Epiphany?!

Garrett has been sick for a few days now. He's miserable and has spent most of today, thankfully, sleeping which I'm sure will give him a huge boost in the directions of getting better! Chelsea is feeling what I assume to be cabin fever. She's restless and whiny and almost intolerable. I found a few good kiddy websites geared toward getting your child/children ready for preschool. I tried to get Chelsea to do some of the worksheets with me but she shunned me and ran away crying!

Yesterday we went to Chuck-E-Cheese. We occasionally do things with our mom's club, Chi Rho Kids. This event was suppose to be last week but was postponed because of the snow. Then with the kids being sick I almost decided to stay home but I'm so glad I didn't. When I was a kid the Chuck-E-Cheese near our house was so huge and even when I was in 6th Grade and helped a neighbor of mine take her babysitting kids I was easily overwhelmed. That was my main fear when planning this trip to Chuck-E-Cheese. There were few people there. The food came quickly and the kids ran free without having to worry about someone snatching them or them getting lost in the crowd. Over all a very pleasing day. I will be putting pictures in that I got while there soon so come back for the updated version.






I read a few other blogs and in my most favorite written by the comical Ashlee Wheatherington I saw her pictures she had just put in her room based off the Twilight movie. It was the forest from the newest Twilight and it made me think.....
I use to be so negative and closed minded about the rest of the world. I would quickly retort things like, "I hate the rain...", "I would never live _______ because of the forests and lay of the land.", etc. I remember John's mom telling me once, as I commented on Chelsea being so loud all the time, how I have really mellowed out in my upping of years! I didn't notice!!! Now I find myself longing for the quiet, serene landscapes of places like the Northwest. I find that I don't mind the rain quiet as much although I still mind the smell the earth leaves after a rain. I found this picture that I want to put up as a wall mural once we get our own place. It would make a nice focal point of the room.

Other than that, I really haven't anything new to talk about. I am going to go make dinner. New Orlean's Rubbed Chicken with apricot-mustard sauce and a side of creamy spinach and veggies. It should be good. I'm excited to try it because I've never made it before and it's new from my Biggest Loser Cookbook. More soon!
