Thanks Giving 8-13

It is the 28th!

Do I give you the whole spill about not being behind?

NO! Because we all know I'm behind.

I'm not even going to ask where the heck this month went. I'm not giving up there will be 23 Thanks on this blog by Wednesday night! before I post one Christmas post.

Here we go....

November 8th

I am thankful to have this opportunity to be in school. I love learning and I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment as I near the end. I'm a little older than I thought I would be when I graduated from college but I wouldn't change a thing.

November 9th

I don't know if I have ever mentioned how grateful I am to have a handy husband. He spent an entire day off of work, with no kids, no plans, PAINTING! Yes, my front room is now a beautiful shade of green that I LOVE, due to a very handy not to mention handsome hubby.

November 10th

Laughter! Not to long ago I posted about not remembering the last time I laughed so hard I cried. Well just the other night I laughed so hard I cried. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt. All thanks to my wonderful goofy family and my son's desire to have pigs in a blanket for dinner.

November 11th

Family. Yes, I know that is an obvious blessing but that is not the reason why I am grateful. I am grateful that my family makes me a better person. I am thankful that I learn as much from my children as they learn from me. I am grateful that I have their support and their love. Life would be pretty dang lonely without them. Also, I wouldn't be half the person I am today.

Trials. I know who in their right might is thankful for trials? However, I know that my trials have opened my eyes. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone and made life better. It is strange that we need trials to grow but we do. I would like to say I have gotten to the point that I embrace trials but I'm not quite there. I am willing to admit that the glass is not half empty or half full. The glass is all full just half of it is water and half of it air.

November 13th

I am grateful for my oldest monster S. She is an awesome kid and I am so blessed to have her as a daughter. Today, (November 13th) she was awarded her Young Women Medallion. She has worked very hard this year to complete all of the requirements. We even ended up having a race to see who finished the Book of Mormon first. I was in the lead for a long time and then she pulled ahead and finished before me. It was an experience I will always remember.

I have ten more thanks to go. December 1st is just a step away. Our Christmas tree is up. The lights are hung and the crunch of Christmas has began.

I love this crazy time of year.

Happy Cyber Monday Everyone

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

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 ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
