonight. At our chapel we have a cry room. Usually I leave during the sermon and take Stacia to the cry room. Since Zander would be sitting without an adult at that point, he comes with me. On the way into church he noted two of his friends playing back there. I told him that we’d go in during the sermon. He proceeded to act up during worship. I explained calmly that if I had to take him out before the sermon we would go to the van and not the cry room. I don’t want him to think that if he is naughty he can go play during church…neither do I want to disrupt the whole service. I also told him that if I had to take him to the van he would go straight to bed when we got home. He lived right on that “boundary” (oh he’s got so much of me in him). I took him to the back pew. I told him again what I expected and what would happen next. He crossed the line. We went to the van. We came home. He’s in bed. He cried and cried and I wanted to give in….but there you have it. Grace forgives (and I forgive him); mercy walks through the consequences with you (and I curled up in bed with him until he went to sleep). He missed our weekly ice cream. He was heart broken. BUT I explained he had made the choice. He told me he loved me. I hope he has learned and REMEMBERS.
I got our group Shop Natural order together so that I don’t have to worry about it on a school day.
Lisa has inspired us and I’m making a menu. Well, actually I thought of the need all on my own. :::snort::: We are eating out far too often with Mike gone. We are back to Sunday’s only and this will help. In fact I took the kids to Cheddars today instead of fast food. I told them that it will be cheaper than eating out multiple times at fast food. It was. LOL The boys all go to give their favorite foods…Arielle wants bread and apples….that’s about it for Nolan and Zander as well. Here’s our list of meals and we’ll eat them on whichever night we have a yen for that meal. LOL
Lasagna
Chicken Divan
Hawaiian Chicken
Pizza – Friday (Jamin got dough for 12 pizzas in the freezer today)
Leftovers
Meatloaf
Sunday – eat out
I've been reminded today of a sermon my favorite preacher once preached. "I didn't ASK for THIS"....and I'm choosing joy!
