As far as the kids go, I have been torturing them by telling them they can not live on my computer. So far the kids have been great at making sure their beds are made and clothes picked up before playing on the computer. I think I will start adding dishwasher duty to their pre-computer time chores. : ]

today was a disappointment for food. I typically like to over estimate on the actual points I use. I ended up over. I had cheese on my sub from subway. That adds 1.5 points, I had extra 2 points for some M&M's that I had for dessert today and I had an apple and peanut butter which I really didn't need for breakfast. I made some poor decisions. I will fix it. A positive additude is the only way to be. Next week I will be able to have 'activity points' which allow you to subtract points from your total. Yeee Haaaa!
Thursday points 30 : {

How can you be so cruel to those poor unfortunate children? Perhaps you should dress them up in dresses and force them to eat gruel too? He he he. It's so tough to be a kid. Hey, Rache, here's a recipe for the peanut butter noodles I told you about. I don't know how many points it is, but is pretty tasty, and I use reduced fat peanut butter and splenda.

2 tablespoons reduced fat peanut butter (the jar says 130 calories)
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 packet of sweetener. I used splenda, but equal would be fine. I just took a bunch of packets when I went for coffee.
1 crushed garlic clove, minced
1 pinch of hot peppers flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon balsamic (or other) vinegar

Pour over cooked spaghetti and boiled or steamed broccoli. Yum. Thai Pasta.
