planning a head

Okay people Today was a great day all because I planned a head. So last night I knew we were going on a long road trip, so I packed us snacks that were healthy. So I cut up apples, oranges, cucumber and cheese, made 3 sandwiches for the kids and a snack bag with a mix of cereals. So the apples didn't go brown I squeezed a fresh lemon on them and mixed them so then were well coated. My kids love the lemon apples, also works with lime. I tell ya planning a head saved me from eating the junk.  I did have 2 snack wraps but they are pretty good for calories, I didn't order any fries and I said no to an ice cream cone. Whoop whoop!! On the way home we were both so tired for some strange reason and my hubby suggested we pick up chicken stripes and fries and then we both decided to go home and make dinner. Good for us, so happy we both choose better.  I made us some lemon slovaki chicken and pan roasted potato and peas, was so good mmmmm.  The strange things is although i did great and made good choice I kept thinking I could have done better.  I guess I have to find a happy balance I'm working hard to find it.
So we started our road trip at the car wash the van was getting to dirty who wants to travel around in a mess. We then started our road trip up to Kilby farm house  in Harrison mills. I really enjoyed the ride up, its really peaceful.  We finally get up there and take a look around and then all of a sudden giant mosquito's start biting I start welting and then running to my van. Ya not the day trip i had invisioned but it did make it exciting.  Our dear turkey Boa had passed on but they did have some other characters there, there was the roster who walked right by my feet and did his cockle doddle doo and 3 aflac ducks. we met these guys down a narrow path we did single file and then the ducks did the same and we passed them no problem. I filmed a couple ducks having a nice chat. As we headed home we stopped in at the mission museum, we had never been there before. Nice small place worth stopping in to take a look.  Its great to get away to a foreign place but I suggest looking in your own area so many places waiting to be explored.  Today was great! talk to you later gator.
