My current mode of transportation sounds more like a prop plane taking off on our driveway than my sporty little green Honda. Do you think I can send a bill to the county for a new muffler? I wish they would plow before the road has to be driven on. I guess that’s the price we pay for living in the toolies!
I really can’t even believe my blessings. For the longest time I thought I wouldn’t have children then we were blessed with Ben. Seven years later God answered my prayers and coincidentally the prayers of women in my church group, The Ladies of the Round Table. Along came mister Zander. Well now I am expecting again and Zander is only 8 months old. It’s hard for me to make it real yet, but I know it is. We are going to have 3 children in our family and I have to admit the task seems a little daunting at times. But I know that God is by my side and I am surrounded by friends and family that love me and Mitch and my kids, so we will be fine.
Thank you Heavenly Father for the gifts you bless my life with each and every day on this earth. Another day on earth is a blessing in itself, but you have overflown my cup and I praise you for this!
I have attempted to make meals that are not boring and not the same every week. I have been told by Ben and Mitch to stick to the old favs – cause they aren’ t much for experimenting – they like what they like. But I get bored very easily and I don’t want to eat the same thing every week.
I finally tried something different that was a real home-run!
I had some hamburger buns left over in the fridge, so I took them out, cut them in half, slathered butter on the top and popped them int he over to broil for two minutes. I fried some hamburger with chili seasoning. Added the hamburger to the bun topped with shredded cheese and broiled for another 2 minutes. Both of them loved it and expressed thanks more than once. This morning Mitch said I should really make that again.
So I guess I won’t stop cooking for the two picky-butts:-)
I smell it in the air. It was so cool today we had to wear a cover for our skin! I like it…actually I love it!
This is my favorite time of the year. Not just because my wedding anniversary is right around the corner, but because the air is crisp the ground is starting to harden and the leaves will be changing any day.
The air of fall seems cleaner than any other air of the year. This is definitely the best change of seasons. It was so hot and muggy the last few weeks and now it’s fresh and new again.
You have to love northern Minnesota its extreme weather changes!
As I was driving this morning a thought accurred to me – Through the woods and over the hill I go…Well its not a hill so much as a rise in the road, but when you live in the flattest place in Minnesota that’s what you get!
Ok I have deleted my Housewives fantasy completely! I felt so guilty sitting on my couch last night watching the ridiculous display playing out on my television. Even for me, the self-proclaimed reality TV junkie, the nonsense on last nights episode of the Jersey Housewives was too much! So I deleted it and some other recordables.
I really would like to be off TV for good, but unfortunately when I have had a really long day and the kids are in bed I like to check out for a while and staring at that box helps me do it! I know I should boot up and start writing or pull out my latest greatest read and work my brain a little more, but I just don’t have the energy, so until another light bulb goes on I will have to deal with it.
I am making progress. I turned from it this morning to my computer, so maybe it’s a sign.
I touched someones life. I didn’t jsut make them smile or give them something to make them happy. I actually mad a difference in a little girls life.
One of my pris has a more than somewhat complicated home life – to say the least. Her Grandma came up to me yesterday at church and said that she talks about me constantly. She was so proud because I told the class that I would be at their spring program at school. She told her Grandma that only two people came to see her perform. Her mom and me. The anxiety I experience each Wednesday when I am rushing off to church and not cooking my family supper has dissapeared. I have made a difference. I am doing my job!
I got to accompany my son and his class to the Shrine Circus! I was so excited to finally get to go on a field trip with Benjamin! I have been waiting for this since he was born.
When they sent home the sign up I immediately sent it back. Then a letter came home stating they would only take 4 parents from each class. I decided I was going whether or not I rode on the bus, so I had the teacher take my name out of the drawing so another parent would have the chance and I planned to drive myself.
It was as much fun as I had thought it would be! The kids were awsome and I think they had a good time too!
We went to Detroit Lakes last weekend to meet Tricia and Christian. The boys played and played and played and talked and talked and talked. Oh and we googoo and gaagaaed over the baby to of course! It was so much fun.
The boys played in the pool and had a blast as well. Ben is just learning to swim. He still uses his floaties on his arms, but he is getting so brave it’s great! He still gets a little nervous when his head goes under the water. I always tell him not to panic and just take deep breaths. Well he started to jump in the water in the deep end. One time he came up gagging and flailing his arms, so I ran over to him. I told him to stop panicking and take a deep breath, to which he replied, “Mom I am not panicking I was just afraid I was going to drown!”
Ha! Well there you have it!
