I was browsing my blog and noticed my New Year's Resolutions from last year.....let us compare and see if I really stuck with any or did anything at all!!!!
New Year's Resolutions January 2005:
1. Quit Smoking Er.....Nope
2. Learn Quilting Er....Nope
3. Be more patient (with myself, my family and people in general)
Did practice it!
4. Find a friend A little late but new neighbors across the street moved in at Thanksgiving and I like her! But she does have a Witchcraft Encylopedia :~
2 out of 4 isn't too bad...is it?
So without further ado here are 2006 Resolutions:
1. Quit Smoking (duh)
2. Share my comments more and not just keep them in my head.
(except the crazy ones ;)
3. Try to add fru-fru to my humble home and yard.
4. Find a good church, to combat the Witchcraft :)
We will check back in 365 days to see if any progress was made.
Take care and Happy New Year!

This pic does not do God's Masterpiece any justice! The colors were very salmon and blue and I took this pic trying to make a right turn into our subdivision, that might have something to do with it also.

I felt this *putting fingers together to show one inch* small
This happened a couple of weeks ago at the store.....
Little One, Hubby and I were shopping at Publix, we were almost thru the store, the cart was full. Little One and I were at the eggs, Hubby went to get bread. Little One was steering the cart, he looked up at me and asked "Can I go and get Daddy?" I said no, its crowded just stay with me. Daddy was in my eyesight. Little One looks up at me and asked "Mama, when are you going to let me do things myself?"
At that moment I felt like the whole store was empty and it was just Little One and Me and it hit me, my son is no longer a baby, like I like to think but a wonderful 8 year old boy.
So needless to say, every now and then I catch myself from reeling him in on my apron strings and I cut them loose and let my son venture out on his own.
Time sure flies and life is too short.

You really can't tell much from the camera phone pic but this is our decorations. They are the LED blue icicle lights and we bought a Star to go right in the middle, which happens to be blue. It is really pretty. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

The old director, Miss Charla, called to tell me she is having a camp the week that Tae Kwon Do is closed so Nicholas will be attending with her!
Alright I found out that the local YMCA is having camp the week of Dec. 26th, Friday Dec. 29th it is only 1/2 a day but I can take that off! WHEW!

This house is about a 3 miles from where we live it is beautiful!! The owners own a Christmas Shop in Clearwater and they create a winter wonderland each year (this is our 2nd year attending) complete with snow machine that blows tiny bubbles that looks like snow and a nativity scene and animated everything!! This picture really does it no justice. It is not junky by any means just pure joy and beautiful!!

This is the 2nd annual Gingerbread building workshop that little one does at Tae Kwon Do. This year they gave the kids all the things to build with and told them to go to it! I think my little one's was the best of all of them. He even used a candy bar for the chimney!

We tried..........
Rewind last Christmas break.....
I have little one in Tae Kwon Do (TDK) They usually have camp during any school break (ie.. Spring break, Christmas, Thanksgiving) Well I just figured they would have both weeks of camp during Christmas. WRONG. Come to find out they were closed the week of Christmas (meaning the week leading up to Christmas). I did not have any more vacation to take and neither did my husband. So little one was able to go to work with hubby for that week.
Rewind 3 months ago....
Hubby asked when is the TDK closed for Christmas break, I verified with the Director of TDK and it would be the same week as last year. Hubby scheduled his last week of vacation for that week so we would not be left without anyone to watch little one. Yea for us, planning ahead.
Current day.....
The director of the TDK just up and QUIT this past Monday, which I found out ONLY thru little one on TUESDAY!!?? (ask little one about the expression on my face when he told me this) Wednesday I go to pick up little one after work and the schedule is out for the week of Christmas camp......TO MY SHOCK THEY CHANGED THE CLOSED WEEK TO THE WEEK AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked the Master (owner of TDK) if this was correct or a typo??? He said yea it's correct, we changed it b/c I will not be here and since the director quit I would not have anyone for that week to work. I (as calmly as I could) explained to him I DO NOT have anyone to watch little one for that week b/c hubby already had scheduled vacation for the week that it was to suppose to be! All he said was sorry. So we are back to the same thing as last year....I have no vacation left, hubby is not allowed to bring little one to work again for a week ( it was an exception just for last year) I am going to ask if I can bring little one to my work but boss said no last year.
You know the saying "between a rock and a hard place"? that is where I am right now...............................................................................................
