I'm about read for spring break to be over

Past ready.

The girl had surgery a week ago.  She's on the mend but both she and Hubby have been ill and the boy has been Mr. Cranky-pants because I've not been able to give him my full attention.  Additionally it has been dark and dreary for the last ten days.

I won't complain, no way.  I know once we get back to school we have a six week schlog until summer break.  The boy has just about given up on school (his present situation is unhappy and we are already starting to home school).  Hubby is itching to get back to full health and back to daily work outs and lots of outdoor activities.  The girl goes with her class to Atlanta the day after she goes back to school and we are all concerned for her (will she be able to keep up with her classmate?  If not, what is to be done for her?)

I'm very ready to be done caring for invalids.  Yes, it's selfish of me, but I want to go out for dinner without having to ask for everything to be packed up to go because one of our family is too ill to sit though dinner.  I want to see a movie without having to race home in the middle because someone is too sick to sit though the show.

And so forth.

So, food today;

I made pancakes and boiled eggs for breakfast.
Ham and cheese for the boy for lunch.  Just cheese for the girl.  Just butter and toast for me.
I made chicken-apple sausages with hash-browns for dinner.
Ice cream for dessert.

You may have noticed that there has been a complete lack of fruit and veggies of late.  The girl can't swallow much and the boy won't eat most fruit or veggies, so I've backed off this week while I have two ill people at home.  Starting tomorrow we go back to 5 servings a day.
