There is so much on my mind this morning. I guess thats typical the day before a Holiday right? I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I always grew up going to my Grandmother’s house on every Holiday because she was the ‘Master” cook in the family. Then, it was my Mom’s turn. I am so grateful for my Mother, however; she has a tendency to worry about things being just perfect that the stress level in the house can multiply in the house. So now, the torch has been passed down to me. My plan? Invite as many people who don’t have a big chaotic family to enjoy Turkey Day with. HA! They have no idea to what they are getting themselves into. I am looking forward to it!

Do you ever have that one thing that you just hate to do? I always tell my children to be careful how to use the “hate” word. I will often explain to them that hate is a word you should only use in regards to objects that really have no meaning in the end…(i.e: never say hate about any living thing) Therefore, you really won’t hear it out of my mouth too often. However, today I am going to use it.

Monday Madness (Day 4 of 365)

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Happy Monday! There are so many reasons that I felt compelled and called to write this daily blog for the next 365 days. Not because I think that I am something to write about, but feel that I should share more about the challenges and triumphs that my children and I experience daily (maybe this will give someone else who is struggling hope). Most of all, it is really quite entertaining. I mean, I catch myself frequently looking around and thinking geez..”I wish I had a camera “because you can’t make this stuff up!”. I always felt that my children were given to me to for a reason to make a difference, and I just didn’t or don’t know what that is…but something inside of me is telling me to just start journaling daily. Again, not sure what I am going to write…so at times I’m just gonna do that..write. As I had said before I felt that I needed to start back in August….and as you can see its now the end of November. It was quite scary for me to start because I didn’t even know where to begin. It’s not that I don’t have enough content or information to write about…it is that I have too much to write about!! So, at times I may just write about what we have planned for the day, a recent event, challenges that we are facing, or simply something I feel that you should know about or that I want to share.

Friday night I went to see the movie The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. I had no idea walking in that theatre how much this movie would affect me. It’s affected me so much that I think I might go and watch it again. At least I know to bring a box of tissue this time!

Garage Sale Saturday! (Day 2 of 365)

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

I woke up fairly early this morning for a Saturday (6:15 to be exact) and shortly after that I began sitting outside waiting for the crowd to come to the BEST garage sale EVER! Well, not really…but it was a sale. For the first hour the kids were inside the house as at least one child seemed to make his/her way outside on an average of every 3-5 minutes to attempt to make a deal with me in order to get out of taking a shower or washing their hair. Needless to say, I’m won!
