Moments of Sanity

Busy days call for little times of quiet sprinkled in.

A bowl full of dried lentils occupied Laurel long enough for me to get the dishes done and make a few phone calls.  (of course a good sweep was needed when she was finished.)

Spiced tea with strawberry cheesecake jelly beans (which I stole from the stash that is supposed to go to school for gingerbread house decorating later this week) after the girls went to bed.

A few more days (exactly 3) and then we will be on Christmas break (exactly 3 whole weeks).  We are all staggering towards the finish line. 

This is such a busy time of year...don't forget to stop and stir the split peas and taste the jelly beans!
