Day 5 - Touch  

The Husband has been hard at work doing his 30-day cleanse. And by The Husband, I mean me. He's reaping the benefits of my hard work, haha, but if it helps him feel better and have more energy and get his metabolism back on track, then I will continue doing what I can to help.  Day 5 started last night since his daily schedule is backwards from the average person.  For breakfast (9pm), I fixed him a creamy Dutch chocolate isalean shake.

Day 5 of Capturing December - Today's Temperature

Today, I'm thankful for an acceptable and delicious substitute for the yogurt (soooo good) I typically eat for breakfast but ran out of two days before payday/grocery shopping day.  Nutella.  You and I have had a love affair for many years. Spoonfuls of you throughout the day kept me going while teaching kindergarten. Mixed in with smoothies, you helped me survive morning sickness. Warmed with milk, you make a splendid hot cocoa on cold nights.  This morning, you, blended with some peanut butter, made a nice (semi-healthy morning sandwich.  My tummy thanks you. 

Day 5 of my Thirty Days of Thankfulness : I'm incredibly thankful for my mom's successful laparoscopic surgery today!  All went well, no signs of cancer, and minimal blood-loss. Such a HUGE praise! Thank you for your prayers!
