Thanksgiving is already just about a week away...like a snow ball going down hill, gathering more momentum and snow layers as it goes...well, that is what my life feels like right now. Like I am on auto pilot and not really present. The work days at school are merely a blurr. I try to get things done around the house with my 3-4 hours after work and before bed...but I get side tracked, or there is just too much to do and I get overwhelmed.
I am so looking forward to having a couple days off for Thanksgiving to just relax and enjoy being with family. I am hoping to make it a no fuss relax and have fun day. We have so very much to be Thankful for and I Thank God for his abundance of Blessings.
God Bless, Take a Deep Breath and remember Every breath is truely a gift!

Home for the Holidays
I am so enjoying my day off! The weather is gorgeous, although I have not been out yet, the sunshining in the windows is lifting my spirits and encouraging me along on my tasks at hand.
The tasks list is getting shorter and shorter as I zoom through them one at a time. All that is left is finishing two batches of Christmas cookies for the bazaar at church on Saturday, and finishing straightening out my closet with some purging of the summer and "what were you thinking?" items.
I might even sneak a nap in. The more I can get done now the better it will be next weekend, when both Al's parents and my Mom arrive for the weekend. I want to really enjoy the holidays this year and not get stressed out. We are having a small Thanksgiving dinner here with Our oldest son, Scott, his wife, Angie, and those adorable grandgirls, Bella & Kate.
Their names together are so sweet like a upper class store that sells exclusive high end merchandise with delcious chocolate and other culinary sweets... I bought this at Bella & Kate's, see? doesn't it have just the sweetest tone to it?
Anyway, We have Al's Birthday on the 21st, then Tim's on the 23, followed by Thanksgiving....a busy month for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way....I am truely Thankful, for all the abundant blessings I've been given.

call me Sleeping beauty....just don't wake me up
One of the perks of being a para in the jr high, is late start days like today. I do not have to start work till almost 10 this morning. So I why am I up at 6:30am....that is a good question, the answer is simple too. I was so tired last night I went to bed at 8pm. This is probably not a good habit to get into.
