Wednesday's wonderings

Today's Harvest:
-3 cherry tomatoes. We're in a lull. I may pull some carrots for dinner tonight.

Wondering:
-about Silence (and here) and peace.
-about obedience. My girls don't do it. I seem to hinge everything on it. I've got a ten year heartache going on over it. I'm at a loss, and none of us want to "give in."

A Talent I Have:
At 39 years old I can still touch the top of my head with my toes, both feet at the same time.

Today's accomplishments so far:
-one chapter of Moccasin Trail read aloud
-the whopping 3 tomato harvest ;-)
-comforting and distracting a very whiny 10 month old, and worry about whether his two days of fussing means his tooth is abcessing
-put away the laundry from the past several days
-walked away when my blood started boiling and I wanted to yell
-called a belligerent child over and held her while she cried when what I wanted to do was criticize and run away
-several review spelling chapters in All About Spelling with my 10yo.

Tonight's dinner:
Not sure (I know, what happened to my nice menu plan?? LOL). Probably veggies and garbanzo beans stir fried in coconut oil, served on brown rice. Maybe salmon patties on the side (do I even have salmon??) Not the greatest combination, but I need "rib sticking" power... :-P

I am trying:
-to find and express my own style
-to reign in the big green monster (envy!) that has been threatening mightily lately
-to find something tasty, healthy AND filling to snack on, so I'm not up 10 minutes later looking to snack again.

Am I just easily outraged or what?

1.6 BILLION dollars? (link is a PDF - easier to read about via Ethicurean's link below). Do you know how much good could be done with that money?
