Food 4 Thought Friday! 

A little feast without the calories!!    I copied the questions from Jodi, Check out her answers here


Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
   
Breakfast ~What made you get out of bed today?
My stupid alarm clock!  That dang clock keeps going off at 3:30 a.m.  Yes, it is true that I set it for that time so that I can be up and awake and look somewhat presentable when I arrive at work, but I still vent my anger at the clock every morning.  It should illegal to sound so obnoxious so early in the morning!  I am REALLY looking forward to my new job because I don't think I will need to get up that early any more.  Yahoo! 

Lunch ~ What was something that inspired you this week? 
My sister, she has recently achieved 60 days of sobriety and she is embracing her new life with vigor.  Even though she still has down times and struggles, she is just so happy and upbeat.  She is fun to be with.  I am very proud of her.  It is amazing that she was able to remove the poisons that were the focus of her life before.

Dinner ~ Name a light-bulb moment this week. 
One of the reasons that I love teaching is related to those light-bulb moments when some concept finally makes sense.  You can literally see the light come in on their eyes.  I see it happen frequently as the students learn more and more about the art of nursing.

 I personally had a light-bulb moment at work this week - but honestly the light came on - stayed long enough for me to figure something out - and then must have burned out because I cannot remember what it was!  (The story of my life)

Midnight Snack ~ What are you most looking forward to right now?
I am very excited to start my new job - and terrified at the same time.  I find myself studying miscellaneous teaching techniques and approaches in order to prepare - however, I really don't know what to study.  I think I am just anxious to get started so that I can quit wondering what it will be like!

 Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  
SLEEP!  I feel like I could sleep for a week straight!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile.

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
