Oh Jolly Man in the Red Suit.....

Dear Santa,

My wish this year is both personal and for the world.  First, I want my kids to be happy and healthy as well as successful in their education.  Second, I would love to see less hurt, losses, and a lot more love all around.  I have had a lot of friends this year lose those they love, and have suffered loss of jobs, and other forms of heartache.  We need more brotherhood/sisterhood in this world, and I pray that we can all gain this in the coming year.

Now, onto my personal list.....

My van need to be detailed inside and out for two very important reasons....oh I love my kiddos lol

i just absolutely LOVE this type of dining table.  

I need a new microwave stand to house my Keurig (sorry Sara) and K-Cups

But, more practical and convenient, I would like gift cards to the following establishments:

Target, Walmart, Olive Garden, Amazon (kindle), and famous footwear.

Now for my Doctor items....I am a hoodie junkie, so of course i NEED a Doctor Who Hoodie

My Doctor is 10 (David Tennent) and this iPhone 4s case would be bloody brilliant to have.

And of course just about anything 10 would be ideal.

With that, I bid you all a great day, and a wonderful upcoming Holiday season.

Until Laterz,

My Other Job

Not only am I a part time employee at a big box hardware store, but I am also a Gold Canyon Home Fragrances Consultant.  It is the holiday time here at GC, and SO many yummy smells, and accessories for your home to decorate with.  You can visit my website here and window shop or even shop away.  Feel free to check out the sales tab as well as the gone but not forgotten section.

So, now let me tell you about a very cool opportunity for you to get a 26oz Fresh Orange Gold Canyon double wick candle.  It is very easy to enter.  Go to my sister's page, and follow Fluffimama and enter in the provided section.  She is a great mom, crafter, idea extravagant, and a lover of Doctor 10 (swoon).

Enjoy both links, and I hope that you win.

The Small Wonders That Mean A Lot

I have been wondering for a week or so now if Ginger has diabetes or not.  It does run in the family on both sides.  More closely..her father has it.  Her symptoms are as follows:

Sweet breath

when she drinks, it is a lot

gets moody, and moody about being moody (could be a ginger thing too)

she does have blah moments too on a daily basis.

While at the local high school football game this evening, I ran into our family doctor (which was a HUGE relief).  I told him my concern, and he does not think that she has it.  He stated that if she did, she would be pretty sickly looking.  I do trust him, but I pray harder that he is correct.  Monday is our day to go in and get her well child check up, and to test for diabetes.  I know it is not the end of the world if she does, but for her not to have it would be a HUGE blessing.  

I did tell Ginger though this evening my concern for her.  She took it extremely well.  Of course, she hopes that she does not have it because she doesn't want to have to test her blood like her dad.  One day at a time, and even one moment at a time.  One more hurdle that I know we can get over.

Until Laterz,

Just Thoughts

They say that your heart is an open book, live and let live.  Well, something like that LOL.  Anywho, my dream last night was about being back with some peeps that I love with all of my heart and that I miss on a daily basis.  One of which has had my heart for longer than should be.  I see them every year for a short time, and then I wait eight whole months for their return again.  I know the time is ticking in when I will not see them anymore.  So, I try to live and let live, but it is not without struggle.

Secondly, here I sit with a degree in Early Childhood Education, and no job in that field to show for it.  My current job has me on a roller coaster of hours and no REAL answer as to why it is that way.  I look for work in my degree, and everything is full thus far.  I long to work with children, especially those with autism, (working on my bachelor's degree for that), and to feel fulfilled in life.  The feeling as I was going to punch out for the day was the feeling that my time was limited there.  Not because of getting let go, but because I feel that it is my time to get out of there.  I pray that I am right about those feelings.  Being trapped in a position that you know is not what you are supposed to be doing is not fun.

So, now I sit here and cry before Mr. Twister gets home from school, since I do not want to worry him about mom any more than he already does.

Until Laterz,
