Tinkerbell and Heaven

So apparently Tinkerbell will be in Heaven--who knew?

I adore children--they have great wisdom.

Keeping busy

January is here and so is my fascination with all things organizational.  So in the past 24 hours I have:

• Completely cleaned Michael's room.  Organizing all his "momentos" into large plastic bins (favorite accessory). 

• Turned his closet into my children's library.  I truly had no idea how many children's books I had purchased over the years.  Now there they all are (little secret--in alphabetical order).

• Closed out all my 2010 financial information and started fresh for 2011 with Quicken.  Downloaded all my accounts and I'm all in financial order now.

• Started and completed a book I had wanted to read for forever.  I loved it, as I love all books relating to World War II.  I'd definitely reccomend it. 

• Went back to the gym after a too-long hiatus nursing my bad shoulder.  Still am not crazy about going to the gym, but we do what we have to do. 

Here's to a new year and starting fresh.

all I wanted for Christmas

 Everytime anyone asked me what I wanted for Christmas, all I said was that I wanted my kids home.  That is exactly what i got. 

But now my big kids have gone back to their homes, to resume their lives.  And although I know that they are doing exactly what they should be doing (and doing it very well) I miss them dearly.

 

 



2011

Welcome 2011!  2010 was really a pretty bad year, so I'm not all that sorry to see it go.  Sometimes it is hard to be optimistic.  But today, I pledge to believe that 2011 will be better.  There are great things in store for me and my family. 

Besides, today it was 11:11 am on 1/1/11. 

And I got to use my new pie bird, which I read about here, and felt that everyone needed (especially me). So I found it here and am very pleased with the results.
