This morning when I woke up I had a headache. I keep waking up with headaches. Not bad ones. Just the kind that you get when you've been clenching your jaw all night due to stress from drama over a church calling. Anyway, for some reason which I no longer remember, I told Denver that I had a headache and he asked how I got a headache. And I said, "I don't know. I just woke up with a headache." And then Denver said, "So waking up gives you a headache?" And all I could think was, You have no idea. . . .
Then for dinner I didn't have much of anything except for a few freezer meals that I received for my birthday over a year ago. Finances are tight as usual so I've been trying really hard to use up whatever food we've already got before I go back to the grocery store and spend a bunch of money I don't have. So this morning I raided the downstairs freezer and grabbed a few frozen meals so they could thaw while we were at church. I made some homemade breadsticks and heated everything up and we sat down to what I thought looked like a pretty decent dinner. The boys immediately started complaining about their food and like any good mother I basically told them to stop whining and eat what they'd been given or they wouldn't get any of Denver's birthday cake. After I finished my vegetarian chili, I decided to try some of the stuff they were complaining about. I ate a bite and immediately spit it back out onto my plate. "Never mind guys. You don't have to eat that stuff." Denver set his fork down and looking half relieved and half confused said, "How come you made yucky stuff for my birthday?" And that's when I thought. . . Yeah, except guess what, Denver? I didn't mean to--it just turned yucky by itself.
