My Legs Feel Better On Top Of The Covers

My three year old daughter is in the testing (for lack of a better word) stage.  Or is it just the "let's see how many hoops mom will jump through stage"?  For instance, today when I put her down for a nap she wanted me to tuck her in.  When I walked to the bed and went to tuck her in she said, "But my legs feel better on top of the covers."  So, I said good night and before I could make it to the door (and yes, I was kinda sprinting toward it) she said, "I want you to tuck me in." :: grrr :: I lose patience very quickly with these little games!  As I was trying to keep calm, the thought occurred to me that I'm like that at times.

For today May 11, 2010 Outside my window....  a drippy rainy day that is bringing the worms to the surface.

For today May 4, 2010 Outside my window.... a beautiful day with blue skies, apple blosssoms and dandelions. I am thinking..... of how modern technology allows us to see an unborn child. I am thankful for..... my husband's steadfast support.  I have been having a tough time with friendships or lack thereof lately and he is always willing to listen to my frustrations and offer logical advice.  He also reminds me that he's my best friend and innocently asks, "What more do you need?"  :) I am wearing..... purple plaid pj pants with a purple tank top. I am hearing..... my oldest reprimand my youngest for getting out of her chair while eating. I am going..... to visit my neighbors new little girl today. I am reading..... The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare. I am hoping.....  to edit my list of volunteer opportunities and pick a place to serve this summer. I am creating..... a mess.  Getting ready for the neighborhood rumm...
