    Thanksgiving Week 2011

    Well, I survived the Thanksgiving week. I was supposed to work 9-6 Monday and Tuesday. Saturday night, I felt drainage down in my throat, so I went to look for some cold meds, but we didn’t have exactly what I needed. I just went to bed without taking anything. Needless to say, I woke up Sunday with a sore throat. Monday, I woke up not feeling any better. In fact, I was having a hard time hacking my stuff up. I stopped by Walgreens for some Mucinex and headed on to work. Everyone was asking me what was wrong. “You’re…

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 28

    Today I’m thankful for Christmas time. I’m thankful for my Lord and Savior, who sacrificed his Son for me and you. Christmas time is my favorite time of year. Yes, I enjoy decorating, the music, the food, the smells, child laughter and joy, parties, time off, time with family. How can you not love this time of year when you have all that?

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 25

    Today I’m thankful for the little things in life. The laughter of my children, the beautiful fall colors, the butterflies in the spring, the smell of homemade spaghetti sauce cooking, the silliness of Daisy, the comfort of my bed. All these are little pretty “insignificant” things, but they make me smile and happy even when things seem to be going all wrong.

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 24

    I am thankful for the invention of the camera. I just think about all the things that my photographs help me remember. All the memories that I have stored up, that I can look back through thanks to a camera. Whether it be a Kodak 110 or a Canon Rebel, they all serve a purpose and the most important to me is preserving memories!

    Sick

    What great timing! Saturday night before going to bed, I could tell I had some drainage on my throat, but we didn’t have the type of medicine that would really help. Or so I thought. Consequently, Sunday I woke up with a raging sore throat. As Saturday went on I continued to feel not so great. Monday I went to work and ended up just staying at home after my lunch break. Monday night I had a hard time sleeping. Coughing, sore chest, head ache. So yesterday after getting the kids off to school I went to the local Doc…

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 23

    I am so thankful for music. Music has always been such an integral part of my life. Music brings me up when I’m feeling down. It’s there for me to celebrate to. It’s there to take me back in time. It’s there all the time to dance to, to cry to, to laugh to!

    Kroger Deals

    Ok, so I took a couponing class that an acquaintance from my church has been teaching for awhile. [Not extreme couponing] It’s been all the buzz on Facebook. I was so excited when she scheduled a class that I could attend. I learned a few things, but since I had already done some extensive research, I knew a lot of what she said. One thing is just awareness! I’m looking at the weekly ads, so today when I went to get corn for Alex’s class feast, I decided to look around and see if I found anything worth while. Here’s…

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 21

    I am thankful for my in-laws. I have 2 sets with Rob’s parents being divorced. One lives closer, one that lives farther, but ones that I see about the same amount. I’m happy that we don’t have a love-hate relationship like many in-laws experience. They are always supportive and loving.

    I am thankful for the Food Network! I can’t tell you how much I have learned from the hours and hours that I’ve watched that channel. Rob can attest that if I’m at home and the TV is on, it’s probably on Food. From Rachel Ray to Paula Deen, I love ’em all.

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 20

    I am thankful for our little humble abode. I love our house. I am thankful to have a roof over my head and one that is large enough to store all our “stuff.” All the little things we take for granted like heat, AC, running water. I am blessed.

    1. A nervous habit I have is shaking my leg or rocking front to back. 2. Something that makes me sad is being away from my family. 3. Today I am thankful for medication. 4. My favorite room in my house is the living room. 5. I can’t stand inconsiderate people. 6. If I had an extra $100 to spend on whatever I wanted today I would buy some new clothes. 7. The last person I hung out with was Rob.

    I am thankful for our wonderful community of Auburn. Small town feel that is growing and thriving. Not much traffic, except on game weekends. A college community with so many awesome opportunities and resources.

    Den Meeting {Science Belt Loop}

    Our den meeting tonight was really awesome. Just another reason we are so lucky to live in a college town. You really don’t realize all the resources that are available until you actually do live in a college town. One of our boy’s Dad, Dr. L, is a professor in Microbiology. We got to go to the building where he works. The first thing the boys did was put a glow in the dark powder on their hands. First, the boys got to see their hands glow. Then, they went to wash their hands to see how clean they really…
