Ever have one of those days where things just go your way?? I had one today. Lots of things went right, and lots of those things were due to some hard work I’ve put in. That feeling of accomplishment is just so awesome. I thought I’d celebrate them with you!

Thursday Thirteen #1
I’m trying something new this week. I saw this on TeacherBee’s blog, and decided that I might write more often if only I had a little direction. It would be nice to have one day a week that has a little more structure to it. So, here is my first Thursday Thirteen!

Parent-ese
After putting together Jet’s dictionary entry the other day, it occurred to me that I, as a parent, probably say some extremely ridiculous things, too. I thought I’d start a new blogging category and document those for posterity as well. Of course, with most of them, you have to read the situation to understand where [...]

Either Blogger freaked out on me, or…
today really is Thursday the 10th. Maybe I’ve just been writing the wrong date on everything and tomorrow really IS Friday? How cool would that be?!?!
Seriously, though, I wrote that Thursday Thirteen post last weekend and gave it a publish date of tomorrow. (Thursday! Wacky, I know!) I went to change something in it this [...]

I hope I don’t jinx it
Jet has been staying in his bed all night long for several nights out of the last week or so.We bought him a new “big boy bed” with some of our Christmas money, and then let him pick out sheets at Target. He repeatedly stated that he wanted “Transfarmers” sheets. I was a [...]

Tagged!
TeacherBee tagged me for a meme. I agree with her description of the guilty pleasure in being tagged, because I, too, harbor a deep-seated, secret love of talking about myself.
Here are THE RULES:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some [...]

Jet’s Dictionary, part two
He’s really not a toddler anymore, but he still says some really cute things.
Cherry lime-uh-lade: noun a beverage consisting of lime juice, a sweetener, plain or carbonated water, and maraschino cherries; usually obtained from Sonic, but can now be made at home (ex: “Mommy, my throat hurts. Can I have a cherry lime-uh-lade?”)

Small successes
(I know I said I wouldn’t turn this into a “weight loss blog”, but I really feel the need to get this written down so that I can refer to it later…. I’m hoping it will be something that will inspire me the next time I have a rough day.)
My Weight Watchers meeting went well [...]

Back to the grind (almost)
Jet started back to school today. I don’t go back until tomorrow, so I got him up and took him this morning. Normally, I’m out of the house by 6:00 a.m., so Knight does everything with and for Jet in the mornings. I try to remember to lay out clothes and whatever else Jet might [...]

What is this "resolution" of which you speak?
I’m still on Weight Watchers, and am down a total of 16.4 pounds since August. That includes a few slip-ups (namely, the hedonistic Thanksgiving Week that shall no longer be mentioned), as well as some half-hearted attempts at exercising.I don’t really believe in New Year’s Resolutions. However, my sister’s boyfriend, Dr. Soon-To-Be, FINALLY popped the [...]
