Just a list....

Hello 2011!

A few years ago I decided not to have New Year resolutions. Not a resolution not to have one because that would be an oxymoron. I don't think I have ever kept my resolutions. I am always so disappointed in myself that I couldn't do that one thing or do without that one thing for a year. In some cases my resolution was over and done with by February. Today I am making a list of things I would like to accomplish or do this year. Mostly for me to look back on at the end of the year.  Maybe for some accountability?  Regardless, here is what I would like to consider in 2011......

Get certified to teach again and possibly go back to teaching.

Do a better job at communicating play group activities.

Organize my clutter in a fashionable way (this is going to take time and money).

Take the next 7 months to spend time with Nathan with no regrets come August when he starts Kindergarden.

Do the PTA scrapbook without hating the decision to be the PTA historian.  I also want to make time to craft.  Set a date, time and lock the door.

I want to look into what I consider my "passion" and see how I can use this for good and not evil.  The most important piece is starting to do something with what it is I like to do.

Seems like a resolution, but it isn't because I said it isn't a resolution!  It is a list of ideas, yeah a list of ideas.  No worries, just a list.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
