Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

January 24 MPM

Well, I'm finally seeing the light at then end of the tunnel.  Julianna's all better, thankfully she was only sick a few days.  I'm almost all better.  I still can't hear out of my left ear, but other than the congestion, I'm good to go.  Unfortunately, Mark's sick.  Still.  Again?  We don't know any better, but he's really sick and I am very sad for him.  He's been through a lot and he definitely needs to start feeling better.

The kids and I stole away for a few hours to take Rebekah out to lunch yesterday.  That was wonderful!  So good to see her.  I miss her lots, but I count as one of my biggest blessings the relationships I have with my children and that it's so hard to not being with them.  She seems like she's doing really well.  So happy, and thankful,  for her.

Busy week ahead.  Aren't they all now?  I think it's so we're extra thankful when we finally get to pause and catch our breaths during spring break. 

We have the Pinewood Derby next weekend, a Father-Daughter girl scout dance, and science fair projects to do.  I cannot wait until next weekend's over.  :)

Monday (dance):  Lasagna casserole from freezer, bread, salad
Tuesday (piano & dance):  Oven Fried Chicken, Corn pudding, green beans, roasted carrots
Wednesday (scouts & swimming): Chicken Gyros w/tzatziki
Thursday (dance & Pampered Chef party):  Tyler Florence's Tortellini & Meatball Soup--I'll add some fresh spinach to it, to make it more like wedding soup, and using chicken meatball's from Barefoot Contessa that I have in the freezer, Scribbit's Awesome Bread Machine bread
Friday: ??
Saturday lunch (Pinewood Derby--wish us luck!):  Pioneer Woman's Chicken Tortilla Soup
Saturday dinner (Father-Daughter dance, Mark & Julianna out?):  Southwestern Brown Rice & Black Bean Burgers, rolled tortillas, fruit
Sunday lunch: out
Sunday dinner:  Waffles & ham steak

Man you are really on top of things. I can't figure out what John and I are having for supper tomorrow night, let alone having it planned for a week. I have to pat you on the back.

I hope Mark's feeling better soon, I know how much stress you must feel (but you still manage to plan meals-- amazing!).
