Sentimental Sunday - Week 4

I can honestly say I am not feeling very sentimental today.  I think I got it all out in during the week so instead I am just posting a picture this week.


Our first Christmas stamp.  I love Zazzle.com!

Sentimental Sunday - Week 3

Here we are, week three of NaBloMoPo and I am still going!

I almost did not complete Friday's post but, inspiration hit me late in the day to complete the Red Writing Hood prompt as I was driving to pick the baby up from the sitters.  Lucky for me, she feel asleep shortly after coming home and the Husband had dinner waiting so banging out 300 words before the first grader got in bed to watch a movie seemed like the easiest thing to do on a Friday night.

At this time last year, I was posting sporadically.  I had given up on NaBloMoPo and was finally to adjusting to having a kindergartener and baby girl who was right around 7 months. 

I was also yelling a lot and wrote about here.  It is amazing the amount of guilt that seems to come with being a parent. Spank or not spank?  Helicopter parent or free range parenting? Are we making the right decisions?  Can we do something better?  Can I get him to eat something other then corn and applesauce?  I feel like I am always doubting myself and at the same time I have never been so sure of anything in my life.  I love my kids, I love my family and as we head into Thanksgiving week I will just say it - I am thankful that I have every bit of it.

Sentimental Sunday - Week 2

At this time, last year, I threw in the towel on NaBloPoMo.

I did not announce it until a few weeks later but none the less - I "failed."

I will not fail this year.

I will succeed.

Today I will remember my dad.

My dad was a quiet man with an easy smile and so quick with a laugh or a joke.

He took long walks and would sit for hours staring at the lake.

I miss the way his hand felt holding mine, I miss the way he smelled of after shave and cigarette smoke.  But, most of all, I miss him.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't wonder how life would be different without him in it.

Especially, now.

I miss my dad.

Link up your special memory (current or past posy, but please to a post).

Sentimental Sunday ~ Week 1

Deciding what to write about that was sentimental and short was harder than I thought it would be but then I realized that I could look back at old posts for inspiration!

I went back to the this week and boy was it a good week for talking about myself!  I wrote about why I started this blog and who encouraged me (unknowingly) to write a blog. And, I wrote about my guilty pleasure - Charmed.

I love that TV show.

I still watch Charmed all though I no longer record it on my DVR.

I still have not bought the comic books and I am hoping the Husband will buy them for me for my birthday but until then I will think of the sisters fondly and then thank the TV gods for creating Grimm and Once Upon a Time.  Sure, one of them, at least, has a heroine but they will never live up to my Charmed but they are very, very good nonetheless.  Of course, now that I have expressed my opinion both shoes will be cancelled.

Thank goodness for reruns.

I can't imagine a more perfect way to spend Sunday afternoons then watching old tv shows and folding laundry.
