I struggled again today, to fit it all in. The food, that is. Mainly because ... we slept in a bit! Which is wonderful, but throws off a disciplined schedule. And would you like to know what woke me up? My stomach growling! Apparently, flabby Flo down there has also become accustomed to my regular schedule!

Because I didn't get downstairs to start cooking until 9am, I was already an hour behind. After feeding the dogs and starting the coffee, Ian wanted some of my "yummy french toast" as well, so I made his first. By the time I sat down to eat, it was 9:45am, and I am now nearly 2 hours behind schedule. Fit it in I did though. And I also accomplished another 5 mile walk with the crazy canine. Now I am ready for a relaxing Sunday.

My intentions, tomorrow while watching football, are to precook and package the majority of next weeks food, and label them by the day I will need to eat them. Our weeks are so hectic that I need to take advantage of every tool in my arsenal to be prepared. I am also going to write everything down on the calendar. I am usually quite diligent, but since we threw it all out of whack last week, I haven't updated it. AND ... I need to do loads and loads of laundry.

But still, there will be time to enjoy football. I will make sure of that!

I know that I promised insight, but I have none. Nothing extraordinary happened! Keeping one foot in front of the other and dodging whatever obstacles life flings in your direction is about all I can offer. But, there is this final point to ponder:
