But What if the Children Aren't Asleep?

I have mixed feelings about this post simply because I feel like a child holding up four fingers and announcing, "I'm four years old today!"  I'm not looking for well wishes or anything else. It's just that I got a really good present and I can't help myself but share. The stipulation was that I had to keep it on my bed and had to pass it on to someone else after one year. It requires no more explanation.

    I'm not sure about the pillow. I think it will be good to pass it on. My pillow would say "Get Real" on one side and "Not Even" on the other.

    I love it, my husband said, I can just leave it on the "Not Tonight" side. Lol. Just came across your cute blog. I've recently started one up for all the moms out there, hoping to gather advice, and share tips. So feel free to check it out, and please, leave comments :)

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people.

She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
