I have failed~

I failed at being a mother this morning. The kind of mother that is kind and patient. My darling childen kept fighting and wrestling so I put a stop to it. And I got mad at them. And I
was not too kind about it either. Then I went and took a shower and felt really bad about it.
Am I the only one who gets so overloaded that I speak "too loudly" to my children?
I failed this morning but I still have this aftenoon to do better and well, the rest of my life to do
better.
On the bright side, last night I made a delicious dinner that everyone ate. Not just me, Trevor
and the girls. But the boys also!!!
Sure it was different and Trevor said that some people would have to bribed to eat it at first,
after which they would love it, it was healthy and delicious.
It was homemade pizza with bean sauce, black beans and corn, chicken, tomatoes and avocados.
Mmmmm. I think I will have it for lunch today even though I already had it for breakfast~
Here is the pizza crust recipe, which is the best one I have ever used btw....
~Now I have to go get Stephen from school and give him a very big hug and kiss~

Here's to some nice, warm, sun-filled days~ SOON!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
