MW Y MW - Breakfast

I'm tired. Really tired. We woke our kids up at 4:20am to drive my husband to the airport. And I'm realizing that food=energy, just like I learned in biology class oh so long ago (or was it chemistry... ha!)

I'm drinking my morning pot of coffee and headed out for a "Breakfast meeting" with a friend. I'll be skipping breakfast though - so will return with a breakdown of what I would have spent.

This morning, as you rise and motivate yourself to tackle a Wednesday, please remember, please reflect on how blessed we are. The only real obstacles to my day are the little green army guys spread all over my living room floor. I'm not stepping over bodies, wondering what to do with amputated parts, or mourning the loss of my child.

I am blessed. YOU are blessed. Dear God, please help Haiti.

MW Y MW - Breakfast Update/Lunch

While I didn't eat anything at my breakfast meeting, my heart is full after an incredible time of sharing/talking with Erin. Sometimes I believe I hold myself out of friendships because I'm worried about my own imperfections or the ways I might have to be honest in order to engage in them. Yet, we have been shown by Haiti that there is little that is sure in this life. I want to be open to what God has for me today.

I'm surviving on coffee. This isn't uncommon for me - although normally it isn't my only sustenance. Today I've already drank 2 pots + 40 ounces - whatever that means. At the coffee shop this morning, if I was eating, I would have had a muffin or a piece of quiche. Money for Haiti? $5.50 plus $2.50 for coffee that I actually did drink. ($21.05 total)

For lunch my kids' and I drove through McDonalds. Since we'd been up since 4:20, the two younger ones fell asleep in the car. I ordered my older son a #12 and drove around for 45 minutes with him, talking about school, girls and all manner of things. He has a beautiful heart and many good questions. I spent $5.60 on his lunch. ($26.65 total)
