Blessed - That's me!

Finally, I'm feeling better, almost back to normal. Of course, now hubby has the cold. I hate that I passed it on to him, but honest, it wasn't on purpose.

The first day back at work wasn't too bad. There are lots of month end and year end things still to do, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Thank you Lord for that and for co-workers who kept up on the entry work so now I can do those reports that need to be done! It's so nice to have co-workers that go the extra distance for you and do things they don't have to just to help you out. God has been so good to me and given me good friends at work. Some are christian, some are not, but they are all good people.

Today, I'm just feeling that my life is so blessed. Again, I say thank you Lord!

Back to Work

Ok, I'm not ready, but it's time to go back to work. I have absolutely enjoyed being off these last almost 2 weeks. We have had the best time, but now it's time to get back to the other life. Mind you, I don't want to. But I have to.

You know our kids have a tendancy to think when they become adults they can do whatever they want. No one will tell them any more what to do. That's why they are in such a hurry to grow up. Well, I've got news for them. It doesn't work that way. Huh?!? You mean, I can't do whatever I want whenever I want? Uh! Nooo! If I could do what I want when I want, I certainly wouldn't be going to work today. I'd be back over in the bed either sleeping or reading a book. But real life calls and the bills need to be paid, so off I go to get ready for work.

But that's ok. I've had a bit of a respite and I know God will go with me and I will survive. hahaha

So onward and upward, I go off to face 2009 (well at least today!) One day at a time is all that's necessary! So have a great one everybody!!!!

Home

We made it home from vacation safely. Thank you Lord. We had a terrific time. Watch in the near future and I may post some more pics from the trip. Unfortunately I came home with a bad cold. I've pretty much just rested and read all day. I've not accomplished much of anything, except to take down the Christmas decorations. I was just in the livingroom and noticed there are still several things in there we missed. I'll get them tomorrow maybe and then get everything cleaned up and back in order.

I love traveling, but I love coming home too. To me there's no better place than being home with my family. Have a great weekend everyone!

Twilight - My Opinion

Okay, so I treid to read Twilight. Just couldn't get into it. I read up to about page 156, but still just couldn't connect with it. I enjoyed the movie and maybe that's the problem, because as I'm reading the book, I pretty much know everything that's going to happen, so why read it? Anyway, I had told you I was going to read it and give my opinion, but, this is it. I'm just bored with the book and I have too many other things I would rather be reading.

So, if you decide to read it, I hope you enjoy it, but it's just not my cup of tea. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll try again, but for now, I'm done with it.

Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg

Here are my Princess. They were in a shop in downtown Gatlinburg & I saw they crowns and talked them into posing. I have a picture of them with crowns on about 3-5 years ago. They look just as cute now as they did then in them!

Here are some night time shots from downtown Gatlinburg.

Karen, you asked for pics of where we are staying. Here's a couple in the lobby. They have a beautiful fireplace and I got the girls to pose by it.
