Love and Legos

Slow day...
Today has been a slow, boring day. We didn't even finish school, but really should try to before bed.
The day after Stefan's sleepover at his friends' house, he told me their mom's eggs were even better than mine!  So I called her this morning and got the secret. She puts the cheese in after they're done (aaaaaaaaah!) so that's what I did this morning and got raves from everyone! Benjy even said he likes eggs after all, and so I had to make a second batch!
Then
school should have started, but I wanted to clean the kitchen
first. And one thing kept leading to another and....
We did workbooks but didn't touch the Core.
Church
is in one hour, and we start our Preceps course on I Kings
tonight. I am so thankful that the church is going to give Eric
and me the workbooks this time, because we just can't buy them.
I'm looking forward to the class. Oh dear! I just realized
I need to get out some binders and colored pencils, if the courses are
the same as they used to be.
Eric
is working on a novel. Right this minute he's out in the van somewhere
with his laptop working on it. Hopefully he is one his way home,
because Stefan just said dinner is in 5 minutes. Eric had put a
roast in the oven just before he left.
Today's meals have been:
-Bacon (Wright's brand) and eggs with (Kroger) cheddar cheese
-Apples
-(Hebrew National) salami and (Kroger) cheese sandwiches with butter on (Baker's Inn) whole wheat bread (just me and Stefan)
-Smucker's preserves on the same bread for Benjy and Joel - Eric didn't eat lunch
-toast (same bread) with butter and (Smucker's) preserves
Tonight
will be roast beef with rice and some kind of veggie. Hopefully
we can put together a dessert, because my sister, visiting from China,
is coming over to spend the night.
I
thought I should keep a log of what we're eating, including brand
names, to track these troubles with bipolar and see if I can connect
them with anything.
Oh,
and Stefan cleaned out the guinea pig cage today. He really had a
hard time, and we refused to help him with the work because we honestly
want him to get over the "It's too hard!" mentality. He learned
today that he CAN do it by himself. It ended up helping a lot to
just have Eric stand out there and be an audience. He did decide
that scooping it more often would have made the cleaning job much
easier. Hopefully he'll remember that.
Benjy and Joey filled it with hay and bedding when Stefan was done with
the cleaning. Benjy had started helping with the cleaning when Stefan
was having his, ahem, tantrum, but he got hurt right at the beginning
and I don't think he ever went back out and helped.
I'm
glad we have Stefan learning to do "hard" work. If we don't force
him to, I can see how he'd become very dependent on us.
