a picture to tell a thousand words...



I know. My blogging frequency has dropped recently. In fact, it's been nonexistent.

To explain, this picture sums up my life since my last post in August. This unique piece of art is actually a big accident. Desperate to get Max to take a pacifier and hopefully help him be happy, I bought a half dozen pacies that seemed to be acceptable to him. As soon as I got them home from the store, I threw them in a pan of boiling water to sterilize. Two hours later, as I am putting the kids to bed, holding a fussing baby, I kept smelling something. I wondered if something in the dishwasher was burning or maybe the oven was on. I seriously couldn't figure it out. FINALLY I remembered - AUGH the pacifiers!!! The water had completely boiled out of the pan, leaving these to burn on the bottom. The house stunk for days. I blame it on sleep deprivation, and a house full of kids, including one very NEEDY baby.

The funny thing was, they melted into the shape of a heart. A good keepsake I guess.

Now back to the store for more pacies...
