I spotted a new free Kindle Book available today: Angels Watching Over Me by Michael Phillips. It’s about two teenage girls – one born into slavery and one a wealthy daughter of a plantation owner – who come together after they both suffer the loss of their families.

I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. They don’t charge admission, so the kids and I have enjoyed many hours just watching the kittens play 12.

Again, our daughter struggled with picking out gifts for a family that she has never met. My daughter has always had a good heart, but she really struggled back then with the idea that we were buying toys for other children whom we did not know. Had my husband and I backed ourselves into a wall? So take that Santa!).

My oldest daughter had to be in the pool for warm up at 7 am on Saturday morning. My other daughter swims in a different age group and they raced in the afternoon. One of my daughters was actually sobbing Tuesday night, “when are things going back to normal!” Have you ever blown your budget in four days?

I received a call from the school nurse this morning that our oldest daughter wasn't feeling well. She's now in her jammies and wrapped in her blanket on the couch watching some TV. Today, I have a reprieve. I'm nestled nearby catering to her needs and catching up on my email and writing this post.

When I wake up, I need a good 30 minutes to either watch tv or scroll through Facebook and e-mail. The other night, my daughter woke me up at 4:30 a.m. I am not a morning person. I need to do something easy while my mind slowly rises from its still sleepy state to a productive, awake state. Getting Up Early Wasn’t For Me.

I buy two gingerbread house kits; one for each daughter. My kids are on a winter break for two weeks and they need to be entertained or I'll hear, "can I watch TV?" Baking the house components seems like a lot of work to me, especially when the kits are heavily promoted between Thanksgiving and Christmas at the craft stores.

There is cool stuff to watch on the TV. For my daughter, there must be mashed potatoes and gravy, for my son-in-law it’s macaroni and cheese. I have to include these because my Mom used to make button jewelry for my daughter when she was a kid. There is plenty of food and beverages.

One of our daughters has had reactions to tilapia, so I stopped buying it. And we watched a not very nice segment about tilapia on 60 Minutes and I will never buy nor eat it again. I bought another type of white fish that was on sale, but I don’t remember what kind. It was either haddock, flounder, or cod.
