I Do Have Other Children, I Promise.

I was looking at my blog today and noticed that all my posts have been about Rachael lately. Ok, so do you think I have a little issue of her leaving the nest on the brain?

My other kids have been wonderful too. Jill is showing her independence with vigor lately. I have been up much too late working on homework, getting the house in order, and supervising lovebirds. So, since Jill was still asleep after the kids left this morning, I decided to go back to sleep for awhile too. I woke up about an hour later and Jill, who had been awake for a little bit, informed me that she was hungry so she got her own breakfast. She ate some cereal in a bowl that she got down by herself but she didn't have any milk. She said it as such a matter of fact, that she reminded me of the little girl from the revised Miracle on 34th Street. You know the girl, the one who talks like she is 24 instead of 4? Well that is my Jill to a T.

School is coming to a close and I am darn excited. I love it when my children are home and we don't have daily responsibilities looming over our heads. We play a lot of games, talk a lot, and of course sleep! The only draw back to all this fun is poor Mark who has to work every morning. I do feel for him and wish he was partying with us.

With school ending comes of course Rachael's graduation tomorrow. We have family flying in as I write this and we couldn't be more excited. Then with the party on Friday we are going to be starting off this new adventure of Rachael's with a bang! I really am excited for her she has so much fun ahead!

Ha ha ha, I so know where you're coming from. I remember when my life was mostly about McKenna. Lately it's all about Noel. They'll each get their turn. Only, just like the baby books, we probably won't be blogging by the time our babies are graduating. However, they'll be the most spoiled. They always are!

Don't let this deter you from blogging about Rachael's graduation and party, etc! I'm dying to see and hear about it.

Besides, I'm sure with the summer here someone's gonna bust a lip and need stitches or something - then you can blog all about them!

You see, it all comes out in the wash!

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

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.

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.
