Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
I have so many things to be grateful for in my life.
I am grateful for my children, Chaz and Breezy. They never cease to amaze me. Caring, loving, helpful, kind. Their relationship has changed so much over the years. They stick up for each other.
I am grateful for my Father God. He sent his son, Jesus to die for me on a cross to set me free. He always loves me.
I am grateful for my family. While we don't always see eye to eye, we're still there for each other. Still love each other.
I am grateful for incredible friends. Friends from work, church, the Navy. Sounding boards. Godly counsel.
There's just so much to be grateful for. A roof over our heads, vehicles to get to work and church with, a job. An awesome church with a pastor who cares and great people.
May your Thanksgiving be incredible.

Yah!
I'm so excited! I was selected by Jen of Word Art World to be part of her Creative Team! Jen makes awesome word art! She's got word art for nearly anything!
We had a little excitement at school last night while I was at Breezy's soccer game. Someone set a garbage can on fire. The garbage can was on the breezeway of one of the buildings. One minute, there was a small puff of white smoke and then it was a little darker. I couldn't figure out what it was. AND then, there was the heavier puff of dark smoke and I realized what it was. I ran over to where smoke was coming from as did a couple co-workers. 911 was called by someone who was nearer where the fire was. A student put out the fire with a water hose that wasn't far from the garbage can. He had seen the smoke from the front of the building and ran to the fire. He did an amazing job!
Today was "Friday" at school. How cool is that? Yesterday was Monday and today was Friday. We are off the next five days. Going to spend a little time with my Mom, her husband, my sister, nephews, and possibly my brother over the next few days. It's going to be good.

Journaling reads: "Austin, Chase, Brianne, and Tyler in front of Bass Pro’s huge Christmas Tree. We had so much fun there on that I think it should be an early Christmas tradition!"
These are my first layouts for Jen. I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to create for her! And it gives me extra incentive to scrap my own special events with my children.
In the case I don't make it back by before Thanksgiving, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with friends and family. Take time to remember those far away from home serving their country.

Journaling reads: "I nearly missed the incredible Animal Kingdom parade the day I was there. On my way to he gate to meet up with one of the kids and leave, I got STUCK on the wrong side
of the ropes. Best time I have ever had being on the WRONG side of anything. The costumes were AMAZING!!! The detail in each one was like nothing I had ever seen, including at Disney. The “floats” were sort of primative in construction and yet at the same time beautifully detailed.
The joy on the face of each of the parade participants above was so obvious. I loved it! This parade is without a doubt one of my FAVORITE memories at Disney ever!"
Journaling reads: Phillies themed birthday party invitations and cake were a great start to begin Austin

Journaling reads: "Arranging presents under the Christmas tree each year is one of my favorite things to do on Christmas eve. You know, getting the presents “just so” so that when the kids see the tree in the morning there is the ahhhhhhh” moment. Christmas 2009 may be the last year that we have presents under the tree. 2010 will have a small gift in the stocking and cash. I will miss these days."

Very long weekend began today. Tomorrow, Chaz, Breezy and I will head to Alabama for Thanksgiving. Friday we will go to my other sister's home for the Iron Bowl.
Things I forgot the other day...
Got a new laptop. It's a Toshiba and it's powerful. I just need to find the last graphic program disk to have all my graphic programs on it.
Work has been incredibly busy. Saw nearly 150 kids total in the last 2 days alone! I think last month set the all time record for visits to the clinic. Over 2000!!!!! Yikes!
Chaz and Breezy are both playing soccer. Last night's game with Chaz was nerve wracking. I cannot believe how poor the sportsmanship was and I wasn't particularly impressed with the ref either. I'm usually all for playing hard. But I'm of the opinion now that every now and again, the head of the referees should come watch a game unannounced so he/she can observe the calls being made on the field.
Spent an hour of Sunday evening at my 4th favorite place.... the ER with Chaz. We thought he broke his right thumb. Fortunately it's only sprained.
Almost time for me to go get the kids from youth. Have a marvelous Thanksgiving.
Today I am grateful for family, friends, my church, a job, a vehicle, a laptop, and the kids' Christmas shopping being done! I am grateful that God loves me no matter what.

Happy Thanksgiving
Short week. Only two days of work. Finished up. Completed the monthly report for November that I will email before leaving Martellis.
Laundry is done. Chaz and Breezy are cleaning the kitchen. Groceries are purchased.
I just need to pack my clothes and the car and we are ready to go.
To the few who come by, Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be full of blessings!

etsy and beads
I am surfing etsy again. When I found this necklace, it made me smile. Just fun. Something a little out of the ordinary.
And it reminded me that when I make someone something or make something to sale, I want the person to smile when they see the piece of jewelry and enjoy wearing it. Or enjoy giving it as a gift.
Last night and earlier today, I made an amazonite necklace, bracelet, and earrings. I wore the necklace to church and a lady offered to buy it. Then asked if I would make earrings and a bracelet to go with it. (I'll post a picture later.)
I can now say I've made my first pair of earrings and I'm thinking I need to make more. I've been wearing the same pair of post type earrings for months. Maybe it's time to switch to something different.
We are out of school this week. The kids will stay home tomorrow while I come clean up in the bookstore/tape store at church and train 2 new people to work in it. Yah! Volunteers! We needed someone new to help. :o)
We are also really looking forward to going to my sister's and Mom's over the break. Thanksgiving will be at Mom's and we'll spend two nights at my sister's.
Time to go. My son is starving again. Can't keep him fed. *sigh*

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was good. We spent it at my mother's. Pretty much everything was cooked before we got there and a little reheating needed.
Two of my sisters, one brother, one brother-in-law, and 2 nephews along with my Mom, her husband, myself, Talia and Skif.
It was really good to see my brother. I've now seen him twice in one week. That's more than I've seen him in the previous 6 months!!!
We got to play a few rounds of 313. And much talking going on.
Afterwards, my sister went to my brother's to pick up some slides and a slide projector that had belonged to my Daddy.
We spent about 4 hours going through all the slides. It was good to see these pictures. After my Daddy passed away, a lot of things like pictures seemed to have vanished. Most of the slides were from 81-early 83. There were pictures of my Pass-In-Review from bootcamp. Pictures of my first ex and I out shooting skeet. I was about the size of a pencil back then. There were also pictures of when I was a year old and my parents lived upstairs from the funeral home that my Dad worked in.
I told a friend about the pictures on Friday and she asked if I had gotten prayer for that. I said what? I never thought about the fact we lived above a funeral home for a couple years after I was born. Maybe it is something I need to look into. She also asked if my Dad was bi-polar. I have no idea. I know he was never the same man after my uncle was shot and killed in 1979.
Things to think on and pray over.
