Be Careful of Crawling Babies.....

Okay, probably you don't have to be TOO careful but don't ever leave your glasses lying within toddler reach while you go to potty and brush your teeth... Or you will have to have your lenses replaced after she crawls across the gritty tile floor with her cute little hand wrapped around them.... Especially if you don't have a back up pair or wear contacts...

It could've been a jungle out there...

I found out last Friday while visiting with my mom something I never knew before. We were discussing how happy we were that my son has flat feet so couldn't join the service or be drafted. It's true, I am a very selfish mother. Anyway we were saying that since he is such a by the rule don't be weird (I know, who knew I could produce something so normal!) guy he would never leave anyone behind and would be killed doing something brave but unnecessary. This led to us talking about how like my father he is and my mom said that is why she told my dad, when he was ready to start jungle training for Vietnam she told him it was Vietnam or her!!!!!! I never knew that he was going to go to Vietnam! During the war! So scary! I knew he had been in the Air Force stationed overseas but always assumed he did his time before the war and got out just in time. Turns out he wanted to stay in! And was ready for jungle training! I could have been a have not. And she said it was REAL jungle training. Eating bugs and monkeys and guys dying from poisons and losing limbs to gangrene, and all kinds of horrible stuff. Brave daddy.

Does Apple have this yet? A way to organize, rate, and share your recipes?! In any event, I made this for dinner last night, Beef and Sweet Potato Pan Roast. Except that as usual I overcooked my beef, cut my sweet potatoes into cubes, and sliced my tomatoes in half. Because I am weird like that. It was actually really good except for said overcooked beef. However I wasn't able to let Faith try the sweet potatoes as I didn't finish cooking it until after she was in bed and daughter A refused to try it based on the sweet potatoes alone. I cook for myself. I would have taken a picture but mine looked nothing like this pretty pic here so I decided no...
