On the Road: Ohio boy pays it forward with found fortune

It's been a really long time since I posted anything on this blog.  But, when I originally envisioned what this blog would be about, it's recognizing folks like Miles who, without hesitation, give to others and make the world a better place as a result.  I can only hope that one day my boys will do something half as wonderful as Miles did for LTC Daly.

Friday funny - Listen to Your Kids

This week when I was dropping G off to his class at school he kept messing with my skirt saying "mommy, mommy" as I was talking to another mom from his class (his BFF Lucy's mom) . I thought he was just trying to get me to pick him up as he does most mornings (stalling) and kept saying "one second please", "G, please don't interrupt", "G, please put my skirt down" and brushing his hands away to prevent him from showing my trade secrets to his entire class. Well next thing I know he has wiped his nose on my skirt!!! And when I asked "G, why did you do that?" His response was "well mom, I asked you for a tissue!" So, who taught who a lesson that morning!?!

Fall happiness!

There are many things that I love about Fall...the cool crisp air, being able to sleep with the windows open, the fall colors, cheap school supplies, pumpkins, mums, turkey for Thansgiiiiving...I could go on.  But, one of my very favorite things is the beginning of "specialty coffee" season.  All the coffee shops and creamer makers bust out the Pumpkin Spice Coffee and that usually makes me happy.  HOWEVER, this year I am serious about being 40 and Fabulous! so the 60+g of sugars in the Starbucks version just doesn't compute.  Well, butter my biscuit and call me Sally, look what showed up in the breakroom at work today:



and look at the nutritional info on it.  0.3g...woohoo!!! Happy :-)


In case you didn't click the link above, Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song is definitely worth a watch/listen.  Cracks me up!
