Halloween 2007
I was just sitting in the family room trying to read The Host, since I felt I could take an hour for myself before I started dinner. Here's how it goes:
I watched Jared's face from the corner of my eye. What this man was doing clearly upset
Mommy will you make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
him, and I thought I knew why - Will you make it now!?! I am hungry. Yes, honey, I'll get you one in just a minute.
how he must have hated that slender pink line on my neck.
Momentary pause while I make a pb&j...
Jared frowned, but I was surprised that some of the anger had drained from his expression. His eyebrows pulled
Mommy, will you make me one too? Pause while I make another. And get drinks to be sure that I'm not disturbed again.
His eyebrows pulled together. It made him look confused.
The tall man dropped his hands and stepped away from me. Get your clothes back on! Grandma is coming for dinner! His lips were pursed, his eyes alighted with some challenge.
"She looks healthy enough."

This is cute. I share the Mama pain with you! :) Did you stay up late last night reading? :) I LOVE those pincushions you posted! I am glad to see comments back on for now. :)

Hope you have finished the book by now.
that brings back memories... and is why I quit reading in the first place.
I have a new project... telephone tagged you the other day and Lindsay drug me out shopping today but we really need to hook up so I can tell you about the new book I got and the project to go with it.
Hilarious and OH so true!
LOL!!! So my life!!
You just discribed what it is like for me to read or watch a movie! That is why I never watch the whole movie in one day, I watch it over a week. As for reading, which I love to do. At night a few sentances at a time.
One day I have a feeling I will miss being interrupted by little ones. It is still nice to find those quiet moments. Sometimes that means my kids fix themselves cold cereal and toast frozen waffles for dinner.
I sooooooo understand you
