What a difference a day off will do!!!

Today, I had an unexpected day off. So, what does any good wife or mother do? Don't tell them! That way I could do my lists of "to dos". It felt so freeing! However, I didn't fool the hubby as I ran out the door, he saw me with my running gear on! He went along with my game and then called me at noon, I was off of work after all! Productive? Yes! I took my son to dr, drop him off at school, folded load of laundry, ran 4 miles, shopping, errands, made chicken pot pie and apple crisp, cleaned out frig, gather can and recycled them, rake the yard, swept the floor all before 4pm! Eating very healthy is more interesting and feels just so fabulous! I made my usual Chicken Pot Pie with Wheat Flour instead of the White Flour. No butter and very little salt. The family gathered 'round the table to eat. Colorful salad that the hub put together, pot pie and apple crisp for dessert. We never have dessert, so our belly's were too full to eat. Maybe after some outside work and football practice. We had great conversation and I told them before we ate, "hey, feel free to compliment the cook, if you like it!" Probably one of the top 10 family dinners this year. NO FIGHTING or arguing!!!!

I FEEL EMPOWERED! I'm very lucky to have a loving family that will put up with "my flavors of the day"! I'm have 11 points left for the day! Hmm gonna enjoy the apple crisp! YUMMY!
