This morning, the very first thought that went through my mind was...

"Uh-oh"....

And surely, that just CAN'T be a good sign. So how DOES a parent take care of three kids who all have colds and not get one herself??? Honey so far seems fine, but of course, he isn't with them 24/7, either. I've been taking my vitamins, extra Vitamin C, echinacea. I thought for sure that I had zinc tablets in the house, too, for times such as this, but if I did, they can't be found... I'm eating my fruits and veggies, even though there is an abundance of really yummy candy from Halloween floating around the house.

The scent of eucalyptus and Crisp linen Lysol floats through the house today (yes, wrinkle nose here, it's quite all right, I'm doing it too...). Unfortunately, I woke up tired. Not a good sign. I also woke up to that gummy feeling in the back my throat, and it didn't taste like cinnamon or peppermint, either!!!!

hummmmmm..... I think what I'm really going to want is this:


But what I'm probably going to end up getting is this:


And any parent knows that when little pom pom chickies and the canned stuff looks good, coughing, sore throats and general all around yuckiness usually isn't too far behind.....

The up side to this is, however, that hopefully, the round of coughs and colds will go through the house now and we'll all be okay for Thanksgiving!!!!


Do hope you have a cough free, pain free, worry free, safe and warm pleasant day!!!!

At one time, did real dragons really roam the earth??? If so, what must they really have been like? Were they these fearsome creatures that killed livestock, ate virgins and set fire to the fields?





If they existed, were they wise? Were they merely another type of beast or were they something more? When you took the time to look deep into their eyes, did you see wisdom, passion, a knowing of something more, a certain magic???



Strange thoughts like these roam my head today. I haven't a clue as to why dragons of all beings popped into my head. Maybe I'm trying to escape back into never never land where only the sun shines brightly, colors seem more clear, the waters offer only peace and calmness and knights quest for love and beauty rather than slaying unknown, misunderstood dragons....

Dream a Little Dream of Me:
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me



Phew!!! I was wondering if I was going to be able to finish this before the lights went out.... We're having one nasty storm and the electricity is flickering, the lights dimming for a time.... Fortunately, we are all settled down snug and safe and warm, no matter what comes our way....

Pleasant, peaceful and beautiful dreaming to you~

Your Observation Skills Get A C

You tend to notice the big things in life... But the details aren't exactly your forte

humm..... Well, a story from yesterday just might seal the deal with this one. The twinadoes are going through a real pickle phase. They eat all their veggies on their plate, they get one of those sweet pickle slices (the kind that go on sandwiches). Hey... if it works, do it!!!

So yesterday I had to open a new jar of pickle slices. This was a brand we had never tried before and I was trying to twist the jar open and it's not budging!!!! Usually I can open these things with no problem so I was getting frustrated and the girls wanted their pickle. I have a jar opener so I dug around in the kitchen drawer, pulled it out, got ready to fit it over the top and then realized it had a clear plastic ring around lid.

Took the plastic off, and the jar opened like a snap.... Yes, my keen sense of observation strikes again!!!

May you have a wonderful Friday that smooths its way easily into a beautiful weekend!!!
