It's 12:15 am & I'm baking muffins---what do you do when you can't sleep????? Watch TV? Read? I bake!!! Tonight it's Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins!!! They'll be all ready for breakfast when we get up.
Speaking of getting up---for the second time in the past 4 days, our phone line (which is currently not working on our end), has placed a "hang up" call to 911! Both times at midnight!!! And both times, we have been awakened by a police banging on the door, wondering if we were all right! Now, while this is comforting knowing the local police are efficient, it's also rather aggravating---Peter & the Wolfe aggravating!!! Next time, if we SHOULD have to call 911, they may not arrive!!! The first night we accused the dog & cat of playing with the phone (ha ha), but I was actually awake tonight and can confirm the animals were asleep!
Had the kids over for burgers & fried potatoes tonight. Hank is just getting too cute, and now he has started calling me "ya ya". That kid can have whatever he wants when he looks at me with those big blue eyes, grins and says "ya ya". Boy, does he have me wrapped.
Speaking of ya ya---I watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" this afternoon---love, love that movie!!! Anyhoo--I did notice that when a cousin comes in and sees the grandmother, she says "Hi ya ya". Told you I knew it was Greek for grandmother!!!
I found this little quiz a few months back, looking at a journaling website, and now, let's play along!! I'll answer the bold questions, and you let me know if you answered. I'll visit your blog & read your responses---K??? What better do I have to do at 12:15 am?????
I love the smell of fresh cut grass, powered babies, the after-smell of rain.
I love the sound of my kids voices, Christmas music, old hymns, my husband's laugh, Broadway musicals
I love the taste of Orange Spice Hot Tea, gravy, bread, Dole Orange Pineapple Banana juice
I love the sight of my kids cars pulling in the drive, snow, Friday on the calendar
I love the feel of towels fresh from the dryer, my husband's arms around me, Hank's little hand on my cheek, a bright sunny day
Ok--muffins are done and lookin good!!! Gotta catch some shut eye! Have a great Sunday.

I am afraid I would be a bit stressed if the police came my door also! I hope your weather has calmed down. We are sitting wtih a foot and a half of snow in Washington.
We are making those very muffins for Muffin Monday this afternoon.
happy Monday!
It's so cute when little ones come up with what to call their grandmothers. I like ya ya. That sounds so sweet and when I caught it in the Big Fat movie I thought it so endearing from the adult children.
A friend of mine just wrote a post about waking up in the wee hours, thought you would like it:

Dang...muffins sound pretty good right about now. (And to think I was distraught about my niece calling me fat. lol).
Anywho - I was just thinking about that movie Big Fat Greek Wedding the other day. Remember how the dad in that movie is with the windex? That's my husband except he thinks Pepto Bismol (sp?) will cure and/or solve anything. Everytime one of the kids says they've don't feel well or they have a headache or a backache or a toothache or even a hangnail or whatever, Randey's reaching for the Pepto. Cracks me up. All this time, he thought he was of Nordic descent. Nahhhhh - I'm thinking he's Greek at heart. lol
