I have received so much wonderful and thoughtful email this last week. Thank you for that, your love and support makes my heart swell with gratitude.
Life has been busy. I cannot believe October is here already. There is so much I want to get done before 2009 comes to an end. I am trying not to dwell on the things and goals I did not accomplish. This is hard to do, I know many of you can relate. I am doing EVERYTHING in my power to just celebrate what I did get done. I have even written a new list starting with things I completed JUST so I could mark them off as done. I like to play games with myself...it helps me cope. Myself doesn't seem to mind too much and it's a good boost.
I was going through pictures and found TWO "Cooking With Jordan" posts i need to put together from JUNE and AUGUST...wow this was a crazy busy Summer. Blogging most def took a back seat. I felt guilty about it off an on for a while, but I am glad to know I can always come back to my blog when time allows. Anyway I will get those up sometime soon.
I just renewed my contract with Fishful Thinking as a returning Faculty member. I am out there in schools and parenting groups sharing this amazing message. If you want to learn more click on the link or on the Goldfish on my sidebar. It is an amazing website filled with valuable tools and lessons for parenting today's kids. Trust me, you are going to love it!
Jordan is thriving in 8th grade. She is especially loving her Spanish class and is bringing home A's. Big Daddy is enjoying the extra time they spend together studying Spanish and I LOVE hearing the laughter and the accents coming from the other room...too cool.
Big Daddy loves his new position as Sergeant and enjoys the place he is working. It's been a bit of an adjustment getting his schedule to work just right for our family and it will most likely change after the first of the year, but we will adjust then too. We know that even with the state of CA doing furlough days and pay cuts in Law Enforcement that we are blessed beyond measure to be employed.
This is AWESOME! FUN is an attitude. OH and.... Optimism can be taught AND learned...life is beautiful... enjoy it...savor the big and little things!
I am hoping to make some time for a little blog jogging...I feel like there is sooooo much to catch up on. I miss y'all.

that is GREAT that she is doing so good in Spanish! I wish I remembered a little more than I do with my 2 years of HS Spanish!
glad things are good! life is busy...but that is a good thing....right!! how dull things would be if it weren't!
It's good to hear that you and the family are doing well. I took an extended bloggy hiatus too so I know where you are coming from. I am in law enforcement as well and it has been so difficult for everyone here with furloughs but we too are grateful for our jobs!
Cute video! And I got a kick out you adding things you have already done to your list just so you can cross that off.... too funny! Glad to hear things are going well!
I love this post.
Great video...
Do you mind if I borrow it for my post today?
Too cool...
My friend just sent me this video the other day! So awesome. He told me that he could see me spending hours on the stairs playing with something like this. :P Guess sometimes it's easier to stay young.
Glad you're focusing on the positives. I find it really helps me when I'm feeling down or disappointed.
Glad to hear everything is going well, it's always lovely to read your blog and hear about your beautiful family. x
