I was inspired by my good friend
Stephanies blog post yesterday...
"Do you know how much stuff I mostly do"..
Everything she said resonated with me~
and I just love her.
Here is my "what I mostly do"~

I had the kitchen completely clean today.
 I cleaned out the fridge (like, took out food and shelves and disenfected),
counters were scrubbed down,
floors were swept and polished
(okay~ just mopped),
dishwasher was running~
and in all the time it took me to do that, this is what my front room looked like.
And it still looked like that 2 hours later.
 And as of right now,
there are still piles of laundry to be folded,
a mop bucket to be emptied,
 and dishes yet again, need to be done.
BUT
 I had a great night.
I relaxed with my 5 most favorite people,
 trevor made some delicious peanut butter cookies (using only Adams pb, of course)
and Joshua fell asleep on the couch like he does every Tuesday night.

It was pure HEAVEN!

Sarah, I just love you woman!!! When I come to your blog, I feel almost at home. :o)
I *love* this post! -I needed to read this tonight... (before going to bed with a *no-longer* worried mind over a messy Kitchen because I wanted to be outdoors with the family after dinner.)
Thanks!

I love following your blog, Sar! Your kitchen looks beautiful! It makes me realize that I need to take pride in the mundane accomplishments I make-- even if it's nothing but laundry. And not become discouraged by what I don't get done! Thanks!!! Love ya!

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...
