Meatball Monday

The diurnal round; being structured and bound

Provides a menu of predictable continuum.

Sunday: Pie day

Monday: Meatballs

Tuesday: Chicken Tacos

Wednesday: Spaghetti Bol 

(Just NOT spaghetti/linguine/fettucine... basically any other pasta that doesn't involve industrious oral sensory mastery of tiny slurpy worms..."I'll be hungry forever mum!")

 Thursday: Mother of the Year meal (read, "Beans on Toast")

Friday: Make Your Own Pizza But Only Cheese 

(and a giant carafe for mama in front of the telly)

Saturday: Reset with a healthy stirfry, including broccoli 

("I'm SOOOO allergic mum!"

 Bring on the weekly cruciferous meltdown...)

My tiny Captain rules a spectrum of rainbows; fractured and fraught.

A spectrum of perfect sense to him,

If I could only sense

A little more of

anything really...

Tonight's very ordinary dinner is worthy of posting because Monday Meatballs, 

in the Measly Mastercheffing earned 

"3000/10".

I just need to say it again...

Mama earned 3000/10.

For Monday's Meatballs.

Oh yes I did.

The Captain and the Ninja held counsel over dinner.

The Captain and the Ninja judged.

The Ninja begged "more mushrooms!!"

The Captain stated, "3000/10 mum!" 

What?

Really?

You're gonna eat that?
Without whingeing?

I don't believe it.

Errrr Mah Spectrummy Gahhhhd! The rainbow has delivered!!!!

I figured it out?

I tuned in right today?

I understood????

 For one magic moment, I dare to wonder if I

Could I be on the cusp of a cure???

For one magic moment, I dare to wonder if I

Could predict what tomorrow will bring???

For one magic moment, I dare to wonder if 

WE MADE IT???

Ahhhh. No.

 Not Now. Not Yet.

 Perhaps Not Ever.

But it's ok.

I know this.

Because there have been many fragmented moments of magic in our rainbow; 

Me and my tiny Captain.

When I look in the mirror of myself I see a smouldering, gaping abyss of meaning and purpose.

Yet, when I look in the mirror, together with my tiny Captain and our spectrummy rainbow...

EVERY fractured blob on our palette offers another expression of colour; purpose and opportunity.

When you're blessed with a Rainbow of Unexpected Possibilities; yes, a tiny Captain,

they say "practice makes permanent".

Heck yeah!!! We made them Monday Meatballs 

RIGHTEOUS & GOOD.
