For Thursday April 23. Today I attended a cooking class. I spent most of the class visiting with other moms and having a good laugh.

For Wednesday April 22. Today I am thankful for 1.5 hours to myself. Aly was at preschool, the boys were at school and I was home and did nothing.  It was wonderful. I had a nap and just relaxed. Sometimes a silent home is a blessing.

I am thankful for a days end. I am so tired today and it was such a busy day. Not a bad day by any means but a busy one. I am so glad to have made it through the whole day and to have accomplished everything I needed to. Mostly I am thankful to […]

I am thankful for time spent reconnecting with old friends. Tonight a friend of mine and Rob’s who we haven’t seen for a while quite a while came for supper. It was so nice just catching up and talking about “the good old days” (yes I am getting old enough to have good old days […]

Yesterday Aly had her first eye doctors appointment and I was dreading it. She is often a very silly girl who squirms and bounces and touches things and can just generally be a nuisance (she’s 3). She can also be a HUGE attitude, if she decide she is mad she can let go a storm […]
