My Birthday present from Wade. I LOOOVE it!

Lydia is standing on a stool while Bella is sitting in her bouncer looking up at her smiling as Lydia sings ABBA to her. "Suppa supapa doopa, somewhere in the cloud theres you...." "I had a dream, I had a dream, you can see the river......of the fairy tales..." "Mama Mia here I go again, my my I will never let you go." words are her own variation but she has the tunes down.

What a great big sister and helper. Mostly today she has been complaining about her nose that keeps running. She says she is sick of her nose! I just hope Bella doesn't get the virus. There is no stopping the exposure but maybe the immune system will stop it, I hope.

I spent time this morning trying to continue organizing one of my kids rooms. The organizing is never ending in this very small space. I keep thinking there is just too much stuff and I need to get rid of it. The main project was puzzles. Where do I put them?

I sang to Damon and Lydia while preparing their lunch consisting of chicken noodle soup from a can. "Damon Damon Damon do you love me? Damon Damon Damon do you care? Damon Damon are you thinking of me? Damon Damon will you still be there?" I kept singing that for all of their names and spinning around the kitchen. You should have seen their shy faces. Who me? and then they laugh and giggle. I don't even know where that song is from but I think my mom used to sing it.

I found out a week ago that my washer has been leaking for months. I couldn't figure out where the mildo smell was coming from. My whole flooring is soaked from my bathroom to the kids room. I had moldy blankets under the bunk bed. It will probably take months to dry. Wade said there is a big puddle in the crawl space. Meanwhile my hot water hose is turned off to the washer until Wade gets around to fixing it. I'm not used to ever waiting for something to be fixed. Usually it is fixed immediately. I am so spoiled I guess. Meanwhile I have only cold water to wash clothes in. There was a couple of loads of laundry I have been waiting for hot water for. Will they get cleaned without hot water heating up the small particles loosening up the oils? Oh well. Plus I can't stand my soap. It has no smell!

My birthday was nice. I felt happy. The weather was perfect. Warm, sunny and no wind. Who can ask for anything more? Tomorrow I hope to be climbing Angels Landing with Bella and Wade. I think that will recharge me. I'm going to go as fast as I can since we won't have small children hiking along. Can't Wait!!!

Lydia is now sitting on the stool and she positioned Bella's bouncer next to her facing the TV as The Little Mermaid is coming on. That has to be one of Disney's best films ever because of the music! I loved that movie when I was little. Its neat how some things are timeless. I know I haven't been updating my blog lately. That is because........of life. Some things can't be blogged about. Too bad! I actually wish to blog about it. But can't. Soo look for my book to come out in about 15 years!
