Some of my favorite things

We've had a turn of events today since Little Girl had a tummy ache and wasn't feeling well this morning. I let her stay home from school since she has been saying this for a couple of days and just plain seemed exhausted and worn down. I think it was the right choice and she seems much better this evening.

I, however, feel frazzled, stressed, cranky and exhausted myself now. I didn't have a good mom mojo going today and I kept finding my patience was thin. I don't like it when I'm like that. I apologized to LG during rest time and I'm sure I could have done it a couple of other times too for being "cranky". The kids argued a lot today and every time I went to sit down to get things done that I truly had to get done today, I heard another request, and then another one, and then one more. I love being a mom. Most days I even enjoy the requests and the fulfilling of all my mommy duties, but today wasn't that day. I'm thankful for Grace and that tomorrow is another day. I still got kisses and hugs before I put my babes in bed tonight, so thankfully they showed me Grace too. :-)

Soooooo, in order to go back to a happier place, I"m going to tell you some of my favorite things right now:

Starbucks Italian Roast coffee


Trader Joe's Mini Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti's


These babies are only 1 W.W. pt. a piece. Heaven.

Valentines Day. I love it! I love making heart-shaped food for the kids and giving them special treats and just login' on 'em all day. Love!


The Book "The Circle Maker" by Mark Batterson.


We started reading this together as a Lifegroup with our church. Such an amazing read and totally changes your prayer life. I highly recommend it!!

My list is short because I have simply went blank due to trying to watch Parenthood while I type this. :-)

Hope your night is great!
