Another good day :)

I am amazed at how "on plan" I can be when I've got no one bringing me "crap," no disasters happening, PLENTY of power foods around the house and an awesome PLAN. :)  I have got my frozen-peach-banana-buttermilk ice cream planned for later when the kiddos are in bed.  Hubby is off at some dinner with the higher-ups from work.  One of the many good thing about DH is that he never brings home a doggy bag.  The good ol' boy eats it all :) 

I have started reading a civil war novel, The Killer Angels.  I didn't think it would hook me, but it has.   The movie "Gettysburg" is based on the book.  I liked the movie, though it made me sad.  So many remarkable men on both sides died defending what they absolutely KNEW was right.

Have a great evening.  I am going to enjoy the peace and quite with my good book.
