sweeties


These two win the angel award for the week.
Yesterday was a snow day (no, this picture was not taken yesterday as you can see from the green grass in the background).
They were home from school and I had to work.
At 4:50pm, they called work to ask if we could pick up a pizza on the way home and have pizza for supper. I was quick to oblige since I didn't feel like cooking.
When we got home, they had cleaned the whole house.... really well! And were waiting in their swimsuits to sit in the hot tub with us after we ate pizza.
Thanks girls. That was really really really nice of you.

T - I hopped over here from HisGirl's blog because, hello - you said the logo looks like San Francisco! That is too funny! Then I was reading your hilarious coffee poem, your quirk list - shout back from a pen people!! HAAAAYYY! Absolutely enjoyable reading! I accidentally clicked on one of the archive buttons in the middle of reading your SheSpeaks contest post and it opened up another contest you were talking about....iPod for youthgroup - I'm really curious to know what you ended up doing about that! Children who clean their OWN house? Voluntarily? I'm skeptical. Are you sure they didn't think they were at a friend's house? Nonetheless, very impressive.

I'm sending M. over for training! Wait, Abbie is over here tonight. Maybe she'll look around and have sympathy for me and get up in the middle of the night and when I get up in the morning......!!!!! I need to go to bed quick!

Seriously, though, your girls are all amazing that way.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk
