My brain is still on vacation....Catching up in bullet points.
--Thanks so much to Steve and Laurie for time away. What a blessing to pretty much do nothing for an entire week. A huge shout out as well to the "village" (literally) that made it possible for this mommy to farm out all four kids...and no one missed a homework assignment, soccer/lacrosse/gymnastics event.
--I would post pictures of us in Tennessee, but my husband is hoarding them on his zip drive. Here's one of Theresa (my sweet friend and UF apartment mate) who drove two hours to come and have lunch with me!
--We came home to find our renovations from the great flood done! It took about six hours on Monday, but I can almost put my hands on everything in my kitchen now. That is, until my kids attempt to put the dishes away...--How can you not love the Internet?!? Thelma and Joy, thanks for taking the time to drop me a note--it made my day! Joy--I'll be in Phoenix in January to sign books and speak and would love to see you then.
--I heart the 'net part two. Who would have thought that a bunch of thirty-somethings would be such Facebook addicts? (We only really keep accounts to monitor our kids, you know!!). I am loving catching up with old friends and got to have supper with my "little brother" from OT school and his lovely wife on Saturday. They live just a short drive away, and we're so looking forward to renewing our relationship with them!
--My girls are gone this week. PP is at her grandparents' in Sarasota. TQ just got on a plane (no longer on unaccompanied minor status--gulp. Am I the only overprotective wuss parent here?). She'll be getting the star treatment from her NY grandparents this week--a celebration of her 13th birthday.
--I'm thinking a lot about gratitude this week. Profound, considering the holiday,right? I'm sure there's a post in there somewhere...
--Looking for something less fluffy? I'm guest posting at my friend Christina's blog this week. Go say hi to her.

Heather, I do have to say you and my sis........LOOK AWESOME! Now if you imagine that picture of Theresa with about 20 more lbs (I am hedging on the low side..LOL) then you see me.....LOL. I am fluffier than she is.
Anyway, she had such an awesome time. It was so good for her to see you. She has a LOT of stress. And girl you are beautiful!
Looking forward to reading more blog stuff. Oh and I am on facebook too, just let me know how to look you up.......I am kind of new to it......LOL.
God bless my friend. Have a great week. Now I am off to feed my munchkins and resisting the temptation to just give them poptarts.........yeah I am tired.....LOL.
p.s.: Did you and her develop the "twin thang" and give each other a mental memo to wear black sweaters? That is too funny and cute. Yep, great minds think alike. Hugs to all.
Just stopping by to let you know about the Holiday Giveaway on my nativity blog.
