Today...

Well I would say my day started quite big...with a big HEADACHE...IDK...all of this is becoming a bit much for me. If I'm not hurting, I'm tired and today was a bit of a combo.

But with style and grace and a bit of optimism I got up and made some breakfast. Went back down for a nap. My sinuses feel like I have a monster living in them. So I go to work.

If only that would have fixed it. It felt like someone was sitting on my shoulder and then the eye ache headache came back, my Vicks had worn off my eyeball.

So I got off and went and got my kids. I have not been able to do much with them because I am either too tired or sick...I have had 2 birthdays in the last couple weeks and was not able to do anything with them. I know I have all summer, but I feel like I failed. I have not lived up to my own expectation of who I am supposed to be. But that is something I need to mature past. Because my kids love me no matter what. And needless to say I do the best I can to make them smile. Today FOOD made them smile.

Those ribs were off the chain. I only ate a corner just to get a taste! SCOUTS HONOR!! But with them I made Sauteed Squash and Zucchini, of course some Bruschetta, and Zharea made some boxed mashed potatoes. They seemingly loved it all!! Ji got seconds on the squash. Now I am going to go ahead and put on the brownies so we can have brownies and floats.

SN: My first poaching experience has turned out to be a toilet paper looking disaster. I am already not particular about eggs, but this thing looked like it was ready to jump out and say I am the MUMMY from the pot!! But we split the egg 6 ways (yes 1 egg), I boiled my yolk a little more and put it in my seafood salad I made myself for lunch.

Outside of that I needed to see my kids who got to see their dad in his van on the way to work in his all white uniform. Bitter sweet. We laughed at the Bugar that was attacking out view and he drove away. One day we will all be off and able to enjoy our family. Until then we love in passing.

See love will be felt as long as the actions to maintain the feeling remains. We may not all see each other, but together or apart our family's love is UNBREAKABLE, just like that nasty looking poached egg. With a smile on my face and medication in hand, preparing to eat dessert and say good night to my fans--I sign off~
