Meal #12

Phew wee!  What a day.  It took discipline to just come to this computer to let you know how it all got done.  Our family got up this morning to walk the Lilburn Christmas parade.  Our church walks at the end to pick up the trash.  That was a good time to be with each other but more importantly we were Loving God and Serving People.  We left there and rushed home because I was meeting my brother for the SEC Championship game over near the GA Dome at 1:30.  I got home at 11:45 and I still had to shower and deliver my meal for today.  So I got myself ready and dished up the chili.  On the way home from the parade, Derek stopped off at the store to buy chips for the side and last night Moira made cookies.  So I packed all that up, took it next door and was on my way to the Dome by 12:50.  The kids had a Christmas party to go to tonight so Derek was in charge of getting their gifts together and getting them there.  I got a text from him during the game asking if I had his keys.  Hmmmmm, not that I knew of but my purse was locked in my brother's car so who knows?  So Derek juggled a bit more than he expected to get the kids a ride to church.  (This is when we are glad we live 3 miles from the church.)
I head home from the game around 8:30 and start thinking about my day tomorrow which consists of another meal, church, choir practice after church (which I am director) and then our church board Christmas dinner at 5:30 p.m. with a dish prepared.  I begin to think I had better get some of that done tonight.  So I stop by Kroger on the way home from the game, get the rest of the ingredients for the dish to the board dinner and a dessert option for the meal I need to deliver tomorrow.  I already know that I have all the makings for the Santa Fe soup.  I walk in the door and start getting everything out to brown the meat for the soup.  I, literally, throw it all together and that is simmering now for the last hour and a half.  Tomorrow when I get home from church I will make that frozen lime pie that I made last week as lemon.  And for the board dinner I am just making green bean casserole so nothing too labor intensive there.  So I think I will get 2 meals out of the Santa Fe soup and I still have chili for 2 that I may use for Monday.  My kids have informed me they are getting a little sick of soup.  hahahahaha  I suppose I am too.  I'll go to sleep tonight thinking of different ways to keep us all happy.  :)  Oh and by the way, Derek's keys were in the bottom of my purse.  We have no idea how but they were.  AND my treasured Gamecocks lost, but it'll take more than that to keep me from Loving God and Serving People.
