Permission Slip...Plus

 Happy Day After Thanksgiving Friends.  🦃 🧡

Around here, the dishes are mostly conquered, and our elastic waistbands are working overtime....I can assure you I will be wearing loose waist bands for a few days.  

I do hope that everyone had a great day yesterday... A day full of good food, family and friends, and at least one thing that made your heart sing praises to the Lord for all of His goodness.  

Today, though?

Today is for leftovers and pretending calories don't count if the food has rested in the refrigerator overnight and then reheated.  ????

I woke up this morning feeling like my workout yesterday was sure enough a difficult workout.  I mean, lifting the heavy roasting pan 28 times, washing pots, pans, and washing out a 100 other dishes, will give you a workout like none other.  How did I not lose weight with this kind of workout?

LOL...there were times when I felt like I was an underpaid Dish washer who needed a pay raise.  Naw...my girls did most of the work!

So tell me....are you one of those sensible people who eats yogurt and fruit, for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving?  OR.....are you one who opens the refrigerator and goes straight to the left over pie or the left over dressing?

I'm in the dessert camp.  I go straight to the German Chocolate cake.  You all know how I feel about chocolate...I'm not a big fan of this brown/black sweet flavor, but when it comes to the German Chocolate cake, the chocolate taste becomes heaven sent.  No judgment please!! LOL

Mylee taught us a new card game!  It's called "Slap" for which I was a little leery of.  This is such a fun game and I was super proud of myself for learning how to play (after at least a dozen games.) The guys were watching the "Chiefs and the Cowboys" game.

... I'm sure that there is one of you out there that needs to hear this.  

If you washed dishes yesterday, washed dishes last night, and find yourself now washing those dishes that needed to soak overnight..., then DO NOT Feel guilty about pulling out the disposable bowl for your breakfast this morning...you deserve it and you need to feel ZERO guilty about doing so.  

  

Oh yes...Yesterday we made memories around the table, on the couches, in my kitchen that was full of chaos and clatter...We said "pass the rolls" numerous times, but we also gave thanks for our home and for the people we love.  We thanked God for all of His provisions and His goodness.  It was a Beautiful day and one that we were so Thankful for. 

Today, I'm giving myself a special permission slip to do what I want to do.  You will not guess what it's going to be!!!!     ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Believe it or not....I'm going to do something today that I said I was not going to do.  YEP, I am going into town with the girls...shopping!!  Not for long though... They want to pick up a few things on sale and of course, we will have lunch.  We will be neglecting those leftovers that are stacked in my refrigerator.

I'm not a nap taker, but I just might grab one later today.

Just a reminder....If yesterday was beautiful ....full of laughter with your family, then I do hope you will hold those memories close.  

If yesterday was hard...kinda empty, then I want you to know that I care, and you are very important to me. 

From my leftover filled kitchen to yours....I hope everyone had a great day and I hope today meets you with peace.  Love you all. 

Shug...
