My goal at the beginning of the day was to live so I didn’t feel stressed. A lot of that was ignoring the clock and not criticizing myself. I also stayed on task better but also didn’t try to just rush through things and try to fit too much in.

One of my chores today was weeding. I’m a non traditional weeder. I only get rid of some of the weeds. And I eat the other ones. Seriously. Here’s how to eat weeds.

1. Collect dandelion greens and some leftover beet greens.
2. Saute with olive oil and mushrooms
3. Add some ham and put on the bottom of a casserole dish
4. Pour in 6-8 beaten eggs (from our own chickens) mixed with salt and pepper
5. Top with cheese and bake at 400 for 30 minutes

We went to the park for a picnic and stopped by a restaurant for ice cream cones. It was  bit cold and rainy, but fun nonetheless. Later I let the kids play with oobleck. I don’t think Henry has ever played with it before and he loved it.

Tonight was Peter’s first piano recital. He was bright red, but played really well.
