I'm not sure if I want to cry or throw up. When I went to get in my van this morning, the entire driver side looked extremely dirty. No big deal, so I ran through the car wash before I came home. However, it still looks like that and it would appear that my 7 year old attempted to 'wash' my van with a sanding block. The sanding block was sitting in the middle of the garage floor and still wet. I knew she was messing with the outside faucet yesterday, but didn't think about what she was doing with the water.
I was sick to my stomach all afternoon just thinking about confronting her about it when she got home. She is remorseful and understanding of her punishment, no electronic devices for a period of time that will be determined when her daddy gets home. I'm dreading showing him the damage when he gets home. It looks promising for repairs though. I have an uncle who used to own a collision repair shop and still has all of his tools, he thinks that the damage is probably just through the clear coat and can be buffed out.

Daniel Fast 2014
This weekend our church will be beginning its annual corporate fast. It's up to each of us what and how we fast. My husband and I tend to choose the Daniel Fast. I've decided that, after a few years of spending too much time worrying about food during the 21 days, I needed to make up a meal plan for the full 3 weeks ahead of time. Here's our menu plan:
I'll make big batches of the breakfast muffins so that they're easy to grab on busy mornings. I'll also make a triple batch of corn muffins to have on hand for soup and chili nights. Since we have young kids, I will also be grabbing a big pack of chicken breasts to cook up and freeze. This way I'll be able to easily throw some meat into the stir-fry dishes for them.
Here's the recipe links if you're interested:
“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. Daniel 1: 12-15
