And I think one of those ways is to let the sibs help with all the care...and I know you do this! I had people ask me the same question...which I welcomed like you. It's one of those things that you just can't wrap your mind around unless you've been there..ok, I feel like I'm starting to ramble! lol!! Just know that I think you are a wonderful mom and that your children are truly blessed to have you as their mom!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215039880308879397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-43590393569882824852007-06-27T18:34:00.000-06:002007-06-27T18:34:00.000-06:00Coffee smells so delicious to me...I don't really ...Coffee smells so delicious to me...I don't really know why.<BR/><BR/>I have a french tip manicure set and I love love love it!

Maybe when we have that lunch of ours, I will have to try some coffee.

Please, please, please send me some rain! We've had 3 rainshowers in the last nearly 5 weeks, I've been keeping count. Not enough for my grass, shrubs and flowers.<BR/><BR/>On the coffee, I didn't learn to drink it till I was older than you are now :) I made a conscious effort to learn to drink it. I also made coffee every day for my hubby, he has grown up drinking it. We also have some really cute, fun coffee houses here (there's one not a mile from my house in an old Victorian home, it's sooo cozy) and have friends who like to "go out for coffee". I can only drink it if it has a lot of Splenda and flavored creamer. I don't think you get near the flavor from dry, powdered creamers. Try one of the refrigerated creamers next time, Annie, and I bet you like the flavor more. I buy that Folgers Caramel Drizzle also. Tried their Vanilla Biscotti and it was ok, but like the caramel more. My husband only drinks it plain and black, so I don't get a chance to make the flavored one very often.<BR/><BR/>Yum, fresh corn on the cob! Those burgers sound deee-licious :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-84475688813573118592007-06-27T12:26:00.000-06:002007-06-27T12:26:00.000-06:00We have ONE day/week to mow the lawn (unless we wa...We have ONE day/week to mow the lawn (unless we want to mow in the dark), so if it's raining on that one day, we're just out of luck.

Now, you need to invest in some Altoids--dark chocolate covered, of course--2 mints are 0 WW pts!! And they work on that coffee breath. You could try to add some peppermint flavoring to your coffee to see if you like that. Or, you could see if the coffee tastes good to you with your Sonic ice in it.
