Dinner out

Going out for supper in a real restaurant with waiters!

Punishment

I got a call from my son's teacher today... Never a good sign! It turns out that he stole another boys snack because it looked better than his own. What made it worse was that he lied about it to the teacher and then to me when he got home... I know, what am I grateful about?! Well, when he finally did confess and I handed out his punishment (no tv or computer) he just accepted it and took responsibility. He let me know he was upset about not having tv but knew it was his fault and that he had to accept it. I was disappointed that he misbehaved in the first place but very proud of the way he handled it after!

Second helpings

I must admit I'm not a good cook. If it were just me I would be eating cereal and frozen dinners every night. However, being a "good" mother requires me to feed the kids a somewhat healthy meal every day. Most days after school the kids come home and immediately ask what's for supper and then "ewww..  I hate that!". We sit down for supper and the bargaining begins "how many bites?"... Today I made chicken legs, rice and Caesar salad. The boys not only ate everything on their plate but asked for more! Made me super happy!!

This is delicious!

Had some ground beef today so I made a "cheater" spaghetti sauce with jarred marinara sauce... Both boys said it was delicious! Not a compliment I receive often so I am grateful!

Mommy's back!

When I came home today from my weekend away I was met by big hugs from my sons and a cute note under my pillow that said "I love mommy"... Made my day!

Free Wi-Fi

Staying in a hotel with free wifi means catching up on breaking bad episodes while waiting for my boyfriend!

Weekend getaway!

Thankful to be going out of town for an adult-only weekend!
