tip of the day...

well guys, i think i'm losing it. maybe it's the weather-yeah it's the weather. it's been so cold lately, that the kids just stay inside and try to make themselves happy and busy by fighting, spitting, jumping on the couches, picking up nani then dropping her, kicking each other, and everything else they can think of to push my buttons. i realize they're just kids trying to get their wiggles out, as sila likes to put it. so, after their morning cartoons, we put a cd in, turn the music up loud and dance our lives away-even orin gets in on the fun. lately, we've been listening to the likes of shania twain, disney mixed cd, hip hop, marty robbins, celine dion, wicked soundtrack, alicia keys-anything that sounds good to us(me and sila). music really seems to put us all in a better, happier mood. so we listen to music a lot in our home. and the fact is, we really love it. i've even heard our little nani girl singing words to hannah montana. i heard somewhere that if ever you're in a foul mood, the quickest way to turn yourself around is to put on some good music. i like that idea. try it next time you're feeling less than chipper.
