D-kids are askinig for chicken cutlests..so I am marinating my "cutlet" in lite dressing and baking it with lightly sprinkled bread crumb..theirs will be fried! Have a great day and a good week CT. My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy K and my angelette Robin. Joanie

Hi Joanie! I don't know about everyone else, but this weather just brings out the worst in my kids. I'm struggling with my patience! But the good news is I'm not turning towards food - which is an unbelievable feat for me. B - hot cereal L - chicken noodle and vegetable soup S - fat free pudding D - not sure yet - I'm having a massage at 6:00 so probably something very lite. Hope you all have a great day. Tammy

Tammy- Lucky girl..a massage! Enjoy!! Just what I need. I have a gift certificate my husband gave me last year for a facial..I am going to see if I can turn it in for a massage..I can use that much more! Joanie

My daughter has really been trying my patients lately, and it is hard not to loose my temper with her. Last nigh she was just mean, she kept hitting me with stuffed animals, kicking me, throwing stuff... I couldn't believe it. I told my husband to get her away from me NOW!!! She also has allergies and the past week they have really kicked in, her nose is like a faucet, then she gets a cough from it, but she is not sick, this will last till April! I am glad to have today to myself, I have a lot of projects I would like to do before I go back to work next week. So far, I haven't got much done! B- 2oz cottage cheese s- Chicken Broth L- 2oz pureed chicken w/ spaghetti sauce and protein powder s- s/f popsicle D- 2oz pureed chicken w/ a little rice and protein powder s- s/f jello I hope everyone has a great day and I am praying for Kathy K and Robin! Carmen

Carmen- You are good..protein powder in spaghetti sauce! My old Italian grandmother would have had some problems with that... I had my homemade sauce last night..with two meatballs..and about five cavetelli(doughy pasta) it was a nice treat! I took it easy eating all day...but it was well worth it! Joanie
