It's not a glamorous life, folks. But I wouldn't trade it for anything!
I think that sounds like a wonderful day filled with all of the blessing in life (and some of the distractions that accompany those blessings). Hope you continue to stay productive and hope you do NOT continue in your mothers footsteps - WATCH THE BREAD OR SET A TIMER!!!!! Love ya sis!
ReplyDeleteWell, in my defense, the knob on the toaster is broken and so the thing is completely unpredictable. I am not generally a bread burner! Waiting for replacement knobs now.
