Today I'm feeling alive again, now that its my first day back driving. I had a hair appointment so I really feel like a new person today.

Nic's class is having a Thanksgiving lunch at his school tomorrow and each family has to bring a part of a Thanksgving meal that they listed. I thought I would be creative and pick something on there list and bring turkey cookies. That's where I went to far! I had to say I would bring in turkey cookies, "What was I thinking"? So today I left for my hair appointment with my list of ingredients for my cookies. It's a rainy day and wanted to get home to show Jack my new hair dew without getting wet ...but went running from store to store to find items for the cookies. After 3 stores and flat hair later, I get home where Nic is waiting patiently to make the cookies. I tried to let him do most of it and they are not bad for a 5yr old baker. Still I think, why couldn't I just have bought premade holiday cookies? That's how I operate...always doing things the hard way.

I'm almost back! I was down with strep-throat..and I mean down. I haven't had that one since I was like 10. This was worse than the flu. Thank goodness Jack was around for the kids, again another reason why it was so worth the move so I could have his help when needed or I would have been solo and not sure how. Hoping this weekend I'm back at 100% so I can enjoy the things I take for grantid. All I've been wanting was to have some "me" time and have no one talk and just hang out and watch some movies, well I got all that. I was breaking down not being able to talk to Jack and the kids, if I watched one more episode of Oprah.. let me tell you. Funny how things work like that. I guess you have to get taken down once in awhile so you can really see how lucky you are in life.

Wow, my progress today was adding this background flare. Im still laughing that Im becoming a blogger and not sure who really is going to be intrested in anything I have to say. Im sure I will find someone out there that will not roll there eyes at the thought reading a blog. Today is the first day Im taking Nic out of school early since I have to be so careful now with his days in the school system. The gang is headed for a trip to visit Hudson for his birthday in Atlanta so we are excited to see our cousins but not so much of the drive, thank goodness for the DVD player. Cassidy is on my lap trying to push buttons along with me so I guess this is my time I need to check out.

Thought I would put in my two sence worth today and see how long I can keep this up. Im sure the days will get longer apart from post to post. My dad left today and the kids are pretty sad, it breaks our heart to miss family and friends so much. We are counting down the days until we go home so it wasnt that bad to say good bye. Cassidy went to the airport with me and we walked my dad to the gate which turned out to be sad when he walked on the plane she was screaming, "Grandpa, Grandpa" I have tears just thinking of it but glad to see how much the kids love him. I will try to figure out how to add pictures and designs for my next trip to the blogger so until then take care. Remember to smile!

Today Im just trying to figure this whole blogging thing out. I think I went on this site a dozen times to try to start with whatever Im suppose to start with. I guess Im getting a little further everyday, today Im actually writting but not sure where it is going to show up so we will see. I have the kids acting crazy around me so not sure if my words are actually coming out what Im thinking. Nic and Cas are playing dress up and I should be running for a camera because its actually pretty funny. Nic is dressed like a train/business man and Cassidy is a princess/grocery shopper. My dad is here visiting and just waiting for Jack and him to get back from errands which not sure what they were doing. All of us went to the train museum yesterday and thought it was really neat. I got a lot of great pictures with my dad and the kids to go in the memory book. Its been nice having him here the kids will miss him when he leaves. Thanks for reading it and we will do more soon.
