Yesterday was Monday, eh?  What did we do?  Oh, Jordan and Isaac didn’t get to bed til 1am from the Newsboys concert.  So they slept until 10 or so.  Isn’t hsing great? 

I got up about 7 and Allen was sleeping on the couch. He had been having nightmares.  So he got up and did his chores and started school.

I started laundry, did my morning computer stuff (very important, ya know), juiced and thought about dinner, talked to Doug for a bit before he went to his parents.

The boys came down and I did the read-alouds with Isaac and Allen.  Continued laundry and made dinner.  We had meatloaf and roasted red potatoes, corn and a fresh, tossed salad.

Doug went to work and I headed to Curves.  I also stopped by my girlfriend’s house so we could work on our Frankferd Farms co-op order.  She wasn’t home.

We watched Miss Rose White in the evening.  What an awesome movie.  It is about a Jewish family in NYC post WWII.  Quite touching.  We all really enjoyed it.

Doug didn’t come home last night, so today was rather quiet.

I was up about 6:30 and everybody else was up before 8.  We did chores and breakfast.  I corrected Isaac’s work from yesterday since I only got to Allen yesterday.  While we were doing that, my FIL stopped by to measure something that he and Doug are working on.  He was here while we read from Stalin.  He left and we almost finished The Trapp Family Singers.  We had 3 pages left before my girlfriend stopped by. 

When Jennie came the boys did their independent work while we worked on the co-op.  I called and set up my account and we placed orders.  Her phone isn’t working, so she made some phone calls and used the computer for some things.  The boys finished up and school ate lunch while we visited.  It was a nice visit!

The boys had quiet time and I ate lunch and took a nap after Jennie left.  Got up and corrected people’s schoolwork and finished reading about the Trapp Family.

Jordan and Isaac took Tucker for a walk and told me it “wasn’t that bad” out.  So being the believing and trusting person I am, I decided to go for a walk.  My legs were FREEZING and my nose was running.  I walked for 25 min.  But since only half the people have shoveled their walks, I didn’t get my 2 miles in.  I tromped through snow over my boots.  COLD is all you can say to describe that.  So it was quite a workout and it felt SO good to be out in the fresh air.  Too bad the sunshine didn’t join me.

We are going to relax tonight and veg in front of the TV.  I am getting sick of winter!  I am trying to finish a poncho I am crocheting.  I hope I can get that done tonight.  I’ll post pictures when I finish it.

My goal today was to eat totally raw and so far so good.  Although I am contemplating a black bean burrito leftover from a few days ago.  So far today I’ve juiced grapefruit and tangelos for breakfast and ate a banana and some dates.  Lunch was a huge salad and then some raw almonds and craisins.  I had a banana after my nap.  I’m having another grapefruit, tangelo, pineapple juice right now.  I am feeling like I want to eat food.  I wish I weren’t out of dates.  I did find an awesome source for raw dates at www.datepeople.net  The prices look good.  And I read on Raw Food Talk website that you can get seconds.  One of the gals posted that she got 15 lbs. of seconds for $23 plus shipping.  What an awesome deal and I plan to get in on that next week after payday!
