Noah has this horribly annoying CD I bought him about 4 months ago. We listen to it every time we are in the car. EVERY TIME we are in the car. NO MATTER WHAT. He points to the radio and flips out until you put on his music. THEN, he is happy as a clam.
Well, I finally changed the CD; He didn't notice, {thank the Good Lord). This new CD is FULL of songs my momma sang to us growing up. Each one brings a smile to my face and memory to mind.
Today I am thankful for the music my momma sang to us growing up. Today, I am thankful that if I have to listen to this every day, at least I can tolerate this particular CD!

{Yesterday} Thankful for Ponytails
We are allowed to wear jeans on certain days at school. Often, when I wear jeans, I wear a pony tail. Why not? It is easy, out of the way and functional.
Yesterday, was one of those days. I admit, my hair was doing something funky even before I got to school, but -
When I got to school and started our day in the classroom, one of my boy students said, "Mrs. Mills, I don't mean this mean, but, you look a lot prettier with your hair down and curly." I smiled and said the proper southern response, "Well, that's nice. Thank you."
I got owned my a 2nd grader.
Today, my hair is down and curly...

Thankful For My Planner -
I recently lost my oxygen tank day planner. I couldn't find her anywhere. I was fearing the worst... forgetting dates, important events, even birthdays. I can NOT imagine life without my day planner.
I sent a note out to my school asking where my planner was, and if anyone had seen her. If she was lost, I would pay handsomely for her safe return...
... She was recovered today. She safe, at home, back in my arms. I feel whole again. I have already double-checked that I have indeed, NOT forgotten anything.
Today, I am thankful for my day planner.
What I am not thankful for...is my memory.

Thankful For My Job -
Today, I am thankful for my job. I am thankful I have a job. I am thankful for the role The Lord put me in. I am a teacher. As of recent, a 2nd grade teacher. Prior to November 1, 2011, I was a SPED teacher. I love kids. I love their minds, how the work and what little things the can come up with.
I am thankful I get to work with my students everyday. It is a fact - I wake up everyday thankful for my job, but more, thankful to be a teacher.
I have said it once, and I will say it again, I wake up happy to go to work every day. I am a pretty lucky girl. Not too many people can say that.

Thankful..
Yes, I am jumping on the "November-Thanksgiving-Thankful-For" bandwagon. Each day, between now and Thanksgiving, I will list one thing I am thankful for. Let's catch up....
1. I am thankful for my wonderful husband. He has changed my world, given me the very best, treats me like a queen and makes me smile very day. He blessed me with my most prized possession... which brings me to:
2. My dear baby. My little sugar lights up my life, brings me joy and happiness every day! He makes me cherish life's big and small moments. He makes every day a challenge and a pleasure.
3. I am thankful for my immediate family. My parents made me who I am. My mother is my rock; she exudes what it means to be able to do it all. She faces challenges head on, and never breaks a sweat. She lives life fully and is determined to make the most of life, always! What an inspiration. My Daddy can do it all, with an incredible amount of ease. He sees life through optimistic lenses and makes me laugh every time we talk. More than anything, he has shown me HOW to love. He loves my mother and loves our family more than any one person could. He walks on water, and is my hero! My sister and her family, and my little brother are so very unique and hold a very central part of my heart. I have the lucky spot to be the middle child, to have an older sister to follow and a younger brother to lead!
4. I am so very blessed with an incredible in-law family. I dreamed growing up that I would have an in-law family that I could see as my very own. That is exactly what I have. My mother and father in law have taken me as their own - treating me as a part of their family from the very beginning. I know that regardless of situation, I could call on either one and they would be there for me. They have blessed Cullen and I with a faithful and successful marriage to follow. My brother in law and sister in law are wonderful. They are kind, and considerate. How much better do I get to have them both!
5. I am thankful for my situation. I am a young, married, woman with a successful job, a home I own, and a life I created with my husband that I am very proud of.
6. I am thankful for my best friend. She has been my other half since 1991. We were on the phone last night, talking about how we have been together for 20 years. 20 YEARS! That is longer than most marriages. She and I have been through it all. She knows everything about me. She is smart, kind, caring, loving, HYSTERICALLY SARCASTIC, and determined. She knows what she wants and goes for it. She lives life to the fullest and has a certain charisma about her that makes you WANT to be her friend. You should count your blessings if you are her friend. I count myself among the luckiest - she is my best friend. Double Burger...

Funday Friday
Noah and I are at home today with his Brohchitis. He slept through the night (woo woo!), woke up on his own hungry and thirsty! We were cautious about how much to give him...we didn't want a repeat show from last night.
However, great news - he has kept it all down, and he has wet diapers, which means NOT DEHYDRATED!! Thank goodness!
Happy Friday all. Have a wonderful weekend. We will be here nursing our lovebug to better health!

Sick Baby = Sad Mommy
I have a sick baby. I am not happy. Today Hubby got a call from Noah's day care. She said Noah had been throwing up yellow. Yes, yellow. SO, concerned, Hubby took Baby to the doctor. The Doctor said Baby has Bronchitis. So.Sad. I came home as quick as I could. My sweet sugar and I cuddled all afternoon. He changed clothes three times from 3:00 - 6:00 because he threw up so much.
Eventually, I just left him in his diaper. At least that way, when vomit occurs, it takes a towel... not a change of clothes, and a towel!
So, We snuggled up in my bed and he fell fast asleep.What is it about your momma's bed when you are sick that makes you feel better? It is true, think back to your childhood. Where did you want to be when you were sick? In your momma's bed. I still do...
SO, we are staying home Friday so that Baby Boy can get to feeling better - and so that his friends at daycare do not have to feel this way too! Have a wonderful weekend! We are surely going to try!

Banana Pudding Face...
So, Noah is WILD about feeding himself these days. He especially loves feeding himself if it is semi-liquid (like pudding).
 |
| Hi Momma. Want some of my pudding?? |
He is serious about his food consumption...this was followed with "Mo, Mo" his little way of saying MORE...
...I swear, he may eat me out of house and home.
