November Blessing #21

I have been waiting to see if I could really be Thankful about this or not, but decided that I'm thankful for the opportunity to see if this could work.

Hubby has suffered with blood clots (don't worry they won't kill him) thus causing his feet to swell thus giving him sores on his feet. Due to the lack of circulation in feet the sores just wouldn't heal. It's all a doomed cycle or seems like a doomed cycle. This cycle has gone on for months.

A couple of weeks ago he went back to the doctors and they had a wonderful surprise for him. They had a man in before hubby that was approved and got lab grown skin for his wounds. They'd only needed half of it for the man and half of it to give to someone else .....HUBBY! Notice the word GIVE, this stuff is expensive and they were going to GIVE it to Hubby. I'm tell ya it was the right appointment to have that day!

Well, they put it in place, wrapped it up and said don't peek for 2 weeks. That was hard wondering if the skin had taken or been rejected.

He went back to the doc yesterday they changed the wrapping, didn't peek and sent him on his way for 2 more weeks.

This time I'm once again thankful by Modern Medical Technology!

Beautiful grounded day

My school Terra Cycling stuff was getting out of hand and with the weather so cold and rainy (earlier this week) I didn't want be cold in the garage messing with it. Today when my plans got grounded by G's illness and the warm (60's) sunny weather I conquered the recycling. We've already collected about $30 for the school.

Then I headed out to hang up G's beautiful bright red bird house.

Picture to come later.

Hubby found a little tree that looks like a Deer had rubbed on it. If only our dog weren't afraid of the night he could really be more effective!?! When he is out (during the day) he's busy digging for moles in the field. He's driven one into the edge of the yard. I was looking at the 'mounds' in the yard one day when he attempted to start digging for one. I scolded him and he stopped, got that pitiful look on his face and thankgoodness hasn't dug in the yard since. I believe I could become Bill Murray from Caddyshack if this mole gets further into my yard.

I brought up a box of old movies (from W's days) for G to watch. Aladdin is currently playing.

Today I am Blessed to be available.

Today I got a call from the

school saying that G was sick.

I rushed out of the house, scooped him up,

brought him home to be comfy and cozy.

This morning I'm busy googling to see who the Teacher of the year was in our state. I can't find it, of which I am not thankful for!

A teacher from the school that I work at the most was up for the award. She was the teacher of year for our region but now she was going for the top stop along with 7 others. The awards dinner was last night.

Yesterday I subbed for an Early Childhood Education program at this school so I got to attend a special surprise assembly for her. I have gotten to work with this teacher on a few occasions and I learn so much from her each time she's in the classroom with me.

So today I'm thankful for being able to work and be a stay at home mom. To get to work in a such a great school (they've had a teacher of the year finalist for the past 3 years).

There is a difference in the schools in our district and this school is certainly the cream of the crop! I love to work there because of the kids, because of the staff and because of the teachers.

November Blessing #19

I'm feeling blessed by Pork Chops today!

or I will once supper is done!

I love these pork chops

they're really nothing

I just pound out the chops with seasonings

then either grill them or fry them in a bit a olive oil

Slap'em on a bun with dill pickles

maybe some onions

and I'm BLESSED!

Love Love Love them!

The last time we had them W came home and

almost jumped for joy that there were left chops in the frig!

November Blessing #18

I was blessed today by a well tongue!

You know when you get that little sore at the tip of your tongue? The one that makes you aware of every tooth in your mouth and how much your tongue goes over every tooth?

Please tell me it's just not me!?!

Today my tongue was perfectly fine again!

November Blessing #17

I was Blessed by .......

Need I say More?

November Blessing #16

This past weekend I was Blessed by W

telling me that it didn't matter what I fixed for meal it was

still better than what the school had to offer!

That took the pressure of meals off.

I am Blessed for sending W to a school

where the food is yucky!

November Blessing #15B

For supper (or lunch it's the only meal I'm fixing today) we had these

 baked apples. 

 Actually, these aren't the exact baked apples that I saw Rachel cook yesterday.  They are basically the same, except she used a Kashi (cold) cereal.  She said we could pick our own cereal.  So I picked one with raisins, dates and pecans.  Then I added more walnuts. 

I couldn't find either kinds of apples and now I've forgotten what I used but I think they could have cooked a little longer.

Goodness they were good

and I felt Blessed!

November Blessing #15

Today I feel Blessed to have

 all my chicks at home.

They have played ping pong together,

 the older teaching the younger

and the younger being teachable.

We've even watched A Haunting

I do believe in spirits but

I don't ever watch scary things and

this just confirmed that I won't be watching again anytime soon!
