We’ve had such a relaxing day.  We planned no school today since it is my birthday.  I’m 21 for the 17^th time LOL.  I tried to sleep in, but it just didn’t work.  I slept horribly.  Doug and I had a horrible argument Sunday evening, and I went to bed without speaking to him.  I hate when I do that.  I was still upset this morning, but he is just too wonderful to stay mad at long.

Doug had a few errands this morning, and then he ran me to Save A Lot.  I’ve been putting that off all weekend.  While we were driving down the road, he told me to close my eyes and put out my hand.  He gave me my ring.  When Isaac was born 14 years ago, he bought me a gorgeous sapphire ring.  About 7or 8 years ago, the back of it split and I was unable to wear it because it kept pinching me.  I’ve asked him to have it repaired for every gift giving occasion since then.  I about gave up and was going to take it myself.  But this sweet man gave it to me today.  I am so happy to have it back on my pinkie.

I made the sausage broccoli stuff bread and tomato soup today for dinner.  It is one of my favorite winter comfort foods.  It is the first time I made it with whole wheat bread dough.  Usually my family devours both loaves.  Today we didn’t even finish 1 loaf.  It is so much more filling with ww bread.  It was awesome and now we have lunch for tomorrow.

I went to  Sam’s Club, browsed the mall and did a Curves workout.  It feels SO good to be exercising again.  I am feeling so much better with my mostly raw/whole foods diet.  I just wish my weight would go down.  I did lose 10 lbs. on the juice fast, but now that I am juicing, eating raw foods and 1 small cooked meal a day, I am no longer losing.  I am so frustrated.  I wish I could just accept my body and like it, but I do not like being a plus sized woman.  I want to be a size 12!

I bought Flags of our Fathers today and we watched it.  I tried to get through it and made it about half way.  I’ll try to watch it again later.  The boys really enjoyed it.  And it goes along with our WWII studies.

We are back to the books tomorrow.  It was crazy last week with all the snow, and the boys rushing to get outside and the long weekend.  I am looking forward to some routine!  I am getting cabin fever really bad.  But it is almost spring, right?
