Make a Meal Monday

3 cups water
6 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
Boil veggies and water in large pot for about 10 minutes or until veggies are soft. While veggies cook, prepare white sauce:
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
4 cups milk
Melt margarine over med-high heat, add flour, salt and pepper. Add milk and stir until thick. Add white sauce to boiled undrained veggies. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and several slices of bacon, cooked and cut into small pieces. Heat through and serve.
I'm old enough to remember the days of mid-week Primary. My mom used to make this soup because it was quick to make after returning home from Primary. Thus, Primary Soup. It is the best dinner on a cold night!

Back to School: Part 2

Jared started Kindergarten yesterday. It was rough. He was very nervous about the whole thing. I also started school yesterday. I began my college career for the third time. I am taking 4 classes on tuesdays and thursdays. During the second class Bryan sent me a text saying that Jared was really scared about going to school. The texts kept coming and Jared was getting more and more upset. I skipped the other two classes to take Jared to school. He was okay until it came time to walk into the school with the other kids and I stayed outside. He almost cried. But he was brave and followed his teacher. When I picked him up he seemed to have enjoyed his first day. He told me a little about what he did. Then I mentioned something about it being better tomorrow. He lost it. He cried and yelled, "you mean I have to go back again?!" Turns out he was just really bored. I hope today his teacher is keeping him busy.
