I spent a good part of the last two days doing two things.
One, I had signed up to take part in an auction item "Chocolate dessert of the month". There were six of us and we each picked a chocolate dessert to make and a monthe to do it. Then at the auction people bid on it. The highest bidder then is delivered a chocolate dessert each month for six monthes. I choose to make a truffle assortment. I had made cappucino truffles a couple of times before, but that was it. I thought that this would give me the opportunity to try a few more recipes. I made the a vanilla dusted raspberry truffle, peanut butter truffle, and mint truffles along with the cappucino truffles. I delivered about three and half dozen truffles. I actually thought that making them wasn't too difficult and they tasted amazing. The only down fall was how messy working with chocolate is. My hubby was kind enough to help with the clean-up. Thank you Hubby!
The second task was to label and address all the corporate sponsor letters. I also had to create a spreadsheet with all the addresses and phone numbers so that I can keep track of them. I finally got that finished. I have only to drop the stack of fifty letters at the post office.
But let me tell you what really made my day. the children were watching a video during quiet time and my two year old stood up and announced, " I need my mommy!". He came over to where I was working on the computer and climbed in my lap for a hug and a kiss. Sat just a few moments and then got up to return to the video. Amazing how such a simple little gesture can make your heart feel as though it may explode. These moments make all the potty accidents talking back, and sibling rivalry all worth it.
