A big sigh of relief today. Riley's baptism is over and it all went very well. Catherine is home for the weekend too and it feels really good. I didn't track today, but I think I probably wound up not too bad on points despite manifold temptations. Luckily, I wasn't hungry for lunch so I had points there. After the baptism we had some of Riley's favorites--pizza and cupcakes. I loaded up on salad and fruit and had 2 pieces of pepperoni--figure 10 pts a slice. Ok.Temptation not over yet. It was also Kristin's birthday--after cleaning up the church we went to Lisa's house for cake and ice-cream. Lisa does not make ordinary cakes. This one was darling--six layers each a different color. There was no such thing as a small slice. But I gave part of my slice to Mom and left some on my plate too. I managed to get in some Just Dance this morning and I also mowed the lawn when we got back so I think overall I did well.
Just now though I''m a little disappointed. Because we refinanced our house we don't have to make a mortgage payment this month. So one would think that would give us an extra $625 to spend. Not even close. Someday, we'll have enough that we don't have to count the minutes until payday. But until then, God has been taking good care of us. We've had enormous bills with college, but our heads remain above water--a miracle indeed in this economy.
