Today was a very busy day.  I tried to make it busy because it was also a very hard day.  My brother was in a horrible accident 14 years ago today and lost his life.  He was drinking and went around the bars at a railroad crossing.  He was hit by an Amtrak going very, very fast.  I still remember that day so vividly.

So I made myself very busy today.  What all did I do?

~Got up and did my chores, breakfast (juicing really), and got the kids moving

~Read-alouds with Isaac and Allen

~Chatted with Doug a bit

~Ran to Sam’s Club

~Did Curves while I was out that way

~Home, put away groceries and make dinner.  We had a pizza pasta casserole that was awesome!  I’ll post the recipe tomorrow.  I also cut up pineapple and cantaloupe.  I am proud of myself.  I only had a tiny, little bit of the casserole.  Other than that, I’ve been raw all day.  Well, I did just have some raisin bran, but I was 85% raw today!

~Cleaned up the kitchen, helped clean up from the sanding (Doug is stripping woodwork), and chatted with Doug a bit more

~Took a long nap.  I read for a while and then sleep.  I’m reading Karen Kingsbury’s Ever After right now.  Very good book!

~Got up and helped Doug get off to work.  Isaac went with him today.

~Took Doug and Isaac to the truck.  Ran to Wal-Mart and the grocery store

~Came home, put away yet more food, fixed a salad for my dinner, also had fresh pineapple.

~Went to Gramma’s to play Super Scrabble.  She won one and so did I.

~Came home and visited with Jordan and Allen.  Took a bubble bath and now I’m going to watch Monk and head to bed.

Tomorrow I am going to clean, clean, clean and make 4 loaves of bread for the freezer.
