Did this meat come from a dead animal?

I just got done reading a book called the long run. It is about a NY firefighter who was a marathon runner and an Iron man finisher.  In 2005 he got hit by a bus and it changed his life forever.  Anyway the just of the story was overcoming obstacles.  I will always remember Matt Long and his story for as long as I live.  you can YouTube Matt long and get a glimpse of his life.  It was a pretty good book and reminded me that even in tough times there are others out there who are really struggling.

Today wasn't the best of days with me and the kids.  I picked up Cam and Cayden from school early to take them to the dentist.  I was in such a rush that I forgot the paper work and had to reschedule.  I am not a big fan of kids not minding in public.  As a matter of fact I'm not a big fan of kids acting out anytime.  Well I asked the boys to put their shoes on and stop playing on the little gym they had there.  They didn't listen, they continued to play.  I finally got them out and gave them a stern lecture.  Well then we went to the grocery store and I had to ask them over and over to stop playing.  I finally told them that when they get home they are going to have to sit on their beds until they gave me a good apology and told me that they would start acting good.  They finally started acting well and we had a good time afterwards. 

At dinner I cooked steak.  While we were eating Cayden asked if this was from a dead animal.  We explained that all meat in from some sort of animal.  The look on his face was priceless....

Rebecca and I had some quiet time tonight on the porch.  For the first time since we got the boys we sat outside in the cool breeze and drank a glass of wine.  It was great being able to just sit down and talk like adults...

I hope tomorrow goes well.  I go back to work so Rebecca will have all the kids for the first time at night and in the morning.  It should be interesting.

I truly hope that all of this works out well.  I hope that these kids are reunited with their parents and have a wonderful life.

To be continued...
