The Stones

"The stones that had caused me to stumble in life were the very ones that were also building my character and my destiny." ~Tracie Miles, Reinventing Your Rainbow

I'd like to take a moment to honor my mom...again....she is the best ever...Because:
Today she brought me some groceries I needed so that I could stay home and gets lots done for our big weekend coming up AND I didn't have to load up both kids to go to the store.
AND....she brought me the world's bestest Chocolate Bavarian Bismark ever to go with my afternoon coffee and quiet time. She is extra special ;)

Our small town is blessed with the greatest grocery store in the state...Dave's Supermarket.
Why ours is the best of the best:
1- The cleanest you ever saw
2- The friendliest
3- The best prices
4-The awesomest sales
5- The best variety in produce
6-THe yummiest bakery
7-The greatest deli
8-The coolest dine-in eatery
9-The lowest ice cream prices to get in a bowl or dish---50 cents!!!!
10- Run by a Christian family
11- We had blueberries from Michigan this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first day home this week and it was crazy still. I made food for this weekend...and lotsa food for a Relay for Life bake sale for Blake's family. I also changed 35 diapers as Gabe has the hershey squirts...Yipee!!! Wow is it ever lovely. I did piles of laundry....made a casserole....fed the kids all their necessary meals...washed lotsa dishes....cleaned up the kitchen mulitple times since baking and cooking makes extra. Played games with the kids...cuddled....wiped runny noses from crying episodes....took out the trash....picked up toys....videotaped Ellie....put them down for naps....sat outside with Gabe and watched the traffic go by....broke up fights between the two....Yes, Gabe is very good at making her cry and taking her toys away. Cleaned up Gabe's cracker messes.....Read him books...had a quiet time.....visited with my brother while he fixed our bathroom light....my day is finally done...Praise the Lord! Can I say this....I do so love my job....but man am I ever tired!
