As a parent, I must admit that I have a love/hate relationship with sleepovers. I love them in the beginning when the kids are happily eating, playing and watching movies together. However, the next afternoon is always challenging as they get older. My 6-year-old, Emilie, still feels like it's SO late when she goes to bed at 9:30pm-10pm. I enjoy sleepovers at her age. Now, my 9-year-old stays up really late now and it makes the next day torture. Girls are so sensitive, so she cries at the smallest annoyance or inconvenience and she's just so overtired that she can't seem to take a nap. So, today is a sleepy day and basically a family snuggle day in order to recover from their sleepovers last night. Praying for a very early bedtime for everyone tonight!

| Here's Emilie and my sweet little niece, Josephine! |
I've been having some issues at the gym over the last week or so with dizziness and nausa, so I finally went to the doctor last week to discover the crazy stuff going on with me is the result of a double ear infection and sinus infection. I don't think I've had an ear infection since elementary school, so I'm amazed at how much it really has messed with my equilibrium. Bending down to get the laundry or put dishes away makes my head throb and it feels like the world is spinning. So, I'm on antibiotics and taking a respite from the gym until I feel better doing daily chores. The timing sucks because we were supposed to start our CrossFit challenge last week, but I couldn't complete the 'starting' workout, so I won't be able to participate in the challenge. Maybe next year?
So, back to meal planning. . . How's the going for all of you? It's been a struggle in my house and so has baking since we are limiting our sugar intake. Poor me, right?
Here's the weekly menu:
Friday - Grilled chicken legs, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli
Saturday - Out to dinner
Well, have a great week everyone!
