Lovely Sundays

I love Sundays!  For the last year or so I have been very protective of my Sundays.  I don't let people swindle me into tasks, plans, get together's, babysitting, or football parties.  All of those things are grand, and maybe once in a couple months I will do them but Sundays are solely dedicated to my three R's: routine, relaxation, and restoration.  My life is so chaotic that I demand Sundays be as routine for Sassy as possible.  Bottom line, church comes before all.  Church is all.  Without that fundamental foundation of fellowship, learning, accountability, and worship my life is angry and chaotic.  I want Sassy to know that church and God come first, all other plans are optional.  The only thing I schedule on Sundays is church so it is naturally a very relaxing day.  I do not do housework or unwanted tasks.  It is a day of restoration for a busy and stressful week.  We look forward to our Sunday worship together.  Sassy takes it seriously.  She loves going to church and gets upset if we have to miss it for some reason.  She loves taking communion and prays during the service.  I am so proud of her!  I know I said if I could do it all over again I would but realistically Sassy and I are in a great place spiritually and obediently.  Words can't express how grateful I am for that.

Has anyone ever heard of Monvee?  We got the pack for like $10 at my church this past Sunday and I am so excited to get started.  :o)  I really need to value my church more and see it for the spiritual discipleship it has.

After church we sometimes go to lunch.  I'd say about half the time.  We either go to Boston Market, Bertucci's, Chipotle, or Panera.  This time it was Bertucci's.  I am on a thing where I eat 10 fruits or veggies a day.  No matter what.  Meats, cheeses, sweets all have to be fit in but 10 is a mandatory daily.  I love it!!  The check is always so small at Bertucci's because you get free bread with oil and free salad.  Sassy got Ravioli and I got a veggie platter.  This accounted for a few of my veggie servings.  :)

Romas, Artichokes, Roasted peppers, Roasted garlic, Zucchini, Eggplant, Broccoli.

This time we shopped at Target.  I've been carrying around my old raged Nine West snakeskin bag for years.  I got a new one.  :) I know it won't hold up as long but oh well.  It's greyish.

I also bought this:

Now I can watch anytime!  :)

This Sunday I had to make more of my breakfast cereal.  I eat it every single morning with vanilla Soy Milk.  It's all gluten free.  :)

I mix all these ingredients and scoop it out for breakfast.  

This Sunday we relaxed watching movies, playing with Cora, and eating left overs.
