If I could undo one event from this past week...

I'm pretty sure it would be my reaction to the kids present that they got me for Christmas. I don't know what I was expecting from  them but it sure as heck wasn't the Panini Grill or the Sandwich maker that I received. My husband tells me that my face was not the one of surprise or happiness as the kids had hoped (they looked for three hours to find me "just the right thing" and this is what their precious, loving, little head came up with. I've told them time and time again that I fail at making grilled cheese sandwiches and that's why we don't have them as often as they might like, so of course they take it to heart and go out and persuade Daddy to help them pick out something that will "help" Mommy. So I owe them an apology:

My dear babies--Mommy is so sorry that she didn't jump up in rapturous joy at your present. I love it, I really do. You guys picked the perfect color (Metallic red!!) and Mommy really likes how happy you guys are when  I make you a sandwich on it. I'll try harder next time to have the appropriate reaction on my face, I promise.


Love, Mommy

I fail at this mothering thing sometimes.

Random Picture Sunday...

Take a word and google image search it, then post the first picture that comes up.

Never....

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

--Ayn Rand

Is the reason I haven't posted in such a long time. I've been busy over there, but I promise to be here more often.
