I’m eating chocolate. Not just any chocolate, a Caramel Chunk Kit Kat. I couldn’t resist. It needed to be eaten. As of yesterday I’ve been on my candida cleanse for 8 weeks. I’ve only given in to temptation in the last 2 weeks because I was told it was okay once in a while now that I was so good for such a long time. But it’s amazing the guilt that accompanies each bite. I think the guilt is just a bi-product of telling myself “No” for so long that I’m not sure what to do with the permission. No worries though, my husband has just absconded with the chocolate and I’m not likely to ever see it again. He thinks it’s for my own good. He should know better than to take chocolate away from a sugar-crazed-hormonal-mommy! Oh, well, I was starting to get a sugar headache anyway.
Aidan is a real stinker. And I mean that in the nicest possible “love my child very much” kind of way. She cannot keep her hands to herself. It doesn’t matter how many times you say “NO”, she is disobedient!! I’m waiting to mark the date when she obeys me the first time I ask and believe me I will blog about it. Lately it’s the computer. When one of us is sitting by it, she MUST be on our laps with her sticky little fingers all over everything. Finally Jer got smart. He put Ella’s princess laptop on the table beside him…problem solved. Doesn’t she look pleased with herself!!
Even though it’s still snow covered in our neck of the woods and even quite chilly, the sunsets are hinting at the arrival of spring. I love sitting on my porch and contemplating the beautifully unique creation each sunset is. It’s amazing how quickly they appear and disappear, how most of us never stop to really enjoy the painting in the sky. How you can turn around for your camera and a minute later it has changed. I, for one, am the type to pull my car over to watch until the colors have faded (not to mention it’s safer for the other people on the road, since I can’t seem to keep my eyes off the sky when it’s brilliant!). They leave me breathless and inspired, awed and deeply moved. I can’t help but feel close to God for just a few minutes every time I see one. So next time you see one, stop and enjoy the lovely artwork in the sky.
