Ready to Get Back to it - Primal

I have been absent these past few days but I had a good reason. My husband was deployed to the Middle East yesterday. It has been a rough weekend to say the least. Saturday we had the departure ceremony. Sunday was football with friends and Monday was the extremely long, but not long enough, drive to drop off my husband so he can go to his mobilization site. Just picture me with a sad face.

Didn't mean that I wasn't trying to be primal. I did try, but with being on the road so much the choices were limited. At the Verizon Wireless Center in Manchester, there literally was nothing primal in the place. We arrived at 12 , for my husband had formation. The ceremony was at 2. We had planned on us getting food before we got there as we had a car full of children. Traffic held us up and we got there just in time.

Once we were in we were stuck there. No running for a coffee. But I do have to say that they treated us very well while we were there. A local Baptist church was handing out baggies of homemade cookies and brownies. Another group was handing out water, juice and snacks. A booth was also set up from the USO and they had crayons and activities for the kids to do while they sat and waited.

The kids kind of pigged out. They were hungry and it was cookies. Normally I would have said something but seeing as to what they were there for, I figured it wouldn't really hurt them.

New Day

Today is a new day. I am starting off with some good quality coffee with cream, no sugar. I am also having some scrambled eggs. Then I am off to help at the local food pantry. I am bringing a big *** salad with me so I can eat while I am there.
