Catch Up & Mother's Day

Happy Sunday!

Today is my catch up day from running around the past two days.

Not sure where to begin on my to do list...my 2 year old granddaughter spent the night Friday so Saturday after taking her shopping for a new swimsuit, beach towel and heels (plastic dress up heels) for the surprise party, we came home to building a castle(unsuccessfully) for her Barbie's.

What I want to do today before the clean up of make believe from Makenna is work on my mother's day projects. I'll post the pictures after the day just in case my girls are reading my blog. (which I doubt)

I can show you the dessert and breakfast that we're doing for Mother's Day...can't wait!

As for our meal we'll eat midday and grill hot dogs, chicken and turkey burgers - make 3 different salads and have some cocktails - of course, wine! I found this margarita recipe that I'm intrigued by, so might just give it try.

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping. http://www.omg-facts.com/ I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room. She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior. http://drphil.com/articles/article/114 Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time having a littl

My Ministry

Yesterday was baby shower day for my daughter! It was a great time with friends and family. I'm so thankful for my Tucson family that always manages to join our family gatherings. Thank you! I sustain myself with the love of family. -Maya Angelou It will be the tenth grandchild for my husband and I -which is leading me to believe the pastor that pulled me out of a crowd 26 years ago to tell me that I was going to have a ministry of children was correct. Looking back at my life I now tend to think that perhaps his prophecy was right on track since I seem to always have a ministry of children closely connected to me on my journey. I would have never guessed this would be my life, but I'm thankful for all the young souls that I've touched. For me that's what life is all about - touching lives and leaving an imprint on their hearts. Peace, Love & Hugs!
