OMG!  This is what my life has come to!

whoever decided peanut butter and chocolate go should be president or at the very least be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize

GALA NIGHT!!!

Due to aging, cramping aching feet would it be appropriate to wear knock off though very comfortable orange birkenstocks with my black gown? 

Rhetorical question. 

 know the answer is yes....

I have either developed a cold or allergies. I don't feel like I have a cold. 

Fingers crossed I have developed an allergy to a big someone....

Oh I kid.....

As ever hopeful that I am to adopt again I am honing my lost knitting skills.  That might be overstating things.  I can knit but was never very talented at it.  Almost all of these finished items have mistakes in them but for the most part are not noticeable.

I'm making an assortment of colours for both boy and girl.

Here's hoping I will be needing the hats and booties but if not we are having a baby boom in the family and perhaps they will get used by somebody.

I can't tell you how in a house with mostly nonverbal kids how wonderful it is to hear shout outs of "you're a good Mommy!" 

I could listen to that all day. 

You can too if you buy your kid the doll that says it.....

If you push the hand in multiple succession you can hear the emphatic way in which she declares you a good mommy too. 

Maybe pick yourself one up for this coming Mothers Day.....
