Saturday Sunshine

We had a lot of fun at the park on Saturday afternoon. Just us girls. I would love more afternoons like that, but I think our days of not-cold weather are numbered. It is mid-November after all!

What did you do for fun this weekend?

Not Me Monday

I totally didn't have a Not Me Monday... nope! But here are some thoughts that might have occurred to me, if I had actually had a Not Me Monday.

• I would never take secret pleasure and enjoyment in listening to my daughters' Hannah Montana songs while in the car alone. Nope, would not rock out to Rock Star on the interstate at 70mph. No, only while in the car with the kids....
• I would never consider taking the day off on Thursday and Friday last week just because I'm not feeling well now. I'd use the time to go to the doctor of course, but wouldn't make myself a 5 day weekend (Veteran's Day, Thurs, Fri, etc) just for that.... No, not me!
• I also wouldn't plan my lessons through Thanksgiving so I can have nothing to do daily and can hang out in my pajamas. No, not me. This teacher never stops...

Those are some Not Me Mondays that I'd never do (or at least never admit to!)

This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. MckMama has been a little too busy this week though. Her precious baby boy is in Boston having surgery right now. Something I've definitely done today and all last week was pray for them. Go check on them and send them prayers and hugs!

Wordless Wednesday

Include Isaiah and his family in your prayers tonight. Details tomorrow, maybe.

Cool!

You may have noticed that this week Google was helping celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street. At the link below, you can see all the logos that were used (different ones in different countries.) Also, there are links for other special days from October and through December that Google has recognized. There are even archives to see!

Very interesting, especially ones celebrating things from other countries. I could see using these to inspire some research projects.

What is your favorite? Can you guess which one is mine?

Enjoy the link! (http://www.google.com/logos/)

Oops...

I really enjoyed NaBloPoMo last year. It got me into a blogging groove. I had the cruise to post about. I completely didn't tune in to the idea this month! So, I've missed 7 days... but from here on out, I'll post daily. Today, a summary of some things going though my brain.

• What makes a good parent?
• What makes an effective parent? (Is there such a thing?)
• What do you do when you are starting to feel like your spouse isn't on the same parenting page anymore?
• How do you deal with an incredibly brilliant kid who has learned to manipulate one parent against the other?

Hopefully in the next few days, I can give my input. I'm really bothered by these questions and the path my brain wants to take...

Have a great Monday! And enjoy what is left of Sunday night too!

Very funny!

Not me! Monday

This is my first Not Me Monday post. This weekend had several Not Me! moments. For example....

• I would NEVER go camping, arrive late in the evening when it was dark, and then fall and sprain my ankle within 10 minutes of arrival... Nope, not I said the fly!
• I wouldn't dare come home on a Monday afternoon at 4pm and wonder if it was too early for one of these:

Mike's Hard Pomegranate Punch

This might possibly be a savior for some other hard working mama - but not me said the flea.

Go check out some other Not Me Mondays over at MckMama's blog. She created this and it sure is fun... especially if you are like me and haven't done anything! :)
