Hey gang, I’m still sick from the beginning of the school year cold, and it’s really starting to wear me down!! The little six and seven year olds have tons of NASTY germs running around their bodies, and there seems little way to escape it. Hubby seems to have escaped the sickness up until now, which means that we may end up passing it back and forth to each other here in the house. Huge bummer, man!

Anyhow, we’re both loaded up with extra Vitamin C and multi-vitamins, lots of water and tea, healthy food (most of the time…we were on an ice cream/frozen yogurt binge for a little while there), and not enough rest. That’s the piece that I need to work on. I simply cannot get to bed early!!! I’m trying. I’ll shoot for 9pm tonight. Scout’s honor. Really. I promise…

On the food front, we’ve been cooking lots at home, and hubby has been taking in his lunch to work (so much better that eating out). Most everything has been compliant, though we should add more veggies to each meal. I’ve been making lots of crustless quiches and frittatas with leftover veggies. This week’s was peas and carrots, and you know what? With a little bit of nutmeg, it wasn’t half bad!!!

I hope that this finds you all well, compliant, and healthy. Enjoy these beautiful fall days before the long, dark winter sets in…
