What a day!  My little girl started throwing up this evening right when I got home from the gym.  She's done it 3x now - and not made it into a bucket or toilet any time - UGH!  I hate cleaning that up!  Especially because it seems like my kids are ALWAYS throwing up!  And, she still has hives...
My microwave is still broken so I still am heating up the oven to warm everything up - or on the stove top if I can.  My home teacher is supposed to come look at it Thursday night, but he says he doesn't know what he can do.  The people who were supposed to be renting my house changed their minds.  I know that Heavenly Father is watching out for us though and I know that He will take care of us and make sure we find the right renters!  I just want my husband to come home :(

There was some positive things to the day.  I went shopping and it was fun!  I got all kinds of new things - dresses, shirts, shorts, workout clothes - it was just fun!  It's fun to say  - "can you bring me that in a small please?"  I even got to show my husband on Skype the tags with a "S" on all my clothes :)  I am officially in a size 6 and I think that was my original goal.  It feels so good to be able to say I accomplished that big goal of mine!

Another story - this morning I helped out at my kids' school for their teacher appreciation breakfast.  I served the food.  It was all mini muffins, mini cinnamon rolls, bagels, sausage, french toast, bacon, cheesy hash browns, and other bad things (all store bought).  It was so interesting to me to see all that food.  Not too long ago I might have been drooling over - even sneaking- one of the mini cinnamon rolls or bagels from Panera smeared in cream cheese.  Today was different - I didn't even want a bit of any of it - at all!  It kind of repulsed me actually to think of all the sugars, refined flours and other junk in all that stuff.  I was so happy to go home and chow down on my grapefruit and Ezekiel toast!
