We got up today around 6.45. Some of us (me, Sam and Zach) wake up running with a smile on. Others (Es, Joe and *sigh* BEN!) need time and encouragement to start their day. I truly don't care one whit whether anyone is a am or pm person. Doesn't God create each for His great pleasure?!? I've learned that Ben and I balance our family better by being opposites in this way. I get everyone going in the a.m. and he puts everyone away in the p.m. :) He has, in the past, been known to be a slight bear in the morning, yet I tend to resemble the same animal in the later part of the evening. Welcome to my world!
ANYWAY...we fix our rooms, do chores and eat (in that order:).
Next come the errands. We're all in the Burban and I'm pulling out of the garage when Sam says "Mom you look good today." Truly, I did take extra time in getting ready to go today. Dangly earrings, make-up, .....shower (sadly a morning shower is an optional part of my day at times!).
Yup, this is the little Husband in training! **Side note here: Samuel is getting so big. How can it be that the Child can learn and know about more things than the Mother? In reality ALL the children are getting large. Take time and squeeze those you love today! People move away and children grow, never know when we'll hug that person again.**
And to top it off, I treated myself to a grade, non-fat, sugar-free, caramel, latte' at STARBUCKS!
Tell me true, does life get any better than this? I say, "NO!"

Yes, you did look good this morning! Thanks for taking some time to visit! When your language is quality time, little visits fill up the tank! Love you, Mom : )
What a sweet little man! That has GOT to bless your socks off. :)
Hey, I thought you didn't like girly coffee!
I know, I know! I've said that I really don't enjoy 'girly' coffee. Explaination needed:Ben and I had a day off the other day, we got Satrbucks. My order was the same as yesterday....the problem? One is okay every once in a while, but two in one week is not good for me! The one I had yesterday was too sweet. So, I guess you could say that I occationaly drink girly coffees. My coffee love would be Starb's medium roast. Mmmmmmm.
I can't remember the last time I had a Starbucks coffee. Starbucks is my favorite.
Brigit, Starbuck is expensive. I have to save up to get Starbucks (serious)! You could start a Starb's change mug or something??? We have a change mug but it's for Hawaii.
