A little late

So I missed my Monday therapy session. I'm actually doing okay! I had a fantastic time yesterday at the movies with Sandy & Kaydi! You two are awesome. It was only fitting to watch NewMoon with the two people responsible for turning me into a Twi-hard. We should do that more often and make a day of it next time! Can't wait til Eclipse comes out in June. So mark your calenders ladies..we have a movie date!
I have accomplished so much on my "to do list". Yay me! I was able to clean the entire house ( including laundry)and put up all of Christmas decorations. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas..at least in my house. The kids were a big help and they are really proud of how all of their hard work paid off. I used to be very meticulous when it came to decorating for the holidays but finally realized that I had to stop being so anal and enjoy it for what it is. Now I LOVE letting the kids help and I must say I think I've rubbed off on them because they are actually picky about how they decorate..heeheee. Marissa has made special dinner requests for this week and since she helps me out around the house so much I am glad to oblige. Yesterday we had Fried chicken on the menu and today I am making enchiladas!!YUMMY!

Now to continue with my list of things I am thankful for

Today I am thankful for time and friendships. Time to spend with all the people who make a difference in my life. To all my family and friends because they help me be a better person just by being around them. They say that people come into your life for a reason , a season, or lifetime and I am grateful to all the people that have ever crossed my path.

New Moon is Here!!!!!!

I am SOOOO bummed that we are not going to the midnight showing tonight! I guess Monday will have to do. At least I know I'll in good company. I will just have to keep re-reading the book and watch Twilight again until then. I think I am more excited about going to see the movie than I was at the NKOTB concert. And that was very exciting. One more day until Thanksgiving break...woohoo! Oh well...til Monday!

Yet another Monday!

So I see that my blog is becoming my Monday therapy session. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. So much is going on that I just know this week is going to fly by. I spent the evening yesterday working on my turkey for school. I will have to take a picture for all to see. I am quite fond of it!

*The cowboys lost..boo! It's okay though because the Eagles lost too, so we are still in first place

for now. We'll see how they do against the Redskins next.

*Is it just me or is anyone else ready to get all the holiday decor out and get the tree and all the trimmings up? I can't wait anymore! I think I'll start slowly this week and have it all done by

Sunday. Haven't started any Christmas shopping but that will have to come later.

* Bloodwork coming up on Wednesday to make sure we are all clear for surgery on 12/09/09 so hopefully all will be great and we can move along. Need to make sure I have all my shopping done before then since I won't be able to drive! Gotta make a checklist to make sure I do all that needs to be done before then. UGH!

* Making my first ever caldo de pollo and it smells sooooo good! I just hope it tastes as good as it smells. Taking it with me for lunch tomorrow.

I like the giving thanks that some of my other friends are doing so on that note I thought I would add my own list for today and continue until Thanksgiving day.

Today I am thankful for my husband and my children who are all I live for! I am thankful for my mom and dad who have helped me to appreciate every day for what it is..a blessing from God! I am thankful for the my in-laws who go above and beyond to take care of me and my family! I am also thankful that I have such an awesome job that I absolutely love to wake up and go to every morning. I have had enough experience in the past where I would literally sit and watch the clock not move fast enough for me to get out of there, that working here is truly a blessing! I am thankful for such a great group of coworkers that I am happy to call friends!

Okay so before I get all teary eyed , (since I'm so emotional lately) I will continue my list at a later time.

Monday, Monday

When it's a Monday after the Cowboys defeat the Eagles, you know it's gonna be good. Work was great. I just love those kiddos! Never a dull moment that's for sure. Since the Cowboys did BEAT the Eagles it seemed only fitting to take in some cowboys action this evening. My brother told me that KRLD was doing a live remote from Dave & Buster's and guess who the special guest was...Myles Austin, who just happened to score the winning touchdown last night. We made it a family affair and my brother was there with his family , my sis, his brother -in -law, etc. It wasn't too crowded and my kids thought it was awesome since they had never been there before. All in all a pretty good night with some good pics.

TGIF

I received shot # 3 today and have bloodwork in two weeks to make sure I am clear for surgery. woohoo! I just hope that all the bloodwork comes back okay and we can get this over with already. I have faith that all will be well and this will soon be over.
The last two days of work were awesome. The kids are so great! They say the darnedest things sometimes. You can't help but laugh and smile. We read the story "The Beastly Feast" the other day and then had the students draw a picture of what they would like to bring to a class feast. They must have really taken the assignment to heart because the next day some of the kids showed up with bags of snacks like grapes, carrots, and popcorn. When asked what it was for their replies were " It's for our feast". How cute is that? I love being around 4 year olds all day!

Believe in Him!

It's Wednesday! YAY! I am so ready for this week to be over. While I'm at it let's just get next week over with too! I happened to be praying for guidance and understanding and for hope and faith and lo and behold the Lord has spoken and led me to Psalm 143 which I read and reread fighting the despair in my heart. I know now that He has a plan and I must trust in Him no matter what. A song came to mind that I had not heard in a long while and I can't get it out of my head it goes...Open the eyes to my heart, Lord..Open the eyes to my heart..I want to see you..I want to see you.
I believe all things will end up as is His will, I just have to pray to remember to have faith in Him. Things could always be worse, right?
Show me the path I should walk, for to you I entrust my life.

Just another manic Monday

Wish it were Sunday...cause that's my fun day...my I don't have to run day. That's my day in a nutshell. Actually we had a pretty great weekend. Spent Halloween with awesome friends and celebrated my baby boy's 5th birthday at Grandma's with the family. Saturday we all got dressed up and went trick or treating with friends. Marissa was an angel, Marcus was the red Power Ranger (his fave), Mario was an 80's hair metal rocker, and I was an Oreo cookie. Yes..an Oreo. We had a blast and I will have to post pics soon. Sunday my son turned 5 and Grandma wanted to have a cookout for him which was fine by me. We are going to try to have a party for him and his friends in a couple weeks with pony rides(through friend of friend), bounce house and of course...the pinata. Today work was great. About drove myself crazy trying to figure out what to wear to work tomorrow for 50's day but I think I found a winner. I got home and felt this sudden urge to rearrange the living room, put away Halloween decor, and prepare the spot for the Christmas tree which will be going up in the next 2-3 weeks. I figure I better go ahead and prepare now so that I can enjoy it while I am at home during my recovery period after surgery. I go in for my last shot this Friday and then bloodwork to make sure my white blood cells are up to go ahead with surgery. I can't wait for this to be over. I have this awful feeling that recovery is not going to be as easy as I would like it to be. It's going to be hard to not do anything like cooking, cleaning, and the like. I have some good books ready for reading to help the time go by. Time for bedtime stories and bed..so this rambling session has to end for today,
