Stupid Choice

Sometimes in my life I simply mess up!

Make a stupid choice and then life falls apart.

Most of the time it happens because I am overwhelmed. Juggling way to many balls and life is out of control.

I messed up, made a stupid choice, and I am now standing in the middle of the fall out.

Thankfully there isn’t too much fall out and life is going to go on much like it has without too much change.

Although, I have learned some major life lessons:

#1 Never believe you are above being caught. You will get caught one way or the other your choices will come to light.

#2 Never underestimate the comfort of loved ones. They’re there to wipe the tears and assure you that everything is going to be okay.

#3 Never underestimate how much you are being watched. Even when you screw up if your previous actions have been above board people are more than happy to help you off your butt.

#4 Humble pie goes a lot farther than anger and denial. If you did it be honest and apologize. After your done apologizing, apologize some more. Then apologize again.

You (I) messed up, denying it is only going to tick the people who are trying to help off.

So as for what I did well that is just a whole other story that I have decided I want to burry under a rock and pretend it never happened. So it is buried! Let’s just say that sometimes it isn’t what happens that counts but what you learn from it.

Thank you to all the wonderful people in my life that love me and all my many flaws.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
