I'm Ready!!!!!!!

Happy Happy New Year Friends!

I'm popular in Ireland, Romania, South Korea, Japan, Norway and let me not forget my native friends! LOL. I love the readers of the world!

Resolutions anyone? Some people don't do resolutions, but I ...am going with the old standard. I'm not above putting something out there in hopes of accomplishing something great! LOL...failure shouldn't be an option, but if I do...better luck to me next year.

First, I'm going to Breathe Deeply a little more. That means a little meditating and yoga for me. I need some serious ZEN.

Second, realizing I can't change other's hard line views and not being so emotional about it would really be helpful, as well.

Finally, the gluten is killing me. So, after my Chinese tonight, and the suffering that I'm sure I'll partake in later on tonight, I will figure out a more gluten free menu for living. Celiac can hit a person during times of high stress...hmmm... no wonder it hit me like a ton of bricks in my gut at the ripe old age of 39!

Finally Finally...I wish you all Happiness, Health, and good Will toward fellow HUMANKIND! I mean that! Let's be kind to one another.

Ok 2010 I'm ready for you!
Love and Kisses until next year!

Little Latkes

I think the Holiday and Christmas Blahs are over. It was a great Day, but you know there was still the part missing family and friends...the lonely part. I wasn't lonely...don't get me wrong. I was just missing a part of my world.

Well, tonight I made the most amazing Latkes. I might not be the sister taking the kids to Tot Shabot, but I do make the best Latkes. The key is the Sierra Nevada in the batter and getting all the moisture out of the potatos. So so so very good.

The Day After...

Happy Day after.

Recovering Recovering Recovering....

There's absolutely nothing planned today and the Mommy needs a break!

xoxoxo

Merry Christmas!

Did you wake up to happy anxious kids waking you to get out of bed and fast! Well, I did and it was fabulous. We open one person at a time and in order. LOL. Who made up that tradition...ummmm me. I like pictures of faces as they open the gifts. Plus, the anticipitation of waiting for each and every gift. And let's just be clear...it makes opening up the gifts take longer than 10 minutes! LOL. After all the hard work and months of planning I refuse to let the Tsunami of wrapping happen in 10 minutes or less..LOL! :)

Everyone enjoyed the day. I took a much needed little nap and woke up just in time to get the Prime Rib into the oven. Dinner was great and appreciated by everyone. Happy times for all.

I hope you had a great day. xoxo.

Mr. Postman

Thank you Mr. Postman for helping me out and getting my package out even though you were getting ready to close! You saved me today.

Just a simple act for him, but for me..HUGE! Thank you. Just simple acts of kindness friends. Simple Acts. Peace starts with kindess.

I want PEACE on Earth and Good Will to one another....

Safe

Have you ever been the exception? Did you choose the scary unsafe choice and let yourself just take a risk. Safe choices can lead to safe. Safe can equal empty.

Picking up pieces can lead to saving oneself and risking happiness.

I love...Continue to love

Bring On The Cards..and anything else!

There's one gingerbread house is in the house, so bring on the Holiday Cards! They are here and I'm filling them out right now. Ok, well I'm blogging really fast, then I'm addressing. Don't you love Costco? I needed it this week. It only took a day to get my sweet holiday cards made. This, alone, has made my Saturday!

Patient Update:
She's feeling better. She can't talk, but she's a good good patient. The pain medicine doesn't seem to knock her out, like I thought it would. Thankfully it does help her pain. Before she knows it she'll be feeling so much better. She needs to, because the holiday is around the corner!

My Boy:
My Boy is so excited. He's wrapped presents on his own and how cute they are! He still needs to "get you a present mommy." :) He's been busy making Ben 10 accessories for his Omnitrex Watch. These accessories..lol..are completely hand made. He's drawn all 10 characters...found wood chips to use for the little slots in the watch to open the "special characters." He's one busy guy!


The Miss...
Well she's been in her little world today. She has homework over the vacation so she's getting it done. Homework? Who assigns homework? Ugh. Speaking of homework, though. Here is the best and greatest 3D Human Cell I've ever seen. :) How creative is she?! She simply is amazing. :)


Ok Until tomorrow...xoxoxo
I guess I have so much more to share and need my blogging again!

Tonsil Day

Friday's been a busy one so far. Sweet Ava had her tonsils out and she's been a totally brave! She's not able to eat anything and drinking is a challange, but she's going to feel sooo much better when she's healed. She's had so many strep infections and throat problems with her gastro reflus, that this is going to
this will be just what she needed.



There's still a list of so much to do...Cards, Shopping, A Few Choice Gifts, and SHIPPING...OH MY!

FREEZING

I am beyond cold tonight.

Friday Night

Examining life.

I love my kids. I love my kids more than life.

Children make the Season what it is.

We do have those moments, though....when it's time for a super calming moment. It's impossible to escape to yoga. The bathroom hideout is out of the question, because as all mom's know the kids would knock on the door, "Mommy. Mommy. Mommy."

Last night was one of my moments. What was a perfect moment last night? I chose a beautiful glass, lol..some cheap wine, and my favorite section of one of my favorite books! :)
