And they turned out like crap! haha, for some stupid reason, I decided to try a new recipe for these “soft sugar cookies”. I’ve really gotten into making everything from scratch lately, and i saw a recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks, so thought why not. WRONG! They don’t taste like a sugar cookie what so ever and to top it off…they are flat like paper. ugh. I’m bummed. I was so in the mood for sugar cookies cut out like snowflakes. I’m thinking of send Mr. Craig to the store in the morning for the ingredients for my one of a kind TRUE SUGAR COOKIES. Note to self: If you are craving something, don’t deviate from the way you usually make it thinking that you’ll make a new and improved version. Just stick with the classics.
Life around here has been at a all time high of anxiety and hectic running around. Elena has now decided that she is indeed a nudist. And AJ has found out how loud and high his voice can get when he screams. Add that all together with icky cookies and it makes for a day where even a perfect dry martini couldn’t wash a smile back on your face. haha. But things are good. My job is going well, wishing i was home with the little ones and that Mr. Craig could find something; i’ve love to switch lives with him at the moment. hm, I wonder what it’s like peeing standing up? hm…there a thought that gets stuck in your mind! haha! Sorry, just always wondered that. But that’s besides the point. I’m sitting here in my chair watching boring tv so that there is some noise in the house because everyone is asleep and it feels way to weird not have some noise going on. I decided to stay up later so that when the kids crashed, i could take a long shower with no interuptions and then do things like pedicures to make my feet like and feel great, and i FINALLY got the time. without a kid dangling off of me, to tweeze my brows..it’s so nice to see that i have two. But the best part about staying up this late? my hair is done, my toes look pretty, the house is …well partially clean and i’m relaxing…aw peace and quiet. i think it’s good every once in a while for a parent to forgo a few hours of sleep so that they can enjoy the company of their spouse since neither of you have had a great conversations with one another all day besides like, have the kids have eaten yet, is the laundry done..etc. It’s good for the brain i think. It’s like a mini mental break. And you need that when you have two young kids. Elle and Aj aren’t too big of handfuls so life just slides on. They usually go to sleep at the same time; at night and during the day. But there are those days where it’s much much harder and they refuse to sleep at all. Those are the days I find something that i need to do…like just a random run to the store.
wow I seriously am having the hardest time keeping my eyes open.
heading out
(this isn’t the exact one, but when i can i’ll take a picture of all of them together)
