good news and bad news

The good news is I slept through the night last night! Woohoo, I sound like a mom of a newborn infant and not just a pregnant lady. :) The even better news is that my daughter woke up at 5:15 AM, came in bed with me, and went back to sleep until 7:30. I'm sure that in heaven we'll all SLEEP IN every day so you know how I feel about that excitement. :)

The bad news is just for Debbie ~ that chocolate doughnut was not all that great yesterday. :( And now I'm "over" my craving so no more searching. Hopefully you'll find some chocolate goodness in all your baking over the next few days!

More adventures

Last night I was at The White House (complete with Christmas decorations and an organic juice dispenser) as well as Seaworld (mostly with the dolphins). If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read my last post.

I was also awake from 2-5:30 AM, and my daughter woke up at 6:30 AM. What a waste of good, precious sleeping time!

Finally, I'm off in search of that amazing chocolate doughnut today. Debbie, if it pans out I'm happy to ship you one. lol.

Dreams

hello blog followers. I think there are two of you. Maybe three. Just had to comment on how WEIRD my dreams have been lately. I'm not sleeping well so maybe that's why I remember them all. Last night I was injected into a popular sitcom in my dream. Nothing too exciting happened but there I was with all the TV characters. Weird.

The night before I woke up and told my husband "I had the BEST chocolate doughnut EVER!" He wanted to know where his was. Whoops, I guess I just dreamed it.

The list goes on and on but those are the two recent "highlights."

Finally, back to you, my two followers. I think at least 50% of you know I'm pregnant, for the other 50%, SURPRISE, I'm pregnant. :) I think that's why my dreams have been so wacky lately.

Merry Christmas!

p.s. ~ I'm labeling this post "parenthood" because I think parenthood begins in pregnancy for us mommas... maybe not you dads, but moms for sure!

Stress Buster

Sweet potatoes help ease stress. No wonder they're served at major family holidays!

new yum for the list

Going to add to my list of yum-o favorites... No Pudge! Fudge Brownie Mix

You're supposed to mix it with vanilla yogurt... but I just mixed it with Raspberry. Wow! Yummmmmmmmmalicious. I am especially a fan of the individual serving prep. Hot brownies whenever you want, only when you want.

Watch that mouth, Momma!

Tonight on the way home from an evening out with pretty disobedient kids (just the icing on the cake of disobedient-kid-day), the following conversation took place.

Mom: I'm tired of you kids not obeying right away. It makes me sad.
4 y/o: Mommy, if you are tired of me not obeying you should go take a nap.
Mom: I would love to take a nap, but I don't think it will help you do a better job at obeying. Do you think it would help?
4 y/o: No...

whoops. Lord, please help me love my family no matter how I feel or how they act. Thank you for being a perfect example of unconditional love, and help me have even a teeny tiny portion of that unconditional love for my husband and my kids.
