About Me

I am married to J, a dirt-bike riding, bio-diesel making, constantly tinkering and thinking, all around wonderful and extremely patient man.

Thursdays Thoughts and Thanks

Thursday Thanks
  • I am thankful for family and friends that light-heartedly tease me about my tendency to injure myself simply walking.
  • I am thankful for a very good friend that makes the best out of spending the day holding a booth at a craft fair that got very little traffic.
  • I am thankful for the doctor's that have helped us discover that E's health issues are caused by enlarged adenoids and tonsils. He will be having surgery on Dec 6th. 
  • I am thankful that my husband is very involved in our sons' Boy/Cub Scout Groups. He is a wonderful, kind, patient Akela that they are all very lucky to have.
  • I am thankful for the doctor's that took care of my mom when she was fighting pneumonia.
  • I am thankful for Sleepytime Tea. It is a great way to wind down every night before bed.
Random Thursday Thoughts
  • Some people never outgrow the need to be catty and rude.
  • I never get tired of seeing Colorado sunrises and sunsets.
  • I have a strange fascination with car wrecks., fires, etc.
  • People that talk a lot are trying to make themselves sound important and smart. The truely smart people are those who listen and learn. That being said, I need to talk less.
  • Children are the only ones that need to count to ten and calm down, in fact, I need to learn to do that more often.
  • I want to make a point of making the holidays special this year. Not the stressed out, frantic, grouchy season that we spend time with people out of obligation. Rather, I want to spend the time with the people that mean the most to us. And I want to spend that time doing things we all enjoy, shopping with my husband (he likes to shop for the kids),wrapping presents with the boys,baking with my Mom and Sisters, movie marathons with my inlaws, watching football with my dad, playing cards with friends, And I want to not feel guilty taking a full day to sit on the couch and watch holiday movies on the Hallmark Channel in my pajamas and slippers.
  • I have a great life.
