Sadie felt well enough to go back to school today. Lucky thing -- today was her turn to be Star of the Day! I decided not to push it by taking the kids to karate this afternoon. Anyway, dinner cooked much more quickly than I expected it to in the crock pot, so I don't want to leave it overcooking until 6:00 or later.

I tried a simple recipe for homemade tomato sauce and was very pleased with the results. I mixed it with elbow macaroni and browned ground turkey to make a casserole; I hope the kids like it. I think I overdid it on the garlic a bit.

Thanks to all of you who commented that you hoped Sadie felt better (and to those who thought it but didn't end up commenting -- yes, the thought counts even if we didn't know about it)!

That's going to hurt in the morning...

Six steps up from the bottom of the staircase, my foot slipped and I landed flat on my back. I didn't even have the presence of mind to try to catch myself because I was too busy trying not to drop the dishes I'd been carrying downstairs to be washed. At least the glasses didn't break; I'm not sure about my back, though.

Bedtime was really rough today. Despite obviously being tired, Sadie managed to stay awake until past 9:30. Also I made the mistake of trying to slip a change in Danny's bedtime routine. This is a kid who REALLY doesn't like change.

They're both asleep now, though. I'm going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and hope I'm not too sore when I wake up tomorrow.
