15 minutes better, what’s up?, and stuff

Title above is kind of odd isn’t it?  I couldn’t think of any other way to title this post though.

It’s been awhile.  I’ve been traveling, been sick, and then just plain had writer’s block.  Ugh.  But now I’m back and hopefully here to stay. 

Mary over at Owlhaven (www.owlhaven.wordpress.com) is doing a really cool thing.  She’s decided to continue to do her best as a wife/mother each day but is aiming to do 15 mins better.  Then she lists what she’s done.  I thought it was a wonderful way to encourage myself to live in the moment instead of living on a list, checking off each “to do”.  So I have decided to do 15 mins better each day.  And I’ll post here for accountability and encouragement…assuming of course that I still have readers! LOL  Otherwise, I’ll guess I’ll just be posting to me at first.  *grin*

Last night, I went out to dinner with a homeschool moms group that we just formed in our neighborhood.  We went to a great Greek restaurant!  I’ve not ever had Greek food and man oh man is it good!  I stuffed my little self!  Including a half serving of Baclava cheesecake…a slice of toasty gone to heaven sweetness.  Yummo…my mouth is still watering!  We had some great conversations about life, homeschool, curriculum, children, Haiti, and all sorts of other topics.  I love to get together with other women and just talk.  It’s fun to hear all the different perspectives and experiences that we as women have stored up.

 This morning, we have to leave an hour earlier than normal to get to the dentist.  One of my children has an extra tooth (!) that is coming in all of a sudden.  So, we’re off to figure out how to have that taken care of.  I have a feeling it involves anesthesia and an extraction. 

 Talk to you soon!
