Blue Monday

Jeff sent me an article entitled “It’s Blue Monday: The Unhappiest Day of the Year. The article stated that “British psychologist Cliff Arnall has designated January 22, 2007 as Blue Monday – the most miserable day of the year”. I was wondering if this goes for adults and children. Because if it goes for children this would explain there insane behavior yesterday… causing me to become pretty miserable.

Vitamins

My pediatrician gave me some new vitamins for the kids. Korben’s are a little bit bigger (square shaped) than Kenzie’s (shaped round) because of there age difference. Each day when I give them their vitamins they switch, just like everything else I give them. Today I got smart, I will give them each others to begin with and then when they switch they will have their own. Nope… they each took the vitamin I gave them and immediately put it in their mouths. This has never happened before. As much as they like their vitamins they never just eat them… right away that is. They talk with each other about the color and shape and why we take vitamins and then after the switch they eat them. Not today.

Simple Things

My wonderful hubby makes breakfast practically every morning.  He’ll make pancakes, eggs, potatoes, muffins, etc.  I will wash frying pans and pots but I hate washing the muffin pan.  Do muffin pans ever really come clean?  Mine sits on the counter for about 3 days before I attempt the impossible.  Getting the pan into the sink for soaking is a step in the right direction. After about a day of soaking I begin to scrub and after a few minutes I give up and think this time the dishwasher will clean it (even though it hasn’t the last 5 times I put it in there).  The dishwasher makes things worse by baking the food remnants in.  Now even more frustrated I put the pan away to deal with it next time.

As I was walking through the grocery store yesterday something wonderful caught my eye… muffin baking cups.  Why hadn’t I thought of this earlier?  They must have had these here the thousands of other times I have grocery shopped.  How did I miss them?  It didn’t matter I was so excited to purchase these colorfully decorated baking cups.  I love when something so simple brightens my day, makes my life in the kitchen a little less stressful.  Simple things…I hope that I can remember slow down in life a little bit more so I don’t miss the joy that simple things in life give… like muffin baking cups.
