“This week we want to…” Get back on track. Not that any day is typical in our Sleepyhouse, but with so much coming and going this past holiday weekend, we're looking forward to being in the nest and following our own pursuits.
“The kids are…” Setting their own goals. DS12 told me he wants to make a new "things to do this summer" list, since he's already reached the goals he made previously. DS15 has been filming and editing all sorts of videos he's shot. I asked if he wants to move from documentaries and short fiction to possibility developing a pilot.
“I am learning….” How to add more nutrition to our diets. Added fresh ground flax seed meal to the menu this week in cereals and smoothies. Experimenting with green leafy smoothies too. I think I like drinking my salad.
I'm also learning how weight loss is so difficult due to the toxins that are stored in fat. Your body doesn't want to release those toxins so it actually fights against burning fat cells. I'm hoping to cleanse out the toxins with cruciferous veggies, water and exercise.
“I am struggling with…” The heat. My Nordic blood prefers cooler days. So do my sugar snap peas. :(
“This week is the first time….” I ate Swiss Chard. It rocks!
“I am grateful…” tonight is my last night of work for the week. There is so much to get done around the house with this being a short week due to the holiday last Monday.

Your boys are pretty amazing. It's nice to get back to a more "normal" routine after a vacation or a house full of extra folks. Swiss chard is quite good. I had it for the first time a month or so ago. It is SO good for us!!
NIce list. Always good to have goals. What kind of greens are you putting in your smoothies? I've only tried it with spinach
I've tried baby spinach or Swiss Chard and both were very yummy. I use about one packed cup of greens, or two handfuls, along with 1/2 a frozen banana, 1/2 c of non fat plain yogurt, almond milk and more frozen fruit such as pineapple, peaches, cherries or berries. Its sweet enough on its own with the banana. I also throw in a few spoonfuls of ground flax.
