Do I really like being a Mother?

This is me, the tired Mother meant to have been the Queen of an exotic land.

The following was taken from a conversation I had with Lance a few days ago . . .

Me: "UGH not this again," looking at a kitchen full of dishes from just one days' worth of food consumption (I mean I can't believe we are supposed to slave over them every single day!).

Still Me: "I mean is this my purpose? All this beauty, brains, and charm spent with a life of dishes? I HATE doing dishes and I hate making like 100 meals a day and I hate waking up every morning to get kids to school and I hate making sure homework is done and reading is done and baths are taken and clothes are clean and teeth are brushed and rooms are clean!!!"

Lance: "Umm I'm going to pretend that you didn't just say all of that cuz I don't know what to do with this conversation." (He's incredibly sensitive)

Me: "I mean I'm not going to run off or anything, I had these kids and I'm going to woman-up (I changed that cliche' saying) and take care of them, but sometimes I just hate it!

Lance: Silence - shoots me a scared look . . .

At least I felt better after giving my feelings a voice. Then tonight we finally had our yearly "school blessings" and I peeked during Zoey's as she sat there blushing with a huge grin on her face the whole time her Dad was blessing her, while simultaneously Zane was snuggled up to me on the couch stroking my arm and laying his head on my shoulder. I ended the day by looking at some pictures of Chubs and I couldn't believe how much I loved them.

The End.

Do you have to be a Republican to be Mormon?

Lance here. Finally found the password. I had a co-worker ask me once if a person is Mormon do they have to be a republican? I will say it now the same as I did then. Not necessarily - but if you had a brain you would ALWAYS be a part of a party that preaches free agency and anti-socialism. Perhaps these few reminders will help convince our poor lost democratic friends.

If you vote for Obama....

You get this.....

But if you vote for McCain....

You get this...

I don't know about you but looking at this in a logical manner, McCain appears to be the better candidate.

Like I tell all my confused BYU friends.............when you dig real deep, we all bleed RED.

OUT!

Calling my Tanyas . . .

I have two friends named Tanya, who, incidentally won't let me in to their blogs and I really do want to see their lives through the blog. I'm not a pedophile; and I promise I won't stalk your children or anything; (I have enough of my own) and I make good, positive, uplifting and sometimes funny comments so why won't you let me in, why???? Alright, here's my email address rose.lance@gmail.com is this some kind of security risk or something, posting my email like this (well it's Lance's so what do I care)? So if your blog is private, and you want a really cool person looking at your blog (even if your name isn't Tanya) then add me and leave a comment . . .

Shadow Dancing my loves . . .

You got me looking at that Heaven in your eyes . . .
And I was loving you . . .
And in a world of people,
there's only you and I, there ain't nothin' come between us in the end . . .
Can I hold you when you aren't mine . . .
Do it light, my angels . . .

All I need is just one moment in your arms . . .

I LOVE the sweet sensation of living in your love, my sweeties. Happy first birthday my chubs. (Accessories and photography courtesy of Cherished Moments in Pleasant Grove 100 East across from fire station).

'Cause they're my ladies . . .

She's my new favorite lady, (exhibit 1, my new screen name) Palin for Prez!!! Although I would LOVE to get my hands on her for a make over.

We all know how much I love her, and she has a new song that melts me. Listen http://http://www.spinner.com/2008/08/12/sarah-mclachlan-u-want-me-2-song-premiere/ . . .
