Conversation with Sadie- Yesterday

Image
By
As Sadie gets into the car-
"Mom, I am soo starving. I hardly got to eat any lunch today and I need a snack when we get home."
"Sadie, didn't you eat your sandwich?" Can you tell this has been an issue before?
"Mom, I couldn't. Tamara loves jelly sandwiches and she traded me for a candy and it wasn't very big."
"Sadie, you know you aren't supposed to trade lunches. You need to eat what I pack you so that I know you are growing strong and getting enough energy for doing your school work."
"I'm sorry mom. I know. But mom, you need to pack something dessertish in my lunch so I'm not tempted to trade my lunch, because today Rose had the most big, delicious chocolate cookie in her lunch and I wanted it so bad."
A little more lecturing on my part and then-
"Okay Sadie, you don't trade your lunch and I will try to put something "dessertish" in your lunch.

7:00- "Mom, remember that tomorrow you are going to put something dessertish in my lunch."
9:00, yelled from her bedroom- "Mom, sleep tight one a light (something we say) and remember to put something dessertish in my lunch tomorrow."

Today- trip to Costco. Diapers, tortillas, milk, cheese, peaches, cereal, and something dessertish for Sadie's (and her sisters) lunch.

I've been having nearly the same conversation with Sierra! I've given in and started sending her with a cookie in each lunch. I'm sure she takes my homemade wheat bread sandwiches and chucks them over the fence just like Cory said he used to do.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

By
These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

By
I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
