Last night we went to the parade downtown. It was so cold and after two hours, we were painfully frozen. We stood directly in front of a church and didn't realize until later that they were giving out free hot chocolate and coffee. I felt so silly when I finally figured it out, my babies could have had warm bellies much sooner. The parade is really quite lame, but it has become a tradition to meet at my dad's, walk down, walk back and warm up with his homemade chili. The children looked forward to this each year so we bundle up and brave it for them.We got home and put everyone to bed and around 10, I was hit hard with a stomach "something." Oh my. I haven't been that violently ill for so long. It was not a pretty sight, but thank God that my husband has a strong stomach and he stayed by my side during the worst of it. I woke up this morning feeling empty but not sick. So strange.
I hosted a Pampered Chef/Two Sisters Gourmet show for two friends. I like to support other ladies who have home based business. And, since I am a Creative Memories consultant, I know the nature of these parties and the letdown that comes when 12 RSVP and 4 show up. So disappointing. Thank goodness, I had some outside orders, but I feel for the ladies who took a huge chunk of their day to be with me and didn't profit much. I pray that blessings will return to them in some way.
The four guys went to see "Bolt" during the food show. I think they enjoyed it, but it wasn't something they raved about. Is Disney losing its edge? After enduring "Wall E" I am wondering. My kids like that movie, but I was bored to tears...or bored to nap.
The rest of the day was lazy. Movies. More eating. A little Wii to get out some of the boys' stored up energy. We watched "Meet Dave" this evening and it was pretty funny and clean, considering that Eddie Murphy was the main actor. I cherish these times when we are all snuggled together, sharing the couch and the dog bed (again, we don't have a dog, but the bed is so cozy and gives two boys a place to lay down). These are the moments that will too quickly fade away...I will hold on as long as I can.
