Black Friday...oh my!!

This cartoon pretty much sums it up for me this year!! I had all the best intentions to get out there and snag all the great deals that "black Friday" has to offer, but then my rational mind took over...(yes...just another my age is showing moments)...and I decided to stay in.

Can it be that all the years in Europe have actually served a purpose for me personally?? See...over there it was nearly impossible to have or obtain all the credit that you can get here...so I just got used to living in a certain way and learned that immediate gratification was not always the smartest thing to strive for. After all...it is only STUFF!!

I hope you all are enjoying the time off...I am!! LOL

In light of the greater good...Peace!!

Happy Turkey...

So it is officially Thanksgiving Day vacation!! Phew...we made it!! *giggles*

How cool was it to see Mr. Reed today!!! Too bad we never started the wave up there in the bleachers. Next time!! *grin*

I hope that you all do realize how much effort it took for Mr Reed not only to come visit but also overcoming the thought of the risk he was taking by simply exposing himself to all your wonderful kid germs. He loves you guys that much that he put doctor's orders on the back burner just to share your space!! How awesome is that??? See you guys DO ROCK...and I am not the only one who notices!!

I hope that you guys sleep late, rest, and totally enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday...remember that there is always something to be grateful for everyday...not just on November 28th...ya just gotta look! :))

Peace

happy sno-day

First snow day of the season and the coolest thing about it was that the kids in my house had to get up and go to school!! It was funny...for the shoe to be on the other foot for a change. I was reminded on more than one occasion this morning not to rub it in, but I just couldn't help it.

With the schedule shift tomorrow I get the pleasure of teaching first thing in the morning. Tomorrow will be my littlest one's big test...will she remember to shut the front door before getting on the bus??? LOL!!

Hope you all enjoyed your day off...see y'all tomorrow

my wish for you... *smiles*

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
