I Sound Like my Mother

When I start cooking dinner, I'm focused on this...

But as soon as I think I've got a good idea together, this happens...

At this point I realize that I'm saying things to the dogs like, "No thank you Tenne!" and "Texas, be gentle." My mama-lingo is just about to fly out the window until I look over (as the veggies are burning on the stove) and see this...

She goes straight for the wallet! A girl has to know where the cash is in case of a desperate situation, right?! Desperate, like, she needs a new outfit for her weekend out of town. Anyway, life is a box of chocolates lately and I am enjoying each one, no matter how different than the day before. I've been scaring myself at times when I look at Eva and recognize how similar she looks to Brandon and at other times I look at myself and hear my mother coming out! Finally, at the end of cooking dinner and after cleaning up an entire dish of water (the dog's bowl that Eva flipped over) I glance over to see this face...

and it's all worth it. :)
