Twilight glitter, children, and how to keep sane

Hello, again. Grab some coffee. We really need it this morning, it is getting down right cold out there. How have you been? Things are starting to get better here. My husband is in Iowa for a few more hours then heading to Oklahoma City to pick up his truck. It is a gold Freightliner. In only three years, it will be ours.
My daughter has been wanting some of that glitter gel so she can sparkle like Edward from Twilight, but do you know how muck that stuff costs?!? It's highway robbery! But I cheat. I discovered a few years ago, you can make your own body glitter a lot cheaper and it is good for the skin. You take some aloe vera gel and add some glitter to it. It is so easy. Then you have a much less expensive version of the Twilight glitter.
S, the oldest, is upset with me and her father for saying how much of a blonde she is. So to set the story straight, she is not dumb. She is very intelligent and is getting very good grades. I am extremly proud of her. She just has a habit of speaking before she thinks. B, our son, is also making me proud with the grades he is making. Both of them are heading for the honor roll this year.
Not to be left out, M, the youngest, is very smart also. She will be three in November and already can reconize her ABC's and knows what sounds they make. Our next step is going to be to teach her how to put it all together and learn to read. Her new thing is to tell me I am her best friend. It is so sweet.
My parents were married nearly thirty years. They shared their secret to a long marriage with me and my husband. They lasted as long as they did for us kids. They made an agreement, whoever left first had to take the kids, and neither of them would touch the door. LOL Loving parents, huh?
Well, I am going to say goodbye for now. So much to do, so little time. Have a good one.
