It has been a wonderful day around here, if you are a dad. Homemade biscuits with sausage gravy were served at breakfast. The non-dad males grilled out for dinner and I made my lime and cilantro salsa and shortbread cookies with berries for dessert. And there's a basketball game on tonight. I don't get the basketball thing, but today, my hubby deserves some un-complained-about time in his recliner enjoying the exciting world of professional game playing.
One life-changing moment: My kids had their first cups of coffee today. I know. Some of you will think I'm a terrible mother for letting them drink (gasp!) caffeinated, grown-ups-only bean extract, but I started drinking coffee very young and I turned out okay, right? Right? Anybody? While Drew is hard to catch on camera these days, my Little Ham is always willing to model and emote. Here is how she felt about her first sip of her own cup of coffee:
And I finished a dress. I won't be making many dresses for a while. They're pretty hard and make me swear a lot. Skirts. I think we'll regress to skirts. But, see what I made???
Isn't it cute? Here's the back:
Guess what else happened that was wonderful? It finally rained!
DAILY BLISS: forgetting about most of my "special diet" today and having a cookie, having the storm wind whip my messy haircut around and make it even messier and a cute, new dress that I made

I think I drank coffee out of a bottle!!! The Dress is darling - you are really good.
Lovely, lovely dress. You did a fabulous job!!! Three cheers for RAIN!
Is coffee any worse for anyone than most of the other stuff we eat and drink on a daily basis. Mountain Dew? Energy drinks? The reason I don't drink much coffee is because my mom would complain of a raging headache if she didn't drink hers and apparently it made enough of an impression on me to not want it. I've given the girls decaf and they love it.
The dress is beautiful, beautiful! I'd like to think that I could do something like that but I'm afraid that I too would be inclined to much swearing. Or faux swearing at the very least :)
Hooray for rain!
Faux swearing is completely acceptable, though not always as much fun....
Thanks for all the dress love, guys :)
When did you start swearing?? Shame on you pretty girl! Mother :)
