When I got home from my trip, I found at least half dozen of these sweet little notes all around the house. My kindergartner had a very difficult time having me away : (

I wish....
I wish I felt as serne as this picture looks!! I can't believe I'm heading home already. I am worried sick about my father and his up hill climb!
I just wish I could put my home life on hold, so I could see this all the way through!
To be there for him when he really wakes up.
For my step mom who is refusing to leave the hospital "until he does".
To stay on top of the staff and make sure they take good care of my dad!!!
Ugh! I wish I wasn't a nurse.
I wish I didn't know all the things that could go wrong.
I wish this week was over already!!

I can't even put into words the relief I have knowing my father's surgery was a success!! I know he has a long road to recovery, but he is strong and has so many of us pulling for him!! My step mother gave each of us who was at the hospital one of these little hearts and asked us to "hold it close". It has been in my pocket ever since and will stay there until my father is discharged home, safe and sound. Even though he is miles away, this little heart, some how, makes me feel closer to him.

I'm a spiritual person, but I'll be honest...I don't get to church very often. On this day, it seemed like a good idea!! Tomorrow at 8:00 A.M. my father is going in for open heart surgery.

I was not at all psyched to have to be jumping on one of these, just 24 hours after hearing the horrible news about the crash in Bflo.

My youngest daughter is four and has already decide when she gets "big" she wants to work at Charlotte's Tea Room. She thinks she'll be able to "eat dessert all day and wear pretty aprons". My kind of job!! It's my favorite place to take my chickadees for special occasions. We dress up and act like Fancy Nancy.

I can't help but want to drop everything and create when I open up a lovely Studio Calico kit! Too bad this one hasn't even had a good fondling yet : (
I'm really hoping to get my act together & my house healthy, so I can scrap one of these days!!!

How cool is this??? I was up before the rest of my crew and couldn't help but notice the amazing lighting outside. I peaked out my front door to see this. I was so tempted to wake up my girls and then I got ahold of myself ; )

My cat has the cutest little triangle on her nose. She also has the not so cute habit of jumping up on the sink to request a drink, every single time I'm on the toilet! Beat it, Gato!

It's official...I am starting back on Weight Watchers!! Every year, starting around Halloween & all the way through to Super Bowl, I go on a feeding frenzy!!!! Then February rolls around. The reality that warm weather really isn't too far off, slaps me in the head and back to healthful eating habits. Once I'm in the right frame of mind, counting points is doable. However, there is one thing I miss more than anything else when I'm trying to lose weight....cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE good sharp cheddar cheese. No matter how hard I've tried, the "lite" version just doesn't cut it!
