Why is it?

That kids like to test us parents? My mom is going to love this one - now granted, I was an angel as a child - but, she sees Luke as an angel. :) So, tonight we had homemade chicken noodle soup. We have a rule in our house that you have to take a no thank-you bite before you can ask for something else to eat or be excused from the table. Luke loves chicken, noodles, carrots, & broth, but he would not try the soup. It wasn't hot either. So, it got to the point where he was defiant, so we sent him to bed. He knew he had done wrong too because he didn't even argue with Erik when he got his pj's on. Well, I went in to his room about 20 minutes later and asked if he wanted to try it and he said he did, so we went out to the kitchen and I tried a different approach to get him to try it. First I got a spoonful of chicken and when he had it in his mouth he got all excited and said, "This is good mommy." I said, "I know, now aren't you wishing you should have tried it earlier?" Of course he said he was. Then we tried chicken with carrots & got the same reaction from him. So, after an hour of basically trying to get him to try it, he likes it... now let's see if he'll eat it right away in a couple days when we have leftovers. :) (On a side note, he had some bread with his bowl of soup the first time, so I knew he wasn't starving when we sent him to bed.)

This weekend was a busy one... I was gone all day on Saturday, but Sunday was more relaxed. Saturday morning I got up and had a killer headache. Some of you know that I've been suffering with migraines since I was 12 years old, well this one felt like a migraine, but I knew it wasn't because I didn't have the other 'side effects' that I have with my migraines. We went to the bank in the morning and then I laid down for about 45 minutes before our friends, Mitch, Missy & Kaiden came over. The headache was so bad that I was sick to my stomach. Well, Missy and I headed up to Brookston, mom had a Creative Memories party (which Missy is a consultant). On our way there the headache eased up a lot and by the time we made the hour drive it was gone, so needless to say I think it was a sinus headache. After my mom's house we went to a friend's house for her birthday. We got there in time for dinner and tried to watch a movie, but got about half way (if that) and gave up. By the time I got home it was about 11:30 and my headache was coming back, but not as severe. So, I got ready and went to bed and when I woke up on Sunday no headache.

Yesterday we got up and got around, Luke and I went to church with my sister and then after church my sister and I went grocery shopping. So, it was a nice late morning and I got a couple movies at the Redbox at Marsh. So, when I got home and started laundry Luke and I watched a movie. I got The Game Plan and No Reservations, I liked No Reservations a lot better.

Tonight I got back to my workout. I took a week off, but was determined to only take last week off. That's about it for the night. Hope you all had a great weekend! Until tomorrow...
