Monday Musings

The last Monday of March is here and these are the things currently on my mind.

1) I am really getting annoyed with my job. It is exhausting to feel like you have to defend yourself and cover your butt every day. I have been looking but it is slim pickings out there.

2)  Preston told me today that he is bored. This is not looking good that 1/2 a day into sprig break he is bored already.

3) I did take tomorrow afternoon off and he decided that he wants to go bowling. I am not sure if Clark will join us or not.

Here are the pictures for the week.

Here is the picture from when I was the mystery reader for Preston's class.

Friday Funnies

I hope that you all have a great last weekend of March.

Three on Thursday

As this last full week of March comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.

1) That my motivation is coming back with the warmer weather and more light at the end of the day.

2) That (knock on wood) it appears that my hubby's car is finally fixed.

3) That spring break is next week!

Monday Musings

As this last full week of March begins these are the things currently on my mind.

1) Well we are back to cold temps and snow flurries again. I am so ready for spring already.

2) I went to the doctor today and she is very happy with my progress with my sugars, My A1C in June was 11.1 and when I had my blood drawn last week it was down to 5.8. 

3) Preston has started practicing his ready by reading books to Alexa. It is actually pretty cute to hear him asking her if she like the story when he is done.

Here are the pictures for the week.

On St. Patrick's Day the kids did a sorting exercise using Lucky Charms. I think they were ore excited about eating the marshmallows at the end.

Friday Funnies

I hope that you all have a fun and relaxing weekend.

Three on Thursday

As another week comes to an end these are the things that I am currently thankful for.

1) March Madness starts today!

2) Our temps are once again getting warmer. I was able to go out today with just my zip up hoodie on.

3) That there is only 1 week left until the boys are on spring break.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

I am once again joining in on the Hodgepodge.

1. St. Patrick's Day lands on March 17th. Do you believe in luck? Are there things you do thinking they'll  bring good luck or  things you avoid because they're considered bad luck? 

I do believe in luck but I also feel that we can do things to approve our luck. I do tend to knock on wood and won't open an umbrella inside.

2. Forest-lime-sage-mint-olive-emerald...what's your favorite shade of green? 

I like a dark forest green and emerald green as well.

3. In Ireland the meal on this day is often a hearty beef or lamb stew served with colcannon (mashed potato mixed with cabbage and leeks). In the US corned beef and cabbage is the more typical St. Patty's Day meal. Will you/did you mark the day with one of these dishes? Baked-fried-roasted-mashed...what's your favorite way to eat a potato?

I was planning on making Irish stew and soda bread but I was not up to cooking yesterday so that didn't happen. I love potatoes and eat them any way. Baked potatoes are not my favorite but I will eat it if served.

4. What color of the rainbow best represents your personality/mood today? Tell us why.

I am going to say blue not because I am sad but because I am calm and I have always heard that blue is a calming color.

5. Which 'lucky' quote resonates with you. Elaborate. 

 'Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.' E.B. White 

'Diligence is the mother of good luck." Benjamin Franklin 

'Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.' Seneca 

'Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.' Ralph Waldo Emerson 

I would say the Seneca quote. I think this best sums up my belief that luck exists but that we can always do things to improve it in our lives.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I was able to be a mystery reader in Preston's class today. It was fun and the kids were asking my hilarious questions after. Nothing about the book I read of course but things like my favorite shoes and if I play chess.
