Some women want diamonds... I am ecstatic for a new stove!

Anyone read The Egg and I? If you haven't you need to! The best and funniest book ever! The 1940's movie was pretty hilarious though too.

If you haven't read the book or watched the movie,  one of the main characters is Stove. Yes, that literally means Stove. Stove had a temperment to match that of a cantankerous woman. Unpredictable and cranky, Stove was. I have my version of Stove. And she's getting replaced TODAY. Brand new electric stove with a convectioners oven! You may think me absolutely insane but i'm ecstatic! No more saggy cakes, no more burnt chicken in the back, underdone in the front, no more sparking elements, or pots set to boil and 20 minutes later the element never even turned on. Yay!!!

Alright, children. Most days it's one, but today it's both. Chalotte is cutting teeth so she is cranky cranky cranky, and Sarah is pushing every button I have today. From soaping the entire bathroom, to locking her sister in her room, to pulling a chunk out of my freshly made bread... This mama is exasperated, and exhausted. Nobody ever tells you that having children is 90% work and aggravation rewarded by a mere 10% of love and kisses! Can't say I don't love parenting though, and wouldn't miss the aggravation. I'm such a mother... No woman in her right mind would ever say such a thing!
