Whew! Today is almost over. Today was a definitely a long day. I did not get up early and walk the treadmill. Instead, I got up at 7:00 AM and cooked turkey sausage, and eggs. I made a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese muffin breakfast sandwich for everyone. I then load all the kids up and went to my sons baseball practice. While at his practice I ran the bases for his team for the first hour and half of practice. I figured I got pretty good exercise doing that. However, my body is stiff tonight.
Because my wife is working on her masters degree I made a Dad Day with the kids. After my oldest son's practice we ate at Diamond Head Chinese Buffet because kids 10 and under are free on Saturdays and Sundays. What! You ate at a buffet? Doesn't that go against this journey you have started? Before you get to excited I did not eat the buffet. Instead, I ordered off the menu. I had my Diet Pepsi and crab and scallops with vegetables in garlic sauce. I had it over steamed rice instead of fried rice because it was healthier. It also came with a choice of soup or salad. For a change I went with the soup. I got the hot and sour soup because I thought it would be healthier than the egg drop soup. The good news is I also took home a doggie bag. I had leftovers from a restaurant! I took my time eating and only ate half of the entree I ordered. I took the rest home and my wife ate it for dinner.
After lunch I took the kids to see Rio at the movie theatre. At the theatre we split a Large Diet Coke and a pack of sour gummy worms. I think it broke down to about 5 worms a piece. After the movie ended the kids and I went home where we worked in the garden for a couple of hours. We tilled the soil again (used the tractor) and then I dug two rows where we planted red onion, white onions, and yellow onions. We are going to try and plant some additional things through the week.
Once we were done in the garden I made baths for the kids and heated left over pizza up for them. By this time it was 8:00 PM so they ate dinner and went to bed. When my wife got home from cleaning the church she ate my left over Chinese food and I ate a 6 inch turkey ham and cheese sandwich, 1/2 a slice of pizza, and a couple of bites of the vegetables from lunch. Overall, it was a good day. I did eat later than I needed to, but since I was working in the garden while we had daylight I do not think it could be helped. Furthermore, after eating I have stayed up for another 3.5 hours. Tomorrow is a new day and I look forward to it!
