Went into town mid morning and picked up the grandkids.  We had to stop at Walmart to get some “real” food for them as I don’t have good stuff in the house any more.  Stopped and picked them up some breakfast and then headed for the hills.

They colored their Easter eggs around noon.  I am amazed I had some I didn’t break. I seem to be on a roll breaking eggs the last couple of days.  Not sure what my problem is but I have broken more eggs this week than I have in months.

It is 1:00 and I haven’t fixed the kiddos their lunch yet.  They haven’t stopped eating all day so am not sure when they might get hungry.  They requested spaghetti and meat balls for lunch.  Won’t take long to fix if and when they get hungry.  So far I haven’t been tempted by the food they are eating.  They will have to take any they haven’t finished eating home with them though.  I don’t want to tempt myself beyond reason.

Booked a flight to Newark last night which is the start of our Italy adventure in May.  When I got the confirmation I noticed I spelled Nicole incorrectly so had to cancel the reservation and rebook.  I’m glad I caught it as I’m not sure they would have allowed her on the flight if her name didn’t match her passport.  Sometimes the security people are pretty lax and wouldn’t notice but sometimes they have eagle eyes.  Didn’t want to risk it.  Luckily because I cancelled so quickly there were no penalties.

I have tried a couple of times to reserve our seats for that flight but haven’t had any luck yet.  Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if their web site is not working correctly.  With the snow storm out east and all the cancelled flights their site may be  operating on overwhelm.  I’ll try again later.

Today is the day to charge the dog’s collars.  The dogs all got lightly sprayed with skunk last night.  My kitchen had a brief odor of skunk while the collars were charging.  The garage stinks too as I locked the dogs in the garage while was I charging the collars.  I didn’t give the dogs much love when I took the collars off and put them back on.  Yuck!

Another spring day on the prairie.  Bright blue skies and in the 70’s.  There is a bit of wind so it doesn’t feel as warm as it is out.  Rain clouds move in tonight and tomorrow.  Bring on the rain!

Tagen wants to spend the night but Ellexia is not sure she does.  I’ll see how this plays out tonight.  Not sure if Mom has something planned for tomorrow for them to do.  My schedule is free so we will see what comes of all of this.

Slept eight hours again last night if I add it all together.  Four nights this week I have managed to get eight hours of sleep.  Even though it comes in spurts it is way more sleep than I have gotten for years.  Thank you Bright Line Eating!  Now to work on sleeping eight hours straight without waking up.  A girl can dream – right?

Ellexia has decided she is hungry and wants lunch NOW!  Better go feed her before she gets mad.  She isn’t fun when she gets hungry and mad.

Grateful for catching my booking mistake quickly and getting it fixed easily, grateful the grandkids came to play today, and grateful for sleep – even if it happens in spurts.
