my top 3

I love Twitter. I tweet about lots of random things ~ silly, life, fun, sad, obnoxious and boring (to name a few). I also enjoy attending Twitter parties and chatting with friends there, too. I noticed some of those said friends had this tweet, "I generated my #TweetCloud...". It looked like fun so I decided to try it.

Out of a month of "tweets", my top 3 words used were love, thanks and time. Nice, huh? I present to you my tweet cloud:

helping mommy

The kids love to help me decorate. Whether it's hanging all of the ornaments super low and clumped together on the tree or playing with tinsel, they are all about helping. Here, see them helping?




















Pictures of the tree to follow in a separate post. My camera batteries died and I'm all out of replacements.

thankful - my top 10

Thank Goodness! Thursdays

There are so many things to be thankful for today (and every day for that matter). My list (in no particular order):

1. THE HUSBAND. Cause he's amazing...hard working, dedicated, kind.

2. THE KIDS. Their laughter, their hugs and kisses. Just everything about them. So blessed.

3. FAMILY. No further explanation needed.

4. TARGET. Ok, so there's no Super Target here but I can at least get to a Target in 30 minutes or so. Very thankful for that.

5. LOCATION. We are HOME for Thanksgiving this year. We get to see BOTH sides of the family between Thursday and Friday.

6. STARBUCKS. Yummy.

7. DIET COKE. It makes me happy, yo.

8. MY BED. It's oh-so-comfy.

9. MY SENSES. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. Although there are some things I'd rather not see, hear, touch, taste or smell, I'm blessed to be able to do all of them.

10. HEALTH. No life-threatening diseases, no horrible illnesses. We're all home and we're all well.

Happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget to count your blessings!

happy cake

Happy. She adds that adjective to a lot of things these days - happy cake, happy cows, happy cookies. Happy.

random

Another week has come and gone and looking back I have no idea where it went.

I don't like Twitter's new re-tweet function cause I can't add comments to it.

My daughter colored on my dining room chair not once but twice. With me sitting next to her completely oblivious. Not good.

My son starts wrestling practice next week. He says he wants to do it. We'll see. I'm still not sure he gets it.

Is it really Thanksgiving next week???

Does that mean Christmas is really next month???

Speaking of Christmas, my father is completely done shopping for my mom. Thanks to me. You're welcome, Pop.

I plan to upgrade to the Blackberry Storm 2 sometime before the end of the year. I just hope I can get used to and actually LIKE the whole touch screen thing.

Karissa has started prefacing things with happy - i.e. happy cake, happy cows, etc.

I had the school counselor talk to my son about his sudden fears of being left, the dark, etc. I have been informed that everything he's going through is normal and that Dave and I are doing what we need to do to help him through this phase. Someone remind me of this at 3:00 AM when I wake up with a 60 pound little boy sleeping sideways in my bed with his feet in my back.

I have daydreams of doing NOTHING and loving every stinking minute of it.

I need coffee. Starbucks would be perfect.

Every time I think I'm caught up with work my boss calls, texts or emails me.

The house in Minnesota is still on the market. Still no offers. Yet, according to the realtor, it's showing well and getting positive feedback. What the heck?

My van is acting up AGAIN (read: still). If I had the money I'd so trade it in for something else. It's annoying me. And scaring me. No one likes to be driving down the interstate at 70 MPH in the fog and rain to have their vehicle sputtering, shakin and misfiring with the engine light flashing.

And with that, my phone just reminded me that I need to make a call for my boss. Now. I'm out.

headache-free

After dealing with a headache for over 48 hours straight (with intermittent periods of a lighter, dull ache), I am finally headache-free!!! It started as a migraine Sunday evening and I now have relief. Let's all do a happy dance for Mommy, mmm'kay?
