Lately I've been held captive by life.... and I'm so grateful for it! Although I love this blog world and sharing all of our everyday with you... the ones that I tend to share about- are a needy bunch :) Prissy auditioned for the Spring recital @ CPAC and will be playing the role of a leading mouse- we are over the moon about it! Although.. this in turn means countless hours of recital rehearsals on numerous nights of the week. But, it really is my pleasure to do it! This is such a tiny season of her life and I wouldn't trade it in for anything else. What a difference another year of ballet can make!

Today as I was breathing in a sigh of ... quiet, when the house was still & the before mentioned-s were away.. I did laundry and checked the news. And now I know why I don't miss TV in the least {except for Sunday nights when Downton is on... and I have to wait until Monday}. The news is horrible- I cry nearly every time I read it- so I closed the computer and prayed.. I prayed for my sweet husband at work, for my darling babes at school, & thanked God that they weren't on the bus that had been taken hostage yesterday.... What a difference prayer makes!

Then I cleaned- that's what I do when I'm worried or heartbroken {ask anyone who knows me well}. There is therapy in washing toilets and folding laundry + its FREE! And as I was putting away the laundry.... I saw the girls {aka my boots} looking a bit disheveled....
*don't judge my shoe collection TOO quickly-
some of these girls have been with me since high school*

Then I remembered the 30 some Valentine briefcases that I'm making for the kiddos' class parities! What a difference having 2 kiddos with 2 parties is!

& remembered the empty rolls of wrapping paper....

TA-DA instant boot formers! Now... that's better.
Clipping and cutting and organizing is good for the soul. What a difference cardboard makes!

Tonight I made brownies... and added a Valentine Day flare to them. Prissy of course saw if first. The boys not so much... What a difference M&M's make!

I'm settling in to finish up my homework for tomorrow's study... and my hubby is settling into this??? I had to look twice at the title before I was sure how to pronounce the thing :) What in the heavens did he ever see in me???? I guess a boy who goes for this stuff... needs a girl who cries over "Good Luck Charlie"- ha ha! What a great marriage- coming from 2 totally different people!!!

That's it for now.... go run and kiss your babes!
