New Tradition

I found this really cute idea somewhere that I am going to use this Thanksgiving. You take a table cloth and a cloth marker. Everyone that is celebrating Thanksgiving with you has to sign the tablecloth and write what they are thankful for. I thought this was a great idea. It is a wonderful tradition that can be passed down for years.

Traditions

I think traditions are so important. Traditions are what memories are made of. I want my kids to look back on their childhood and remember that we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus every year on Christmas. Christmas cookies put out for Santa every year before bed were a must. New jammies and a game that we played on Christmas Eve were a must have. Decorating the house the day after Thanksgiving.
These are just a couple of the traditions I have set up for our family. I would love to add some more. Would you please share what your family does every year to make those special memories?
I now know I have five readers, so I'm expecting at least five comments.

Just can't cut it this year

Last November it was a hit. I loved blogging every day for a month. I lived for what I was going to write down everyday. Reading all of my other friends who took this challenge was so much fun.
Well, not this year. I just can't cut it!! I'm just not feeling the blogs this year. I have lots to write about but just not into it.
For those two people that read my blog I will continue posting just not the November challenge.

Computer

We are back. While our computer is still very sick he is back at half speed. I will use this to post a quick post. I'm hoping from here on out in November my blogging will be a go.
Oh computer how I have missed you.

Crashed

YUP that is what my computer has done. CRASHED!!! I'm not even sure how to survive without it. We have had the computer for a long time and it has been acting up for a few years, but we just tried to ignore it. I went to jump on it this morning to do my blog and nothing. NOTHING!!! Again, I have no idea what to do without it. I guess I can say I am lucky. My mother in law gave Morgan an old computer a few years ago. I am sitting here right now typing away on that. The R is missing and I am using dial up because I'm not sure how to connect it the other computers Internet. Anyway, I was very afraid that I wouldn't be able to post but look at me. Where there is a will there is a way. I wonder how much work I can get done now that my computer is down. It should be really interesting.

My Kitten/Tiger

I thought Morgan was a kitten, but she informed that she was a tiger. Whatever she was she was very cute.

Running

Since I turned 34 last month I have discovered I have forgotten what I like to do. I love raising my children, teaching them, cleaning, caring for them. These are the things I love to wake up every day to do. Looking back over the 9 years that I have been a parent I have realized I have forgotten what I like to do (besides raise kids).
This next year is full of finding out what I like to do. One of these new found things that I have forgotten that I like to do is run. I use to love running. So I have rediscovered the wonderful art of having alone time and just running. I have set a major goal with this old, new found running. I am planning in the next year and a half I am going to run a marathon. My hope is to start out with a half a marathon next summer and then go from there. Wish me luck. I am on week four of training and all is going well.
