It is so weird how things change in a few days. Jack is now a hero among the older scouts and his peers. They think its great that he hit this kid. So no fear, Annie, Chris...Jack is fine. Kate is a little jealous of all his stories and said, "Why do you keep talking about it?" Before I can answer, Jack says, "Can't a mother be proud of her son?"
We are freezing downstairs in this house! I have some fun things I want to cook tomorrow to keep us warm. Torta with the homemade crust. (per Kate's request)It's a spinach, rice, cheese and egg dish my grandmother used to make. I remember calling her for the recipe when I craved it, when I was pregnant with Jack. "A little bit of onion, handful of cheese." How much rice? "Oh, I don't know, 2 cups maybe." And I want to make beef stew. Now that Jack is in scouts, he really does try new things. He had venison this weekend in a stew they made. I had some in a bread bowl at Cracker Barrell last Friday. It was really good and beef stew is not on my list of favorite foods.
I had a friend at work do the nicest thing for me. I had filled in for her at Reading Competition and she gave me passes to the movies and a monetary gift. It was very generous of her. Money is tight after Christmas and the kids really wanted to go to the movies. I was trying to figure out my budger without using the credit card and I wasn't sure how I would do it. Now I can!! and I might just pick up my own copy of Breaking Dawn. Everyone says its the best one....
The kids are too excited. They are hoping for no school tomorrow too. I will try to enjoy it now instead of being a pessimest and dreading the long weeks in the Spring.
I heard something kind of funny and kind of true on a TV show the other day. I was hating my job and it fit my mood. "If we didn't want to quit all the time, we wouldn't be doing it right." I have to write the Special ed plan and they changed how it is to be completed...AGAIN and I was getting myself worked up and hateful.
I'll let you know how my cooking challenges come out tomorrow!
