Either slow news week or I dunno....

Well, as the title states, either I had a slow news week or nothing really popped out at me as 'BlogWorthy'. Monday--worked/picked up kids/cooked/cleaned/laundry
Tuesday-repeat Monday....get the idea? Sometimes I think I'm gonna journal everyday and have such an appreication for life its gonna be great why didn't I do this years ago.....then that thought goes away...er rather I think, that's not journal worthy...nah...what's on HGTV?
Got my nails done this week...in my mind its like a glorified "spa day" only its just my nails and chatting w/Marla......no facial or massage.....let's call it 'budget spa day'! Then my sweetpea T got something the Hollon children so far have never had...detention--20 whole minutes.....talking.
Ya know, she's gets that from Gary, poor girl, just like her dad, blah blah blah, he just goes on and on......she lived.....very upset and completely wronged and the teacher hates her and the school is out to get her, but she lived. The teacher even apologized to her saying she really didn't deserve the detention just wanted her to stop being so chatty.........hhmmm, I call that 'caving'---T must have had on her I'm about to die face......that one works on lots of folks.....except u know who.....she's fine....nothing therapy won't cure in 20 yrs or so! LOL She even told me, Mom, most of my friends think you are a mean mom......really......hhhmmm......only MOST??? My game must be off, I usually get ALL..............I'm perfectly fine being the mean mom. I had the mean parents too and low and behold I made it thru life and never became an exotic dancer, never had Bambie for a nickname,no mugshots lurking out there and no arrests. Just saying...that's all.
Did I mention it was a s.l.o.w. week? I got a new headshot on my Facebook page and got an email from an old guy friend telling me I looked younger in the other pic......dontcha just love men?!
Speaking of FB.....I like it. Simple. Easy. I don't need Brady to explain anything. Thumbs up.
I'll be on the look out this next week for blog worthy events.
Only 155 days til my 20 yr reunion.........FYI

Ciao Bella!

When the new year came about I said to myself, self, this year I am going to always look on the bright side, look for blessings and seek Him in all things b/c I know He's there.
Apparently self has ADD and a sketchy memory. So now, I'd like to just ask for prayer.
For preserverance to keep trying to get my real estate and insurance bizes going and healthy for I am not made of gold and don't have a money tree in the backyard. For patience of which needs no explaination if ya know me at all. For whatever it is you would call letting people in and not being so guarded. For self control, b/c the preacher I heard on the radio the other morning said we all needed self disipline and no has never been my favorite word. And just for some plain ole blessings to come my way b/c there are just days I look up and say, Are You watching the same channel as me?? Last year was really a yucky year and I REALLY would like a catch a few breaks this one. I firmly believe the saying, 'and this too shall pass', I have no doubt my God is in control. Maybe its just me in a strange mood. See, there I go again trying to discount myself.
Ok, just lift me up if ya can, I'd appreciate it and I'll be doing the same for ya'll. Tomorrow is a new day--the sun will shine again--what else?? Uh, I think I can, I think I can--what doesn't kill you will make you fat--er I mean strong--that's all I can muster for now.........I gotta go wipe my hubbys eyes..........OU lost the "big" game............again.
Much love to you all.......................

Dah-Dah-daummmmmmmmmmm

Confession:
Breakfast: Cinnamon roll
Dinner: Potato soup

OK! Not only did I fall off the wagon, I think I jumped- bungee style!!!
Low carb only works for me when my family is not home! So start school back already!!
HOWEVER----I did walk at the park w/ my hubby-who can walk at the speed of light and my short legs practically run to keep up......
Tomorrow is a new day. **SIGH**
I am a good person, I have a brillant personality.....working on my 'inner talk' :)
Remember what that saying says in my kitchen??
"Dear Lord, if you can't make me skinny, please make my friends fat."

I'm mailing all of you cookies right now!!! ;)
