Food & Testing Log 4.6.10 (+ Missions Accomplished)

So, obviously I haven't been here for awhile. Apparently I am forgetful AND those darned batteries are rather elusive. I seriously couldn't find them anywhere.

The Man stumbled across some in Home Depot last night, though, so problem solved.

9:15am 70 mg/dL After Fasting

breakfast: homemade pumpkin pie, 1 cup coffee w/cream
lunch: egg salad, whole wheat crackers
snack: more crackers, 1 cup coffee w/cream, a couple pieces of Easter chocolate
dinner: tacos w/assorted toppings


Oh, and I decided to add a "Missions Accomplished" section to these posts, for my own benefit... 'cause I feel like I'm getting nothing done most days, yet the time just goes POOF! So I'm hoping to either figure out where the time goes OR give myself a morale boost with the discovery that I'm doing more than I realize. Ha! We'll see.

Missions Accomplished:

• The Basics: 3 meals + random snacks to all humans, animals fed, children dressed & undressed at the appropriate times, homeschool lessons, etc...
• Errands: Bank, Target, jobsite, Whole Foods
  
• Cleaned out the chicken coop
• Took a nap (ha!)
• Random house tidying

And even though it wasn't something I did *today*, it was so nice to see the 2 big bags of trash, pile o' recycling, and 18 bags of leaves get picked up from the curb today. I love completion. Ha!

Not much accomplished today. *sigh* I hate errands. They take too long.

Oh, and for the record: I'm about 19 1/2 weeks along now. ;)
