Weekend Update
...but a lot less humorous.
We did about $425 at school store today; this would have been stellar last year, but we've all raised the standards and so we're glad, but not elated. We are, however, a little pleased to discover that we're $450 away from making the budgeted income for the year.
I'm happy it's Friday, for sure. Usually I'm so busy the weekend sneaks up on me, but this time I'm ready for it. After I work in the morning, we're hoping to track down the rumor of a drive-in theatre still operating outside Tomball. The LC had another great report card, so we thought that kind of treat would be in order. It will be a first time for either of us to go to a drive-in. JJ will be in heaven.
Hopefully nothing will happen this weekend and I will get some needed down time. Or shopping time. Or coupon filing time.
What I really need to be doing is researching low-cholesterol recipes, as JJ has been to the doctor and earned himself a prescription of Lipitor. He's cringing at the thought of giving up queso, as his motto has always been that there isn't anything that can't be made better with cheese. I can tell you, though, the new Green Giant Healty Weight, Immunity Boost, and other varieties, however good or bad they are for one, taste really good! He says they taste vegetable-y, but he ate them. Good. Because unless he's tripling his life insurance coverage, he's lowering these numbers pronto.

I have Paul drinking those Promise supershots (found with the yogurt) and eating oatmeal for breakfast. His came down 13 points.
DH had high cholesterol 8 weeks ago and drastically changed his diet and it is low now (he was able to lower it 40 points!). I don't think he is eating enough protein so we are looking into ways to change the whole family's diet and bring in more cholesterol-free protein.
Good luck to JJ! DH misses queso and tortilla chips - his usual Sat. night snack.
