This morning I had grand resolutions to be the Best Mom Ever and patiently refereed fights and tantrums in between reading the girls books and playing games with them, but at about 10:30 am I petered out and stuck the girls in front of <i>Veggie Tales.\u00a0<\/i>I spent the rest of the day in front of my Kindle reading <i>Divergent.<\/i> I would resolve to be the Best Mom Ever tomorrow, but I want to finish the book now. Maybe Wednesday?<\/p>\n<p>School was great. I absolutely love my partner, Roni. She looks exactly like one of Raphael&#8217;s cherubs, and on the first day of class she endeared herself to my heart by whispering to me that the class was aggravating her issues with anxiety. I felt an immediate connection, and we have been exchanging secret, pained smiles ever since.<\/p>\n<p>We made the turnip pear soup I practiced this weekend. The chefs enhanced it by instructing us to make rosemary bubbles, pear fluid gel, and charred pears. It is quite tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures!<\/p>\n<p>Talking to Nana:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1058.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6458\" alt=\"IMG_1058\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1058-e1423551043626-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1061.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6457\" alt=\"IMG_1061\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1061-e1423551033788-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My chef showing us how to break down a suckling pig.
