Outside my window … a sliver of sunshine after 2 days of torrential rains! Thank goodness … yeesh… _uacct = “UA-4888259-1″;urchinTracker();
I am thankful for … constant support and guidance, a change of heart recently and that our basement didn’t flood – lol 
I am thinking … about how to convince my bugz to eat their toast! They will eat 3 pieces of toast and peanut butter EACH, but when you add up all the leftover crusts, it’s really only one piece. I’ve tried toasting it just a little (so that the crusts are soft but the bread is warm), spreading the “pea budda” all the way to the edges, yelling, bribing, threatening…
I am creating … nothing, really. My garden is thriving though, despite the immense weeds that this rain has brought out. I need to hit that puppy with a garden claw ASAP!
I am celebrating … the successful execution of my mom’s 50th birthday weekend 
From the kitchen … nothing last night, as I was trying to catch up on the mountain of dishes that somehow grew to epic proportions. We went out. Tonight though – fresh steamed chard with butter and apples, some kind of bison (have I told you that story yet???), and spicy potatoes.
I am wearing … my pyjamas while I drink my coffee and wait for my monsters to EAT!! Then I need to get my butt in gear, because we need to leave in 45 minutes!
I am reading … nothing. I just finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. It’s the first in the series that the television show True Blood is based on. It was … okay. Good trashy reading, not a lot of meat or insight, but it was only $8 and good for the hammock.
I am hoping … to one day be caught up on my housework, or at least hire a maid!
I am hearing … the hum of the refrigerator, and the quiet chewing of cranberries and TOAST – success??
Around the house and yard … much cleaning and weeding to be caught up on. I need to go through the bugz clothes once again and take out everything that they have outgrown. I swear, they are actually catching up to their peers!
One of my favourite things … running. I haven’t ran in, oh, 5 months?? I made one of those goofy promises to myself: if this happens, I’ll start running; if it doesn’t, I won’t. Well, it did happen (goal achieved!) and now I have to start running. It kind of feels like a punishment when I re-read that … lol, don’t worry – I actually want to start running again!
A few plans for the rest of the week … a carotid dopplar test tomorrow, dinner with a good friend on Friday, and Cher’s wedding on Saturday!!
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:
While I have aged a lot since this photo was taken, my mom has not!
Happy (belated!) birthday Mom!! xoxo
Hey Meaghan! I love the photo of you and your mom – too sweet. Also I have to suggest that to get your girls to eat toast try cutting it in shapes using cookie cutters. My kids will eat just about anything on toast if it is in a shape.
I also splurged and bought actual cutters that are specifically for kids' toast. Hope this idea helps a bit. Have a great summer! Kim Becker
