Did I mention that chocolate chip cookies go very nicely with peppermint tea? Yes, we’re still very much into our cookies here. Gotta love that Pillsbury cookie dough.
Late post tonite, but one nonetheless. I was just upstairs with the sistahs & hubby, chatting away. We started off catching a poor excuse for a joke from an email that a sista received today. It was a (clean) proposition, which she had to turn down. And well, convos evolve and we had a great discussion. Prayer really does make such a positive difference in one’s life. We made a pact; to pray together on a regular basis. While we’re all living together, we should be constructive with our time. It’s no accident that we’re here at this time. I can’t see the future, but I can make the most of the present.
Had a busy one today. Baby slept in nicely–yay! I was able to get up before she did, but not too early. Got a head start on my dish for potluck tomorrow. When she awoke, I got her dressed and we went to run a few errands. Got back, and organized a few things for church tomorrow. I’m so glad to have those Veggie Tale Silly Songs DVDs. It provides me with a nice diversion for Jamayia on the occasion when I have pressing matters to tend to. Since she refused to sleep, we ventured into the kitchen and made supper for the family.
I did manage to catch some of the Osmonds on Oprah. It was quite interesting. I didn’t grow up in the Osmond era, so I missed all the hype. But, watching the clips and hearing the music, they were almost similar to the Jacksons, minus the drama. It was encouraging to see that a large family can live through the entertainment industry and still stick together. It was also very nice to see that they weren’t pathetically sad over the death of their father. There were moments of sadness on the show, but in a touching way. That’s probaby because they seemed to have no outlying regrets of their lives growing up. Not to say that none of them had any mistakes or shadows in their pasts. I know that there’s no way the Jackson family would’ve been able to make it through the Oprah show in a comfortable manner.
I’d love to see moments like that in my family. Looks like I’ve got some loving to do.
