Social Sunday on a Tuesday

Did you ever sleepwalk as a child?

I don't think so, but Katie did when she was little and that was just strange.

Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house?

No way! My mom did think I was a boring teenager though and did show me a way to sneak out of my room. I then asked her why I couldn't just go out the door if she really didn't seem to mind. We agreed that was a safer way then jumping off of the roof.

Did you have any imaginary friends?

I was the only child at home because my brother was 14 years older than me. So yes, I think I had an entire boat load of imaginary friends.

Did you ever go toilet papering?

No, my mom would have killed me!!!! She did have her boundaries for bad behavior.

Did you ever sneak TV shows you weren't allowed to watch?

I had cable in my room and was definitely a room dweller. I don't think my parents even knew what I watched.

Just for the record. I was a pretty good kid which is why I probably did not have very many rules. If I would have pushed the envelope my Drill Sargent father and not to be messed with mother would have stepped in. Knowing this alone, kept me on the straight and narrow.

Thank you God for amazing parents :)

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with The Simple Woman's Blog for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow. Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important. We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off. Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again. I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects. My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap? Someone who drinks perfume? This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening? Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood? I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods? Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night? Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested? I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

We have developed many traditions for our family over the years. We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater. Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a snowy evening, attend the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program. We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love. My favorite tradition? Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa. I don't know how it started but...
