There's a verse that says, "I know the plans I have for you..." That has been repeated in my head today. My family is going through some deep waters right now. Different situations, different stresses but difficult nonetheless. I feel like God is saying that we can make grand plans or even small plans but sometimes it's His plans that come to fruition, not ours. The two "I's" in the verse that really stand out to me.

Snow
I get way too emotionally involve in people's tweets and/or status updates, and by people I mean one person. It irritates me to no end an i really have to let it go but the comments are so double edged!
So crazy snow today. I'd like to measure how much fell. I think plunking my toddler in the deepest section would be a good marker. "Hey, one time it snowed as high as your eyebrows and we almost lost you but you stuck your hand up just in time," says me when she's older.
She's also quite ill today. So lethargic and limp. A long nap and some lunch perked her up though. I can't say that for myself. After 5 coffees and a diet coke before a lunch of hotdogs and poutine, resulted in a very poor après lunch indigestion to say the least. I caught up on an episode of Days of Our Lives which confused me to no end. It's the slowest moving soap but miss a few critical plot turns and you're left spending countless hours on spoiler sights. Or you would if you didn't have seven loads of laundry to fold and four tummies to fill.
This is my blog hat trick. Three in a row!!

Good food
Why is yogurt so expensive? Why is Greek yogurt so trendy and popular and $8.50 for 16 of the singles? Why does it taste so good. I resisted for a long as I could but I've been sucked into the under tow of Greek cultured milk in the stream of dairy goodness.
So Justin briber hosting and being musical guest for SNL. How do we feel about that? Right, just as I thought, we don't care because the only reason we would be up past 10:30pm is because someone under 3ft is crying, peeing, or cold..... or we've decided to rewatch Firefly.
I was warned by my mother that once I had kids my metabolism would change. I scoffed at her. I slimmed back down after kid number one. But 20 months after kid number 2, all if a sudden I don't fit my pants. Hips! Thighs! How do I change a very handy and delicious eating habit that has done me no harm for 34 years?? I eat carbs. I eat sugar. Right now I'm eating corn chips (this is after the cake pop I devoured). At least I've started on yogurt. That's healthy, right? Cursed genes.

Unfair
This is a conversation:
Me: when I taught math, my grade fours did the grade five curriculum
Nemesis: YOU'RE a teacher?? I thought you were JUST a mom!
What the heck is that suppose to mean? I'm offended as a teacher AND a mom. Irked.
My 3 yr old has entered the "this is SO unfair" stage. He wants to stay up like adults. He doesn't know how often my inner voice screams "this is so unfair". It's usually screamed when he tells me he needs company in the washroom or when my toddler drops to the floor in tears every time I try to wrangle her limp arms into her winter coat, or how about when my son refuses to eat his toast because there's a sunflower in it, or how my daughter chucks her gloves off, yanks her hat off and kicks her boots to the floor every time I buckle her into her car seat.
I will say what I do find fair. Two kids in bed by 8 so I can watch Murdoch Mysteries. Two kids that usually sleep in until 7:30am, 8 on a good day.
It's fair that I get good parking spots.
