Addictions

Have you ever had an addiction to something that you used to purposefully keep you from doing what you should be doing? My current addiction is Word twist on Facebook. It is a great game and quite franklyit is much better than all of the cleaning and organizing that I should be doing.

In the past I have used reading, solitaire, tv, big projects, detail organizing, errands, and the list goes on and on, as things to do to keep me from what I should be doing. I look at what I have ahead of me and dread every second of it. I then find something that I find a better or more fun thing to do and I do that instead.

So, like I said, the current thing is word twist. I broke everybody's highest score and blew everybody out of the water with a whoppin' score of 106. I consider myself the Phelps of wordtwist. Yep, I got the oplympian sensation as I scored higher than anybody else by 10 points. Hee hee. :o) I really probably shouldn't be proud of this because it proves that I have been on the game way too much, but I am going to take my accomplishments where ever I can find them.

Nice Olympic sensation. After you broke my high score on Word Twist I kind of felt like the French team that lost to Phelps and the Boys. Thought I was all that...then you quietly came up and blew me away.

I've never tried Work Twist but I can relate to wanting to do anything but clean house. I'm telling everyone that dust is my new art medium.

Oh man! I thought I was doing good by having a high score of 100! Of course, I've also only played it about 10 times. ;) I am just like you! I was halfway through the dishes and now here I am....

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

day one.down for the count.

So in my typical fashion, I put a plan into action and then immediately have to deal with the changing of said plan. I went to bed dizzy last night hoping it was nothing and that it would pass as I slept. No such luck, this morning I got up and didn't stay up. So, three movies later I sit here on the couch with the best laid plans laid to rest. I was going to get up early, make breakfast, get dressed before 10, and send my honey off with a kiss and looks of devotion. Instead...Mark got up and I slept in, finally got up in time to stumble down the stairs, see the first set of kids off to school, and plant myself on the couch for the rest of the day. Mark gave me a kiss on his way out the door and instead of looks of devotion I had eyes welling with tears. Great day huh? Luckily I don't have any plans for today. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I don't have many responsibilities, but Friday I have an important photo shoot. This dizzy thing better go away!!!
