We just had to have HOT CHOCOLATE after watching the hot chocolate scene in Polar
Express!
Such a fun movie.
Race is not so sure.

This week the chaos has died down considerably.
Its seems we have fallen into some kind of routine ( I'm positive it's not a normal one, because that would deffinintly not be Reed style)
After two days of trying I got a Mocha Bunt Cake made, which was soo good , my friend Alisa put in on her blog. She is a true baker so when she says something is good, it REALLY is! Mariah and I got Chocolate Pretzels made to hand out , while our kids ran around and ate chocolate chips for dinner. I've been able to excercise enough to actually be sore, and that feels GREAT to me. I have actually made dinner several times and have established a laundry day, so as to not do laundry all day and get nothing else done. Im sure this is a no brainer to most, but for me to establish a day for something is huge. Usually, if I tell myself I have to do something on a certain day every week , it last about week because by the second one I'm bored with it. This has been fun because I have actually seen Gwen in other clothes besides her fav. outfit, because it's not clean everyday anymore.
I've also been able to have a few phone conversations , by locking myself in the bathroom with Race on my lap and that has actually taught the girls that I'm serious when I say they need to stop talking to me , when I'm on the phone.
With all that said, my house is still relatively dirty and I haven't been able to straighten or blow dry my hair in over 2 weeks. Claire still runs around naked alot and I drink WAY too much coffee.
I owe my renewed sense of peace to God for all those times lately I can hear him saying " Your doing well , Sunny, keep it up, I love you." Sometimes this when I'm in my rocking chair with Race, sometimes it's when I'm cleaning up something Claire spilled or when I'm helping Gwen learn to write letters. He's always there. Just like He says he will be.
