Quality Time

Conversation with Abbie this morning:
Abbie: Mama, let's play a game.
Me: What do you want to play?
Abbie: I don't know.

Pause.

Me: How about Cinderella?
Abbie: How do you play that?
Me: I am the wicked step mother and you have to do everything I say and sing songs about birds and mice.
Abbie: OK!!! (giggling...)
Amelia: And Me!!!

Me: (to self). Suckas.

Hurray! You are back! I missed the happenings of the Danielson Fam. I am glad to see a new post!
Do you know of any stories of boys who clean for their mother?
If so, let me know.

I'm all over this one. I'm turning off my computer right now. This is way better than any hint from heloise.

Yeah, that was worth ending your blog hiatus. I love the ponies. Maybe I should start talking to my kids again so I can do cute things like that.

Now we need pics of your extreme makeover, blog abandoner.

My Cinderellas are on to me. I have to be Cinderella and they are the wicked stepmother.

I am sure that there are plenty of mothers in blogland that play "Sleeping Beauty" on a daily basis. Way to mix up the fairy tales.

I wonder what the boy version of that game could be? Because as you said, that was pretty smart thinking on your part.

ok, so what is wrong with my life? I went tried this and Louisa said, "ok" she picked up two things and said, "I don't want to play this stupid game. Let's play Beauty and the Beast. I'm the Beast" "yes you are" I answered.

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do.

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
