Snack time

And relaxing time. 

We put the kids to bed with the instructions that we don't want to hear a word at all from anyone.

This is mom's time to sit and relax; reading apartment therapy comments (they're so snarky..),

 eating some chocolate and peanut butter and slowly sipping my soda. 
I did not attempt another chocolate cake today. 

I needed time to accept defeat and I figure tomorrow will be long enough

 that I can handle another possible failure. 

Plus if my cake does work out, it'll be a perfect snack to eat 

while we lounge by the lake in the afternoon....

I love the weekend.

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.

Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

It really was nice until Stephen said a naughty word~ to Emily. My lazy mind picked right up and I whipped my head around. "What did you just say" "I didn't know it was a bad word" "Yes you did. Otherwise you wouldn't be starting to cry right now" I felt just like the mom from that Christmas movie as I marched him right up the stairs and into the bathroom. Thank goodness I still buy bar soap. I stuck it right in his mouth and continued to lecture him about why we don't say those words and how those words hurt Heavenly Fathers feelings. I left the soap in for a full minute and he cried the whole time. And of course Trevor was standing around the corner smiling and smirking. But I was mad! And Stephen really di...
