Spring cleaning and other stuff

That's what I did today. I cleaned out closets and the kitchen and organized a bit and got rid of some stuff. These kind of days always make me feel so good. Especially since last night we went to our storage shed and got out some stuff. Like all of our food storage and summer stuff and my ORANGE COUCH!!!

Oh yeah...!

I love that couch. It just makes me happy.

To you, it may look like an ugly, old lady couch.


But it has a lot of memories connected to it and I love it....

Tonight was Jenee's play and she did awesome! We were so happy to be able to be there to see it. Seriously Jenee, you did great!

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to get my kids to start talking without an attitude? Is that asking too much? I'm at a loss as to what to do and am starting to wonder if it's just normal and that theres nothing I can do about it....

I did not exercise today. But I did eat a Cadbury egg and some chocolate eggs and some jelly beans. And I managed to squeeze in leftovers for breakfast, some ham for lunch and a salad for dinner. And you don't want to know how much Diet Dr. Pepper I drank. And now that it's bedtime I think I'll drink some water and take my Metamucil. 

Hmmm.... Metamucil? Maybe that is an old lady couch.

Attitude? I don't believe any of your kids have attitude:) When mine do...I calmly (mostly calmly)ask them to repeat what they said in a respectful tone...If they can't-they get a mouth full of soap:) sometimes I think they don't even recognize they are giving you attitude

oh sarah I LOVE that orange couch. I too have many happy memories with it. Maybe because when I see it, I see you? So dont ever get rid of it. If you start thinking about doing so, send it our way. I will give it a good home. Love you Sis

It made me feel special to have you (and the family) come to my play. Thank you for your supportive words and encouragement throughout this whole experience. :o)

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...
