Meal Time Makeover- Day 3.. Perfect?

by 1 Comment

It’s day 3 and things are going well!  Just a quick update, Chad’s breakfast was homemade granola bars.  I made a batch yesterday so he will be able to take those all week if he chooses to.  Simple and so much better for him than the store bought, although I’m sure I can find an even healthier recipe, this is what we’re doing for now.
He made his lunch.  We had a nice chat over the phone while he ate.
For supper we struggled, do we order pizza, make taco’s (yes, we also have a taco Tuesday night)… or eat frozen chicken patties again.  We went with the frozen chicken patties, I think their simplicity and flavor are both addicting.
During supper my sweetheart and I both were teasing the princess with “LOOK! A baby mongoose” and dipping our sandwiches her ranch when she wasn’t looking.
She’s caught on pretty quick.  Without a word, she smiled, got up and grabbed the ranch bottle.  She strutted her stuff over to the table and before I could say a word or get my hand up to stop her she was pouring half the bottle of ranch onto my plate (you ever have those bottles that just POUR out when you only want a dab, this is one of those).  OH MY! We haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!  I mean I laughed so hard  I cried!!
Then my Mr. Awesome got up and announced he would be having a salad.  LOL!  Of course using the dressing that was left on my plate.

Highlights of my day:

  • The one on one time I had with each family member, even if I didn’t get any time to myself.
  • The awesome playdate this morning.
  • Grocery shopping.
  • Turning in old video games for store credit at Gamers.
  • Good phone conversations with my daddy.
  • Lunch with my mom.
  • A family walk.
  • A hilarious family dinner.
  • And now blogging.  I think I might actually like blogging!

 Today was a success, a true success!

More from Proverbs 31:

“Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.”
My notes:
Our phone conversation at lunch my husband expressed a worry he had.  It was a ridiculous worry, to me anyway.  But rather than tear him down about it, I was there for him, comforting him and letting him know he could trust in me.  I do not want to give him reason to regret that trust, so although I wont share with you what we were discussing, just know we have problems, just like you do.  We all do.  It’s okay, no person or relationship is perfect.
A note on perfection:
 
We are all blemished, I can’t even draw a PERFECT circle, perfect reproduction, don’t even get me started.  Perfect happiness, manners and specimen, a perfect day.. hmmmm sounds too good to be true, because it is!  We aren’t meant to be perfect.

  1. Thankfully, we have a perfect Creator who in His grace and love is continually sanctifying (making holy, purifying, perfecting) us, IN HIM. 🙂 You are so right, perfection is a lost cause apart from Him.
    It sounds like you had a wonderful day. You are such an inspiration.
