I'm feeling...Very thankful today! My Cousin Christy, my Mom and my Uncle Lynn all had medical scares this last week, but all is well now, and I am overwhelmed with joy about that! Justin had a medical scare in October, but is doing well now too, so i am happy that my family is healthy once again! Some of my good friends had health scares this year too, and its got me thinking, we are getting older and need to start taking better care of ourselves now! So yes...an exercise and diet regimen is in our future!
I'm seeing...my daughter growing up, and becoming a beautiful young lady. I cant believe she will be in 5th grade next year...our last year together at RFLE, and then she will be heading down the mountain to middle school. That will be tough for me, but i know she will do well. She has changed so much over the last year, its amazing to watch! I love you kiddo! :)
I'm thinking...of the new year and all that that will bring. We are a bit concerned about Justin's business lately, but are hopeful that things will pick up in January. I am happy that I started a new job at Red Feather Lakes Elementary as the new Media/Tech teacher, and excited to see where that direction takes me. I am still the preschool teacher, but the new job helps fill my afternoons a few days a week, and that certainly has helped!
I'm appreciating...a warm roof over our head...a kitchen full of food...a stack of wood outside...and all the other things we sometimes forget to be appreciative for! Our financial situation is a little tight right now, so these comforts mean the world to me right now!
I'm cooking...a dump cake to take over to the party tonight. The recipe is so simple...a can of raspberry pie filling and a can of crushed pineapple, mixed together and then dumped into a pan. Top that off with a box of white cake mix...and then added an entire stick of butter pats on top, and cooked till golden bubbly at 350. Never tried it before...im not a sweets person, but hopefully everyone else will like it!
I'm planning...to head over to Sharons house tomorrow night for a "mom" sleepover! Four of us moms are heading over to her place to hang out and relax...no kids, just cocktails...and tasty food of course! Im looking forward to hanging out with the girls! The last time we were all together, we had a blast!
I'm reading...A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Im about 1/2 way through it and enjoying it, but it seems every time I sit down to read it, I get about 2 pages in and fall asleep. I joined a challenge on Goodreads, and read 21 of the 30 books i was hoping to get through this year. Not too shabby considering I only read 3 books in 2014! I still have an exciting stack of books awaiting me though, so I'd like to finish this one up and move on!
I'm wearing...fleece pajamas...been in them all day, how lame is that :) It's 5:30 pm though, and im getting ready to hop in the shower and head on over to Becks Automotive for a Shop Stomp! Justin and the gang are playing on New Years Eve again, so that should be fun! Im pretty sure Jordyn and I wont be staying till midnight though, and im fine with that. The pipes were frozen this morning, and i dont want to be gone too long, in case they try to do that again tonight. Its supposed to get into the negatives tonight!
I'm creating...alas, not much at the moment! I have a quilt I'm working on for someone, but I'm way behind on it! No other new projects in the works...just projects I'd like to be doing, but somehow cant keep up on this year! The new job at school has made me fall a bit behind on things, but I'm hoping by next year I will be in a groove and that will free up a bit more time for me.
I'm hearing...Jordyn shouting from upstairs about how excited she is with the new Minecraft updates on her computer! Ill be lucky to get her out of the house tonight now! She loves that game!
I'm enjoying...the new hockey set Jordyn got for Christmas! It makes skating on the ice so much more fun, and i love watching Jordyn play too.
I'm sharing...Some pictures that I took at the shop stomp tonight...enjoy!
May you all have a peaceful New Year filled with joy, love happiness, good health and prosperity in 2016!!!
