Laughter is the best medicine.

See if a couple of things make you giggle and if they do, I'm happy. I put these on Facebook and no one thought they were funny.............what's your favorite. Mine would be to skip everywhere you walk tomorrow.

and

confirming 2 or 3 times at the drive thru window, that this is a "to go" order.

16 ways to maintain a Healthy level of insanity.

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars, see if they slow down.

Being a parent

I guess today is a day I realized that some folks don't understand that parenting never stops. You know that feeling you get when your child is born. No body can understand that and you know it never is forgotten. Nothing severs that. And nothing stops that being a mommie or a daddie. Some folks never understand and its undescribable. I remember when both my kids were born and I will feel connected to them forever no matter what life brings whether it be marriage or kids, or moving away, or whatever. Nothing can make me terminate being a momma. Sometimes its hard for folks to understand. There is no real connection like being a momma or a daddy, that's if you want it to be. Thank God, there are mommas and daddas who still feel connected after years and years and changes and changes. No matter what.
I love my Brandon and Meghan whatever life holds. I hope for the best and I hope they know that I love them forever and ever.
This is my thought today. So many people think their responsibilities are over after marriage or college but I want my kids to know I am here always and will always be their momma.

A Nice Quiet Weekend

The past two days have been really quiet and I got caught up on alot of rest. Last night was kind of scarey as I found out that I must be allergic to Brazil nuts. My throat started swelling and we were kinda scared there for a while as it was difficult to swallow. But 3 Benadryl later, and I was ok but had the EpiPen out in case. I guess I haven't eaten Brazil nuts since I was about 10 years old and usually just eat cashews or pecans or almonds by themselves but no more mixed nuts that's for sure.

Today I started working on a house~~~~~ nope, no remodeling, but a new project, designer is Homespun Elegance. The colors are Belle Soi "Red Fox" and "Expresso". Being silk, they feel like butter going through the fabric. As you can see, I have a meek start but actually it took me most of the afternoon to get to this point. I think this one is neat "Home is Where You Hang Your Needlework".

I also had fun enjoying my Christmas goodies. Here are some really pretty pink pearls from Meghan and a lovely wine decanter and glasses!! We were just talking tonight about what we may do on New Year's Eve and I think we are going to invite a couple of neighbors down the street and I can use my decanter!!!! And of course, I will also have some great snacks too from Brandon!

The next few days we can all think about our New Years resolutions. What are your resolutions this year?
