(oh and old habits die hard)<br />
<br />
But today is the start of the weekend the end of a LOOONNNGG work week and a horrid sinus infection and of course Five Question Friday...<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Five Question Friday"><img border="0" img="" src="http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt155/fivecrookedhalos/th_w6r0jk.png" /></a></center><br />
<br />
Where is your favorite vacation spot and why?<br />
<br />
Vacation...hmmmm let me try to remember what that is like. Since having children we have been on vacation once to Florida. Unfortunately the last few years with little babies has landed us using vacations day to be with sick littles.<br />
I love the beach and clear water. I hope above hope to be able to take our family on a beach vacation this year.<br />
<br />
What is your biggest guilty pleasure?<br />
<br />
Buttercream covered yumminess.. no wait cake.. cake that I made.<br />
<br />
I have a new recipe to share with you later lemon cake, with lemon curd filling and homemade Buttercream. <br />
<br />
OH MY WOW.. (Andria are you reading this??)<br />
<br />
What is your favorite fashion trend right now? Or, in the past?<br />
<br />
I have no earthy clue what is trendy. But I am really partial to my jeans with a little stretch and a comfort waist. Man, that makes me sound old.<br />
<br />
What are your spring break plans?<br />
<br />
We thought we might rent a car and drive to Atlanta to see family but we need to stay a little closer to home. So we may take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for a few days and the remainder of the week will be school and work.<br />
B-O-R-I-N-G<br />
What baby names do you hate? <br />
<br />
I'm wouldn't say I hate any name. There are some really odd ones out there, but most belong to celebrity babies and I don't really know them. Clearly we are partial to different names, but not naming our kids after objects like Teddy Bear or Baby Doll.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.<br />
<br />
Much Love,<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">It all started with my go-to white cake recipe-</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">1/3 cup shortening (You only need to wig out if you eat the whole cake)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">3 tsps of baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">2 pinches of salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">1 cup heavy whipping cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">2 tsps of vanilla</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Cream the shortening and sugar, add the eggs, then alternate the dry and milk. Finally gently mix in the vanilla. I use my Kitchen Aid to assist me. He is white and his name is Sam.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">****WARNING---THIS CAKE IS DENSE*****</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">You can make 2- 8 or 9 inch rounds or 1- 9x13. Bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean. Sorry I don't have an exact time. It depends on the weather and the temperment of my oven.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Next comes the pokin' part. Have you ever heard of Jell-O. I hate Jell-O, except when it's poured into a cake. You heard me right, into a cake.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Now poke some holes in your cake with a fork or a toothpick. It feels good doesn't it. Don't worry it's our little secret. Take your favorite flavor of Jell-O. I chose black cherry because after all this is a Valentine's cake. Disolve the Jell-O in one cup of boiling water and pour it over your cooled cake. Then stick your cake in the fridge or freezer. That Jell-O needs to set. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Oh my YUM...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Since the cake wasn't already sweet enough I topped it with whipped white chocolate ganache.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">MMMMM HHHMMMMM.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Enjoy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls;">Much Love,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">1.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Valentine's Day cards for your spouse: funny or romantic?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We don't do Valentine's Day. I am anti-valentite. I don't appreciate hallmark holidays and would prefer to recieve flowers just because rather than everybody else is doing it. I know it makes me weird.

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. What's your favorite way to pamper yourself?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A mani/pedi which hasn't happened since June. If you see me without socks please just turn and walkaway before the callouses begin talking to you. It's bad, real bad, scary bad...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Does your tax return go into savings or do you spend it instantly?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tax Return, you say?!?!? R-E-T-U-R-N I'm not to sure what that is..I owe I owe so it's off to work we go.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well friend I just slid into Friday and made my link up. This weekend project home makeover continues. I know I haven't told you don't worry we have many more things to talk about. Jon and Dade are headed out in the morning for some Father/Son bonding trip to Toys R' Us to find the fastest BayBlade ever..</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope you have a fabulous weekend that is relatively snow free.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

I know it's February..yeah yeah yeah.. I'm a procrastinator and I couldn't order it until I showed it to him on Christmas day because he is a smidgen picky. I may have also ordered myself something. We both got hand stamped rings and they are well made beautiful rings, but mine does not match what I ordered. I want what I ordered, but I also know that someone worked hard on what I received. I took a picture of the ring and a screen shot of what I paid for and sent it off to the company to see what there suggestion is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "crafty girls Neue", crafty girls, crafty girls, sans-serif;"><br />

Is anyone still out there? Am I still in anyone's blog roll?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: crafty girls, sans-serif;">I wish I could tell you I have been off traveling the world or doing something equally as fantastically fun, but that is not the case. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Here is a little note I wrote about a month ago...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is lonely</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is scattered</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is not sleeping</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is over eating</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is physical pain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is intense emotions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is putting a smile on when you aren't having any fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is feeling alone and pushing everyone away</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is faking it but never really making it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is tears and rage and dismal</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is yelling and screaming for no good reason</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is pushing your husband away but you don't want to be alone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is a slippery slope into a chasm of empty</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Depression is Me..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Four months ago while searching Dr. Google for the answer to my insomnia, I was regularly functioning on 3 to 4 hours of sleep day in and day out, I stumbled upon this </span><a href="https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/health/care/!ut/p/c5/dYxJboMwAEXP0gMgD43TdGlmjGSmpFRsEBg3seLgQKgbcfrSA_S_zVs8fdCAjbGz6twtyoydBp-g2bchqzLXRRRGURzCJPYjlKIIw8Me1KCSY3uqNmn-UvjPKAQMNGdt-u20vgjkeo_kJwj6C8RlwzQth0G-S7S8ii_mV2ZgVTpMPWpdio9tXhLOvXoVYy6lINMptYVK5in3oRZPv_AyjHVpdjgkDldRci_e0gw-vlXMjZbXtXzOi3TmHJFet_iDXPvVynCtd4XbBY5nAY_NTYL77XAklr78At553MY!/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">quiz</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> from our new health insurance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">I took the test for three days straight before I said a word to anyone. It took another 2 months before I saw the doctor. I am a fake it til you make it girl that was/is severly depressed. I had spent the last 3+ years thinking I could shake this off and nothing was shaking except my interest in life. I was embarassased by a label of weakness that I was placing on myself. Today I am on medicine and I am getting better slowly. I was at the bottom of a very deep hole and it will take some time to get out. I miss my life, I miss me, I miss being a part of the awseome things that God has given me. I'm sorry for my actions to myself but more importantly to others especially my family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Life is too hard to do alone and we shouldn't give up. If you feeling these things or if you take the test and the results are not favorable seek out a doctor to help you. More than anything life is worth living fully.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Crafty Girls, sans-serif;">Much Love....</span><br />

I have shaken off the blogging funk that I was in and I was BACK BABY…and then I went missing for another week. Last weekend we had a birthday party for the two most precious 2-year olds I know. Then I was knocked on my tookus with strep throat. It was all I could do the past two days to get to work and make it to bed-time.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now look it's Friday again.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Opposites sides of the bed under separate blankets, yes you read that right we don't even share covers.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">I usually start and finish in one day, sometime in December. I do a lot of shopping on-line because I really dislike shopping and I don't want to be tempted to buy more that what is budgeted.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. If money were not an issue (and you HAD to pick something), what would your ultimate luxury item be?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">A fancy pants camera would be really nice but if it's only one thing I wouldn't be able to take classes to learn how to use it. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pampering at the spa, like a lifetime supply of cut, color, massage, mani/pedis ohh lala…but then that is kind of selfish.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm gonna go with my dream house.

It's pretty painful, but you know what worse, coughing after you have had your abdomen sliced open. The absolute most painful thing I have experienced thus far is coughing after surgeries, the pain shoots up and down, as well as feeling like my guts will spill out. Whew, just thinking about it made me twinge and sweat.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I waited up in my room in the dark until I heard rustling in the hallway. I flung my bedroom door open to find my father standing there arms loaded with packages in his underwear. He turned to look at me and said, "Yes Heidi, there is no Santa Claus. Now go back to bed and do not tell your brother.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I love blogging and I miss it, but I'm just in a general funk with life right now. More on that some other day, today is the day of five random questions with <a href="http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/">Mama M.'s</a> Five Question Friday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Five Question Friday"><img border="0" img="" src="http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt155/fivecrookedhalos/th_w6r0jk.png" /></a></center><br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?</em><br />
Heid- because sometimes that extra "i" is just too much to say<br />
He-Dee- that is what my cousin has called me for years<br />
Sweetie- what my husband usually calls daily<br />
H Dubs, Mrs. Dubs or something including Dubs or Dub-Ya- Our last name begins with a W and is very difficult to pronounce so it gets shortened to Dubs<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>What is your birth order amongst your siblings?</em><br />
I am the oldest of 2, my brother is 5 years younger than me.<br />
<em>In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?</em><br />
Oh the options....<br />
Tall, dark and handsome for sure...<br />
Some options Tim McGraw (have I mentioned him before?), John Krasinski, Harry Connick, Jr.<br />
<br />
Ok, Harry is my final answer..<br />
<em>What is currently your favorite song?</em><br />
I can't pick just one. I love music, specifically country music.<br />
<br />
If I'm feeling a little salty or fired up it's definitely "Pray for You" by Jaron and The Long Road to Love<br />
<br />
Let's go ahead and add Jaron to the list in question 3.<br />
<br />
If I'm feeling contented and ready to jam out, "Southern Voice" by Tim (like he and I are on a first name basis)<br />
<br />
Feeling chill and ready for the weekend, "Toes" by Zac Brown Band. Not that I have seen the sand this summer but the song is great.<br />
<br />
<em>Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?</em>Yes for something fun and exciting.. <br />
<br />
you ready?<br />
<br />
Blinds for my house, don't be jealous..<br />
<br />
I told you was exciting, but I didn't mean for you to fall on the floor in amazement. <br />
Go ahead pick yourself on up.<br />
<br />
Happy Friday Ya'll... <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Outside my window.. it was 90 degrees today but there was no humidity a beautiful day to not have been at work, but unfortunately that is where I was.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The time is.. 9:35pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I feel.. exhausted. Jon was at work until 12:30 something last night and I couldn't sleep without him here.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am thinking.. the Starwberry Fruit Bar I just ate gave my tongue freezer burn.</div><div style="text-align: center;">At the moment, I am thankful.. that everyone is asleep, the kitchen is clean and I have a moment to relax before hitting the hay</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am going.. to be buying toddler beds this weekend. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am wearing.. a black tank top and black PJ pants. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I wish..I took better care of myself.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am reading.. nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am working on.. birthday thank yous!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am hoping.. the transition to toddler beds isn't too painful.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am hearing.. Iron Chef - Battle Citrus, I think</div><div style="text-align: center;">I bet you didn't know.. I really really do not like summer at all. The break from cold weather to warm is nice but I can not stand hot and humid.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favorite.. movies is Pure Country with George Strait</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My weekend plans include.. transitioning the girls to toddler beds, hopefully haircuts for the girls (if I can persuade their Dad), and we hope to make to our church's Baptism picnic.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So what's up with you this Thursday? You really should link up this week because <a href="http://www.murdocksmama.com/2010/08/just-thursday_19.html">Abby</a> is dangling a pretty cool prize if she can break her link up record.</div><br />

I'm not the sappy type but just typing four makes me a little teary. I can hardly believe the boy that he is becoming. The way he expresses himself, his quirky sense of humor and ferocious desire to be heard. He is my heart outside of my chest.<br />
<br />
In keeping with our family tradition I took Dade's picture the day before his birthday. <br />
<br />
The years in review---<br />

I made these d-eeee-lish chocolate cupcakes topped with homemade marshmallow Fluff frosting for Dade's birthday and thought I must share with all of you.<br />
<br />
<u>Chocolate Cupcakes:</u><br />
<br />
1/2 cup cocoa powder<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature<br />
1 cup granulated white sugar<br />
2 large eggs<br />
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter, or line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.<br />
2. In a small bowl heat the heavy cream in the microwave until steaming, about a minute add the cocoa powder to create a thick mixture. Let cool to room temperature. <br />
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. <br />
4. Then in the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract. Then add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.<br />
<br />
Fill each muffin cup two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 16-20 minutes or until risen, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. <br />
<br />
<u>Homemade Marshmallow Fluff:</u><br />
3 egg whites <br />
1 cup light corn syrup<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar <br />
1 tablespoon vanilla extract<br />
<br />
1. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, corn syrup and salt.<br />
2. Mix with mixer on high speed for 10 minutes (or until thick).<br />
3. Add in confectioner's sugar<br />
4. Beat on low speed until well blended.<br />
5. Add vanilla and mix until blended.<br />
<br />
This makes a lot of Fluff and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Just be make sure to mix it back together if you choose to re-use it the corn syrup has a tendency to separate.<br />
<br />
<u>Fluff Frosting:</u><br />
<br />
1 cup Homemade Marshmallow Fluff <br />
2 egg whites, at room temperature <br />
1 cup confectioner's sugar <br />
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar <br />
1/8 tsp. salt <br />
1/8 c. water <br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract <br />
<br />
<u></u>1. Combine all the ingredients in your mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. <br />
2. Beat in vanilla. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">**I was able to make the Fluff and the frosting while the cupcakes were baking. I recommend frosting the cupcakes and storing them uncovered in the refrigerator to allow the marshmallow to set and if you are feeling super spunky sprinkle some Heath chips on top.</span> <br />

<br />
Outside my window.. I see the street lights.<br />
<br />
The time is.. 10:02 pm (Wednesday night)<br />
<br />
Today I feel.. annoyed, with myself, my intentions and many other things<br />
<br />
I am thinking.. I should upload pictures but I'm too tired<br />
<br />
At the moment, I am thankful.. that Dade felt super special for his birthday.<br />
<br />
I am going.. to have a four day weekend and take the kiddos to a local water park and the county fair.<br />
<br />
I am wearing.. uh-ohh Red and White Christmas PJ pants and a super comfy Third Day T-shirt that is black with tan lettering. I am the epitome of fashion.<br />
<br />
I wish.. still wishing for independent wealth and not having to work.<br />
<br />
I am reading.. yeah, still don't read and I'm sure you don't count the most recent issues of Lucky and Parents Magazines<br />
<br />
I am working on.. packing up kids clothes that don't fit.<br />
<br />
I am hoping.. for great weather this weekend.<br />
<br />
I am hearing.. the dishwasher running, Psych! on the TV and the husband snoring on the couch.<br />
<br />
Around the house.. it's surface level clean, but please don't touch the chairs, the girls leave gunky fingerprints EVERYWHERE!!<br />
<br />
I bet you didn't know.. I absolutely can not sleep with my bedroom door open, not even for a nap.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite.. favorite wines is Moscato by Barefoot. I'm no sommelier but that stuff is the yumminess.<br />
<br />
My weekend plans include.. whoops answered this one up a little further. Yeah for a few days break from work.<br />
<br />
Have a great Thursday and be warned there will be birthday pictures...<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I am linking up with Shell and pouring my heart out to share some of how I have been feeling recently.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's almost two years since we walked out of the house, closed and locked the door. I was VERY pregnant with the girls and felt no emotion to the huge change that we were making in our lives. After all we were only renting the house out, there was a chance that we could move back one day. I couldn't bring myself to believe that we would never be back. Never park in the garage, cook in the kitchen, hang my clothes in my closet. <br />
<br />
In September of 2005, just three day before we got married Jon and I went to settlement on our first home together; a beautiful, newly constructed home that we had picked out and tailored just for us. We saw this as a huge blessing, never knowing given the state of the market if we would be able to afford a single family home and it was all ours. I moved in thinking this was our forever home. God willing we would fill it with babies, finish the basement, put in a pool and just be. <br />
<br />
Then life happened Jon had been laid off twice for several months each time, we were now expecting twins and we needed to cut costs. In September of 2008 we moved out, just three years after buying our forever home. <br />
<br />
I am so very grateful that we have a place to live, but so much is not here. We are five people in a much smaller home. There is no more gourmet kitchen, sunken family room, his and hers closets. That was the house where we started life together, filled it with new furniture, shared our first Christmas, celebrated birthdays, brought our first baby home to, it was meant to be forever. Now, it's not ours anymore. I know it's just a building just four walls in my head, but my heart is so very sad at the death of a dream, of a life only imagined in a much different place. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you ever experienced the mourning of a lost dream? <br />
<br />

Empanadas are savory fried turnovers. Sometimes you can find savory empanadas, but my husbands specialty are a Paraguayan tradition. Making empanadas with three children turned into a most of the day experience, but it was so worth it.<br />

I then peeled and chopped the eggs. After the eggs cooled we shredded a whole block of Monterrey Jack cheese and mixed it in with the eggs. For the meat filling he took a 2 pound should steak trimmed the excess fat and ground it up in the food processor. Also grind up 2 large onion and several cloves of garlic. Before browning the meat finely dice a tomato in Olive Oil in the pan until fragrant. Add the meat and brown. To the browned meat add rice, no mambie pambie minute stuff, real deal long grain takes 20 minutes to make, you will thank me for that tip.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<br />
It's Friday. I'm going to do a little tailgating and see my friends Lady A. and Tim tomorrow to celebrate my friend's 40th. I can't wait. <br />
It's 5QF people. I'm rocking it vloggy style and making a total fool of myself. If you haven't ever vlogged and you are jumping on the 5QF train today I <b>strongly</b> encourage you to bust out the webcam and JUST DO IT!<br />
<br />
Either way if you participate make sure you head over to <a href="http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/">Mama M's</a> and check the others that are linking up, she may be offering up best friendship today. She does that every once in a while. <br />

After lunch I had a list of things to do that was longer than nap time would ever be. I had just finished my grocery shopping and was putzing around on the computer before I moved to finishing the dishes when one of the girls started crying over the monitor. The hubs was snoring away on the couch enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap, which I wish I could have been doing, but I had that list and all.. I was a little miffed as I headed upstairs, the girls had just spent an hour after they were put to bed chatting and I knew that all of their blankets, pillows and lovies would be on the floor. I walked in a covered Coralee, then picked up crying Brennan and went into my room to snuggle her back to sleep. I ran my fingers through her hair and gently stroked her face, my feelings of frustration melted away and I was overwhelmed with the feeling that these times are numbered. I tried to burn the image of her in my mind. I stared at her sun kissed face, her kissy lips, button nose and to die for eyelashes. I listened to her take deep sleepy breaths as it sank in I'm going to blink and she is going to be in school/a teenager/in college/married/a mom herself. It reminded me of this song...<br />

So instead of worrying about washing the dishes, working on dinner in advance, paying the bills, or doing laundry; I snuggled up next to my sweet little angel faced girl and rested. I don't want to miss this.<br />
