Good Reminder...

"Homemaking-being a full-time wife and mother-is not a destructive drought of uselessness but an overflowing oasis of opportunity; it is not a dreary cell to contain one's talents and skills but a brilliant catalyst to channel creativity and energies into meaningful work."

-Dorothy Patterson

House Hunting...

Chris always looks at the price vs. the space. I just look at the cross streets. Its just faster that way.

On Yahoo News...

"With divorce rates rising, some countries are proposing nuptials with renewable contracts."

Sigh...

I Can't Help But Wonder...

Are people who I have never really been friends with "friending" me because they are curious how I turned out or because they want a lot of friends?

The Stallion...

Chris just baked a cake for a friend's daughter's birthday. It is a pink and purple guitar with flowers all over it. It is absolutely precious and I can't wait to see her face when she sees it. If you haven't seen one of Chris's cakes I am trying to get him to post pictures on his facebook page. He could really do this professionally or at least as a side job...

The Zoo...

Yesterday I took M and two friends to the zoo for a few hours. We rode the carousal, went to the petting zoo and monkey village and saw all sorts of animals.

Today I took Z and a friend to the zoo. We played at the water park, had a picnic lunch, looked at the giraffes and rode the carousal.

I was trying to figure out which day I enjoyed most. Both days were filled with challenges and excitement and I finally decided it is a tie. But I am a lot less tired today:D

Parenting...

Chris: Z, go use the bathroom.
Z: Why do you keep telling me to do that?
Chris: Because you keep grabbing yourself and dancing around!
Z: Yes, because I have to go potty!

I Think I Might Just Be...

more popular on facebook than in real life. Which is sad for the people who added me, since I'm not a very reliable cyber friend, as you all know too well;P

Whining...

My kids are not whiners. Thank goodness. After a brief period of time with whiny kids I was about to rip my ears off my head. (I'm not talking the occasional, "its hot outside", I'm talking the constant, cannot seem to speak in a normal tone of voice whining...)

I Joined...

facebook. Still not sure I get it yet. Plus I only have one friend, so I am also a big geek. Quick! Someone friend me!
