Today we replaced the children's 2% milk with not just whole milk but
with real 'from the tank' whole cow's milk. Our babysitter, Lora Jean,
and her husband, Dean, are dairy farmers and have blessed us with milk
for the children from their tank. Mike was amazed at how much more milk
they drank at supper tonight than they do usually (and we thought
Xavier drank a lot of milk on a regular day!!). Changing Mike & I's
taste buds over from 2% will be another process... :)
Also,
in the goals update, I have not used margarine in recipes or baking for
almost 2 months. Our next step will be changing over our Country Crock
soft margarine to butter. I so like having soft margarine ready for me
in the tub. Baby steps, baby steps...
I am looking
for Boston Ferns and full length mirrors still. Mike and I have also
looked online at juicers and water filters but will look in the store
when we go this weekend.
I helped Natalee self talk
her way through hair brushing this morning...I empathized with her hurt
when we unsnarled her hair and talked about other options instead of
brushing (letting it stay ratty for the birds to live in or cutting it
shorter). She is frightened of hair cuts and didn't think letting
birdies live in her hair was a good idea (although funny) but the talk
helped her get through the brushing much easier than me saying, "you're
fine, that doesn't hurt, sit still."
My classroom store
center is off to a great start! The recycled goods are coming in and a
fellow teacher has a shopping cart & cash register for us! I'm
excited about it!
I went to bed at 10 last night and am
pushing my 10:30 night tonight but will be close! I felt better this
morning, having had a decent night's rest.
Progress is progress, no matter how small!
