Sounds in my house...giggling, little feet running up and down the hall, noisy toys, imaginary conversations between dolls and stuffed animals and coffee brewing...aaahhh bliss!

Special Mommy Daughter Moment

Oh there we were my 4 year old little darling and I - me blow drying her new little bobbed haircut..so darling! I'm wearing my cute little Old Navy short sleeved t-shirt, so proud am I that I can finally SHOP in that store after losing 140 pounds, I get to buy modern cute things now! I am busily drying and brushing the little darling's hair, and I see a funny little smirky smile appearing on her precious little face....she then reaches out to me, aww she's going to HUG me! Ohhhh nooooo she's not, she is grabbing my arm FLAB and laughing! "oh Mommy, your arm is so shaky! hahaha"...

Yes I have come to terms with the shaky arm flab, I am a women in my mid-40's which is apparently the new "30's" haha...I've lost 140 pounds, there is NO hope for that skin to perk itself back to its once beautiful tautness but I guess standing there in my cute little shirt it was time for me to be knocked back a peg ~ Thank you darling daughter!

Rainy Saturday

I am sitting here enjoying the rainy Saturday...one little tot is asleep and other is on a date with her Daddy at the museum...I could be napping! Instead I am moving into untested waters...blogging? Me? Advised to go ahead and do it by friends..not sure that people really are all that interested in what I have to say! haha...I generally will not talk about politics as I find it all so boring, religion I will bring up as needed but will not preach to you unless you need to be saved.... just kidding. I will probably talk mostly about kids and cooking - my two favorite subjects!

I'm just a plain old stay at home Mommy and wife, realizing that everyday that passes is one less day I have with my girls as some day they will (gulp) leave our home to either go to college (please can't you just go to our local college?) or get married....UGH! As much as I want them to do that - I am nowhere near ready to think of these ideas for them....now you must realize they are only 2 and 4 years old but you know yourself how fast time flies.....sigh.


Last night's dinner was crock pot beef stew which hubby and I loved - kids picked at the parts they liked - when do kids start liking meat? hellllooo? Protein! Tonight is looking like Polenta with some shredded chicken with marinara sauce? I'm gonna just fly by the seat of my pants tonight with that....sometimes you have to do that and sometimes you have to just order pizza!
