Favorite Songs

Does anyone know all the words to Hagdalina Magdalina? I love that song, and was trying to teach my kids, but I can only remember half of it.

Dinner for two?

Welcome to the Valentine's Day Restaurant. For our special day we decided to carry on a tradition that my parents started. We invited the kids to the restaurant. They waited on the couch until there was an open seat. We gave them menus and coloring pages. The waiter brought out water and took theirs orders. Little R played along but M not so much. When they were served, the chef came out and asked if a gentleman could come and join them. The waiter turned into their dad and joined them for dinner. That is when M finally understood what was happening. It was great. Both kids want menus at every meal now. I finally joined them, and sat down and apologized for being so late for dinner. My son replies, "It's okay mom. How was your food party?" Ha! What a kick. Anyhow we had a ball, and will definitely do it next year.

3 a.m.

What a night! I could not fall to sleep. I did what I normally do before bed..... watch a little TV, read, prayers..... But then I was just laying there. I wasn't even thinking about anything. Usually on my sleepless nights I am thinking about something I am stressed over, but there is nothing. So I get up, get a drink, and try again. No luck. I was there for an hour, then I got up again just to do something. At threee o'clock this morning, I checked me email, then went back to bed. Sometime betweeen 3 and 4 I fell asleep, after a prayer for help. Uuuuugggg. I am tired. Does anyone ever have nights like this? Usually if I can't sleep I will go upstairs and watch tv, and it knocks me out immedialtely. But we have company, so I didn't want to wake them.

This is dedicated....

This is dedicated to the one I love. This post is for the man who can make me laugh harder than ever before, and cry to the point of dehydration. For the man I fell in love with and the man who he is now. This is for the cheesy smile in church when we were a new couple. For the man who went through school and couldn't bare the thought of being without his family, so we moved, and moved, and moved..... For the man who moved his family 13 times. This is for the only man I would shoot a bow and arrow for. This is for the look he gives me when things are a little crazy. This is for the nights he has rescued me from low blood sugars and for letting me recue him after the trama is over. This is for the joy I see in his eyes when he is with our children. This is for the man who loves being a dad. This is for the lessons he teaches our children that I never would. This is for treating me as though I am the only woman in the world. This is for always adoring every part of me. Looking at me as though he has never seen me before, and kissing me as though he were leaving on a long trip. For the love of my life who supports me through everything, and believes I can do anything. This is dedicaded to my husband, my friend, the father of our children, and my eternal love. I love you. Happy Valentine's Day!

Lettuce

We had dinner at our frineds house last night. We volunteered to bring salad and rolls. Much to my surprise we were out of lettuce. No need to worry, I made the salad anyway without the lettuce. So basically it was a salad of grape tomatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. It was so pretty and delicious. The toppings are the best part of a salad anyway. The kids even ate it better than they do when lettuce is in it. Just an idea. Try it.
