Don't Wake The Kids

And Other Rules for Motherhood

Try Something from Pinterest

Are you as addicted to Pinterest as I am?

Do you also pin things and never try them out for yourself?

Yeah, me too. So I decided that once a week, I would pick something from my boards and try it out for myself.

Here’s what I picked as my first experiment:

It’s a fruit dip consisting of just two ingredients: Nutella and greek yogurt. I just happened to have both on hand and some strawberries.

The verdict? It was really tasty! I give it two thumbs up!

Let me know if you’ve tried something you found on Pinterest too.

Don’t Get Sick

…ever!

Yeah, like that’s going to happen.

MP900430501I’ve been sick for three days now. It’s a bad head cold, I’m sure. I ran a little fever, I’m all stopped up, my throat is scratchy, and I have no energy. If you think I have something worse, please don’t tell me.

Nothing instills anxiety in my husband more than when I’m sick. And this makes him grumpy.

I hate being sick. I turn into a weepy, whiny, pile of helplessness. My feelings get hurt easily, and I just want to sleep non-stop. On top of all that, I just want to be taken care of instead of having to take care of someone else. Is that too much to ask?

At least I have my friends. They encourage me to rest. And ask me if I need anything. And send me prayers.

They are wonderful!

Don’t get me wrong. James is too. To his credit, he did do dishes, grocery shopping, and laundry. He’s had to take Jumpshot to his basketball games – three this week! He did carpool duty the last two days too. I just wish he wasn’t so grumpy about it.

I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

I’ll try my hardest not to get sick again. I promise!
