Occasionally people will ask me for a recipe, or what not, that I am sure I have...and then I start hunting. And then I remember I have a blog. I can usually find exactly which post I talked about whatever in, and can share it.
That's lame though- I need a better way to keep track! I have files on my computer, and recipes jotted in notebooks, and craft orders in another notebook, and thoughts about J's hearing loss in another. I need a better way to be organized. I haven't figured it out though. I'm still pretty old school with pen to paper note taking- I was lucky enough to find an amazing advocate to help me negotiate J's IEP. I'm totally on the ball with special ed, but not so much when it comes to hearing loss- I am at a 'loss' there. This woman is incredible, and I am so damn lucky to be working with her. The district may not know what hit them, but I'm a mama bear- never underestimate the lengths I will go to in order to advocate for my kids.
This week will bring about a new president. I didn't capitalize for a reason, as he's not my president, and never will be. I'm waiting for that dark black cloud to descend upon the world at noon on January 20th.
Aside from that, the new year is bringing new recipes, new vigor for life, and a new approach to purging crap from my house- if I don't need it, it's free, come and get it. Ironically I wanted to ditch all of my wedding crystal, and a neighbor had the same style and had broken hers- she picked it all up today and I was thrilled. Lamps are also a hot commodity- along with the bathroom renovations I finally had recessed lighting put into the family and dining rooms, as well as overhead lighting in all of the bedrooms, so what the heck do I need with all of those standing lamps? I can't get rid of puzzles and DVD's for anything, but lamps??? It was fast!
I'm just running my mouth at the moment, and have nothing spectacular or earth shattering to share. However, I will share the prayer that caught my heart from church this morning...
In times of light and times of darkness
May this small flame
Kindle what is good
In us and in the world.
