Sorry I meant to post this earlier but my house has been chaotic since Saturday morning.  I had a church pageant for my daughter on Saturday morning. Let me tell you that was fun to see but OMG my son wanted to sing after every class was finished with their songs.  It was close to the end when he started throwing himself on the floor because I would not let him go sing.  I had to pull him out of church, let me tell you that was so much fun.  I had to drop the kids off because I was going to go grocery shopping for the week and for all the supplies I needed to make cookies. Yes, you heard it right COOKIES.   We made 7 different kinds of cookies in three days and they are all kid approved.  The kids were waiting to eat the cookies as soon as came out of the oven.

Sunday my daughter was sick with a bad cough and all she wanted to do was watch movies. While I was making cookies, I had to stop to put a new movie on.  Making cookies was chaotic, but it smelled so good in the house for the next few days.

I will be posting the recipes of the cookies that I made in future blogs.

In October, my mother purchase a DNA kit from Ancestry.com and had my grandmother take it. The test took a little bit over a month to get the results.  The results were very interesting and I learned new information about where my family came from. I did not know a few things like we are 6% Scandinavian. I have not looked at my family tree since I was in junior high school and had to do a project on it.

When I received the results from the DNA they also sent me possible family members.  We had one to my mother 2 or 3 third cousin contact us.  I started mid-day on Friday and just finished today Saturday Dec. 10^th around 11pm.  I was told to stop and my head just could not take any more names.

I could go all the way back to the 1700 and never thought I would be able to do that. It was hard to find information because back then. everyone named their kids the same names.  Wives died and the husbands remarried and had more kids.  Husbands died and the wives remarried and had more kids.  I have a lot more to research to do on the family and I’m going to have fun doing it.  I will let you know what I find out when I get everything lined up correctly.

I am a single mother and I have two wonderful kids.  Hear it come but sometimes I just want to scream.  Last night was one of those night. First my son who is 3 years old would not go to bed until 11pm and he would only go to sleep in my bed.  As we were in bed he tells me to rub his back, his feet and his head.  So, I ask him why I had to rub him but you never rub my back or feet.  He laughs at me and say because my hands hurt so I cannot rub your back. I laughed and then started to rub his head.  Finally, at 12am he was asleep.  I am starting to fall asleep and then I hear my bedroom   door opening.  Now what is going on I’m think in my head.  It is my daughter she wants to come sleep in the bed too because she had a nightmare about zombies.  I let her in my bed and she begins to tell me what her zombie dream was about.  I tell her to lay down and go back to sleep.  Now I have a queen size bed but there is still no room for me in the bed with them in it.  Now let me tell you something I need to have a step stool to even get in my bed because it is tall. So, my son sleeps far away from the edge because he moves a lot. Then comes my daughter and then me.  Both of kids move a lot in bed and they like to kick. At 3:30am I got sick of getting kicked or almost getting pushed off the bed so I left the room and slept in my daughter’s bed.  I don’t know what to do anymore.
