Hot Chocolate Molten Cake

Ever have one of those weeks?

What am I talking about, everyone has one of those weeks!

One of those weeks where you just want to curl up in a tight ball. Shut the world out and just be miserable.

I had one of those weeks. I'm not sure how it started I have a tingling suspicion that it started with my children.

Doesn't it ALWAYS start with children?

This time it started with their audacity to start another school year and to be another grade older.

Excuse me, I really don't think it is at all fair that I am now the mother of an 8th, 6th, 5th and 2nd grader.
What happened to my four little monsters? Who are all these half grown people?

For some reason this event which is all good and normal and part of life started a downward spiral.

Which may or may not have been all that normal. However, this is ME we are talking about and normalcy is nothing I have every claimed.

By Friday I was a puddle of emotions. Everything was like a mini bomb detonating a stream of tears and resulting in a pounding headache. By Saturday I was a pouffy eyed, headachy, heartbroken girl.

To the rescue came Mom who said, "It is all normal, It is all part of life, you will be fine!"  Which I sobbed, "What do you know?" Then with a laugh she reminded me what she knows. Ok ok she was right because Moms, as we all know, are always right.

Quickly following Mom came my friends and Hot Chocolate Molten Cake!


One piece of cake 4 spoons and a bunch of laughter goes along way to curing a pouffy eyed, headachy, heartbroken girl.

Thank You, thank you I'm totally blessed!

Russ and I had a similar experience; I was freaking out about big kids and he was telling me all would be well. His observation about parenthood was that, "the whole expeience is ultimately about teaching them to be independent and then learning to let them go." I'm all for the independent part, but I wouldn't mind them wanting to be little for just a while longer. Sorry it was a rough adjustment for you.

On a positive note: where the heck did you get that chocolate cake? We call it chocolate puddle pudding because the first time I tried it was in a british pub, and most pub grub has an awesome, catchy name. I tried a couple of recipies, but have yet to taste a cake that comes close to London's dessert. However, I am committed to finding the perfect cake.... and I'm also committed to chocolate.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
