About Me

When you actually sit down to "describe" yourself, it's actually a bit daunting! Let me just say, I'm a Mom of 2 young boys, a wife, I work full-time and am blessed to be surrounded my many friends and a very involved extended family. I can often be found in my kitchen, in my pyjamas of course, cooking dinner or baking or lamenting over the dishes to be done. I like the comfort and serenity that puttering in my kitchen offers. It is sometimes calming, sometimes a disaster, most times a mess but always filled with love.

Infinite patience

I'm not always the easiest person to put up with.  Shocking, but true.  I must admit I'm prone to histrionics and temper tantrums and sometimes the odd dramatic moment.  Lovely husband bears the brunt of my not so lovely side.  Last night while unsuccessfully trying to wrestle the children into the bath and then to bed I decided it was also a good time to critique how lovely husband was dealing with Owen (aka Mini me) who was engaged in histrionics of his own.  After a few moments consideration it occurred to me that perhaps lovely husband did not in fact appreciate my words of wisdom...or the tone I used.  So I went in search of the poor man, gave him a hug and said: "Lovely Husband, how do you put up with me?"  He quietly considered this question, as is his way, and then responded: "Infinite patience."  I do love that man.
