<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I forgot to tell you about this tradition we do every year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The matriarch (Grandma) passes out three little pieces of un-popped popcorn to each person. Then a jar is passed around, each peep drops their popcorn in as they say what they're thankful for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My kids answers this year:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gary--Family, Emmy & Lilly, a house and basketball</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Emmy--My family, my school, and my friends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lilly--My family, my food and Disneyland.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Personally, I think Lilly's rocks the socks! Not only does she love the happiest place on earth, she is <b>so</b> going to the beat of her own drum. My three year old is the most independent thinker in the fam. Good or no so good? you decide ;)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lilly had told Emmy she'd get her a present, a specific one in fact...luckily, I found out and picked up a littlest pet shop set (that stuff is not cheap!). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gary helped Lilly wrap it (they have some mad wrapping skillz)...Lilly ran out yelling, "Emmy I got you a..."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">luckily Gary can run fast too and caught her before she could tell...granted, Lilly proceeded to whisper the upcoming present continually. It was quite entertaining!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On Thursday we did the unthinkable! We didn't cook! We didn't eat Turkey! Nope my folks ordered a prime rib dinner from Safeway. It was ex.cell.ent! I did make <a href="http://www.thelondoner.me/2011/06/slutty-brownies.html" target="_blank">these</a>. And like she says--they are awesomesauce!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I had to work out of town again all last week...it was a good job, but one of those all encompassing types, where I barely have time to think. I feel lucky to squeeze in 10 minutes to skype with my babies at the end of the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and the pressure to keep up just slides away, plus trust me, you absatively do not want to hear about my work week!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gman has been having a rough week/life at school for a variety of reasons. Really it's all about basketball. He is full of negativity and frustration. (side note: the kid is used to things being easy for him--straight A's forev babeeeee-- but he started basketball late in youth). He isn't as good as he wants to be. The stinker is also your typical teenager and blaming a lot of things on others. Now for those of you that don't have the pleasure of knowing my wunderfewl boi, he's awesomesauce--just was down on his luck..Relying on yourself for your fulfillment is a lifelong lesson in my opinion...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This was a moment in life, where as a parent you have to dig down, down to a place you don't want to go readily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You see, drama skeptics, when I was in high school, a senior in fact..I had a really hard time with a teacher I greatly loved and respected. This falling out led to a lot of tension and me essentially failing at this activity. Granted,<i> I</i> dropped the ball on this activity that was near and dear to my heart. And <i>I</i>, was the reason I didn't win a silly award at the end of the year. The feelings I had of rejection and disappointment were so deep and a huge blow to my self esteem. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sitting and listening to someone you love, 'complain' but really try to tell you how they're hurting where they're at is so hard. Harder than a colicky baby or the terrible twos. A teenager is an entity unto themselves. And when your kid is at any age, but especially a teenager, you have to balance your involvement--you know it is the time where there are things they have to figure out for themselves. (this is something I have a particularly hard time with, as a single and neurotic parent--I am a mama bear, helicoptering herself and her views all over the poor children)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I had this AHA moment, where I realized, I had to tell my son about the pain in my past. In a way it sounds silly to write it out like this. I'm so glad I told him though. I sat here on my couch and retold him the story of how I failed at something in high school, how much it hurt at the time and even for a long time after, but how I was a stronger person for it and how I realized the only person that could control those events then was the same person controlling the perspective now--ME. In a way, it was like those events led me to this, to the chance to share and find meaning in my past. Funny how finding meaning and forgiveness is something that takes years sometimes. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Have you seen the scene lately? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it is certainly chock full o' nuts and colorful characters...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I decided to start dating after some friends encouraged me to get back out there...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> How do you meet peeps today? Well it seems like online is the way to go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There is this site--plenty of fish--perhaps you've heard of it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> On the upside it is to-tall-eee <b>free</b>! It is quite aptly named, as it is a total catch <i>and</i> <b>release</b> dating plan...throwing many a fishy character back!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's actually great for a woman on there, <i>so</i> many tugs at the net you cast--many lines being thrown at you--ay yi yi! And not just to be punny!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since there are wayyyy more men on there than women, you do get your choice of all the cahrazzzeeee in your inbox. Don't get me wrong, there are </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">some</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> nice peeps on there...but the majority seem to be cruising for something else...I have no idea what...winkity wink...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So a free, crazy, dating site was my welcome back into being single...yes, yes it was...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Remember how <i>great</i> picture was day at school? Some guy with greased hair and a cheesey tie telling you to tip your chin, tilt your head, and now </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">grin</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">? Ugh...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Really though, I love school pictures...of my brood at least...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today is that smiling day for the ladies (G$ had his earlier this year). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The school requested the kids wear 'fall colors' -um ok...I don't really like the dressing requests. As we've talked about, I often put serious thought into what my kidlets are wearing and don't care for parameters. Alas, my <a href="http://swimconfessions.blogspot.com/2011/11/keeping-up-with-blogses-and-eye-doc.html">need for them to look cute</a> is well balanced with my desire for them to fit in, so we chose a <strike>brown</strike> sparkly dress for Bean and a red dress for Birdie. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqCtWXw9MnBT8b2t6K7iYswbtRmPy-lsV-it3Mj3PtszIFS1PptemJpEqR82MeRCm1pbC8Y_ql6u3P81yqKV7ReznfBmGF8nW7rG144mIc_awXCEdBjH2injwP8tiLBTAGrP672UFSmQd/s1600/IMG_7451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I had to run so my mama took some pre-pics for me...her distaste for taking pics fits right in with the ladies' distaste for having their pics taken (really I am related to all of them...)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I fell in love with wreath I saw on <a href="http://pinterest.com/imspunky/turkey-talk/">pinterest</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> fell.hard.like.smitten! And knew I had to have it. It seemed the perfect project to get myself off the click-fest and have a craft-fest. (are ya with me, it is so easy to waste away pinning and skip to doing?!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">now there are 436758 tutorials out there for how to make one of these yarn wreaths! Dontcha hate it when you think you have a creative idea and it turns out it's been-there-done-that on some blog from 2008! Yikes! (Actually the creativity online never ceases to amaze me...)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's super easy--get yourself some yarn, wrap it around a wreath form, slap on some felt diamonds, wrap some more yarn, add some felt flowers and an owl! Voila! end of post...boo...wait there's more!</span></div>
