Ummm....

Anna-Claire - "I want a kitty for my birthday, momma."
(Begins bouncing up and down and chanting "I want a kitty")

Momma - after thinking long and hard over a way to get out of this conversation says "You can't have a kitty because Emmett would eat it."

Anna-Claire -stops and thinks "Could I have a monkey?"

Murray House Pancakes

I've been making these pancakes for so long, I practically do it in my sleep. They're fabulous and so worth the effort!

BOWL 1 (combine together)

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon

BOWL 2 (combine ingredients)

2 cups milk
6 tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla

Add both bowls together and pour onto a skillet. You can add blueberries or chocolate chips(birthday special), whatever you like. Makes 24 odd shapes.

Great Advice

Over the past few months, I've had a lot of advice given, passed down, or pushed onto me whether I asked for it or not.
Several things were so beneficial, I figured I share with you where I am.

(Make "me time" ... no,seriously!!!)

(Don't give in to stupid moments of weakness.)

(You'll always know the right thing when it comes along.)

(Don't forget where you are with God and that He deserves time too.)

(There's no excuse for bad behavior.)

(There's always someone there for you, praying for you, and loving you...whether your aware of it or not.)

Thank you! To all the friends and family that have been such a big help, a shoulder to cry on, a phone call to lose my mind on, and the prayers that I so desperately needed.
