My three year old little girl has been in preschool for a month now, and of course I've wondered how she will do. I'm a mom, of course I worry about how she's doing, especially when she has a big transition like starting school!!!!
The first week was a bit rough. I have to admit it. The excitement wore off a bit after about the third morning she had to get up at 7 am. This little gal has been used to sleeping in! The first week was fraught with tantrums and trying to see just how much she could get away with. But, she has a teacher who knows very well what she's doing, she's been teaching for years, and was able to help Emily get used to the new routine, and my husband and I helped her finish adjusting to the new routine at home that we had tried to start a month before school ever began.
As I said, we're a month into it now, and she LOVES it!!!!! She is coming home every day with some new song they've learned, or some new game, she's counting a little higher than she was before school began, she's learning her ABC's, and she's learning her colors. She knew a little of this stuff before school started, but she's taken off like a rocket since she's been there! And all she talks about these days is her friends at school. She comes home with art work at least one day a week, so my refrigerator has begun it's second career as an in-home art museum (think magnets and finger paint!) and she's so eager to do the projects she comes home with. We made applesauce the other night as one of her assignments. I did the cutting and the cooking, she mixed in the ingredients...when she wasn't eating the apples!
And the parents get really involved as well. There are get-togethers every week for the parents, not really meetings, just a time for the parents to get together and get to know each other, and we have a lot of fun. I went to the conference room yesterday after I dropped Emily off for class and spent an hour just drinking coffee and talking to other moms and the director before I went to work. We're planning a float for the Christmas parade.
The school she goes to is very interested in their volunteers. They welcome any of the parents who can give time for anything. I told the teacher I would love to come in and help one day in October when they plan to make fall crafts, and I also told her I know how to make finger paint and play-dough. I have the recipes, and they're so easy, and it saves the preschool some money. I have a pine cone bird feeder project I asked about doing and I was told it's a great idea. Looking forward to it, as soon as she tells me when they want me to do it.
And, as soon as they set the orientation meeting date, I have an application in for substitute teacher. I used to teach, and I've realized how much I missed it, so I'm trying to get back in. I need to renew my credential. I don't need it to sub, but if I renew it I can become a full time teacher. I enjoyed it when I was doing it, but I had to walk away from it when I had a couple of miscarriages. It's hard to work with and take care of other kids when you have a doctor telling you that you may never have one of your own. But I now have a 3 year old, healthy, happy little girl, so I'd say that problem is resolved.
But I digress. This post is pretty much about my daughter and her new adventures. So far she is having a ball and I'm having a lot of fun getting involved. :) She's growing so fast, and I'm really glad she's getting the chance to be around a bunch of kids her own age and have fun learning. These years are so important, and I think we have her off to a good start. I'm sure I'll blog more about her school adventures as the year progresses!

Mmmmmm.....Fall.....
Ahhhhh yes. That slight chill on the breeze, that soft hint of coolness that kisses you gently on the cheeks as it drifts across your face. The trees are just beginning to give us a sneak preview of their colorful performance to come. That hint of spice on the air, the garden has pretty much gone to sleep for the year, stepping out onto the deck in the morning to see a flock of geese heading south in a V formation...yes, Fall is here. I love this season.
Tonight is the first truly chilly night we've had. It's inching down toward 40 F. I had to bring a few of my plants in since it may actually dip down below 40 tonight, and my herbs can't take the cold. That's fine. I knew when I got them that they would have to winter in the house. Have you ever smelled a rosemary plant? I now have four of them setting on top of the wooden chest at the far side of my dining room. Speaking of nice scents, when I went outside to bring the rosemary plants in, I caught a sweet, warm scent on the air. Someone on this road has lit their fireplace tonight.
But it's really not cold in this house. There's a little bit of a chill, but it's a nice break from the sweltering nights we've had over the summer, and it didn't take running the AC on high to cool it off. Yeah, a nice cool night, just comfortable cool in the house...
...and my HUSBAND has turned the HEATER on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well. I guess one person's "it's nice and cool in here" is another person's "holy crap it's freezing in here!".
Pretty soon we'll be lighting our fireplace. I love that thing. My grandfather built the thing himself. He as a class A welder during his Navy years, and he put that talent to a lot of use in his later years. He could build anything, and he built the fireplace that is in our living room. It heats the whole house without a problem. I love it. I love the sound of it, the smell of it, the coziness of it, the memories of it from when I was little....and it keeps us from having to use electric heat hardly at all during the winter!!! :)
PS...my husband, who has turned the heater on at the first hint of a chill in the air, can't understand how I'm eating ice cream at the moment! LOL!!!
I guess it is just a little chilly in this house. I love it. It seems the coldest months make the warmest memories. :) Chilly in the house, not cold. Big difference. I'm just enjoying this first chilly night. It's about 65 in the house. Just nice and cool. Ahhhh, perfect!!!

To everyone who reads my blog...
As far as I know, anyone can make comments on my posts. I'd love to see what others think. :)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
UPDATE: Yeah, um, okay...so by default comments were limited to Blogger members. I found that under settings and remedied it. No wonder I wasn't getting comments!!! It's now open to everyone. Gotta love default settings, right?? *rolls eyes*
Oh, and I found out that a blog view or two are coming from someone I have quite a bit of respect for and hold in high regard. Needless to say, I feel pretty honored. :)

Why Aren't I Surprised?
There have been times that I have opened my blog, and wanted to write something with some deep thought to it, maybe something that sounds even just a little profound....
....But is just ain't happening....
Oh well. C'est la vie.

About that book Paul Young released...
Remember a couple of posts ago, I said Paul had released a cookbook and I "can't wait to get my little paws on it"? Well, I did. :)
Here's the long and short of it: Paul released it, it's called "On My Travels", it's a collection of his favorite recipes, I burn scrambled eggs, and he explains it in a way that even I can get it right, so there ya go. And yes, one of the recipes I've tried called for eggs. 5 of em. And I've noticed a lot of the recipes, at first glance, look like they'd be really hard to make, and they're not!!! He has pictures of everything in the book, and to look at the pics, I'm thinking "there's no way I can make that!" and then the recipes are written, like I said, in a way that probably anyone could do it. And I have a lot of fun with his "Stuffed Pork Chop" recipe, because it calls for use of the blender, and my daughter loves running the blender! She loves putting the ingredients into the blender, lol! And of course, one time she thought it would be cute to take the lid off while the blender was running....the walls got a good washing after that...
I'm not going to blab any recipes here, as those belong to Mr. Young, but I will say that the one that called for the eggs goes by the name "Buccatini Alla Carbonara" and it is unreal. Really, really good. You make your own sauce for it, and the way it's written, even I couldn't screw it up, lol! I've gone through cookbooks before, gotten recipes off the internet before, and half way through making something I'm standing there reading the directions over and over and thinking "huh???" while my poor stove is left to fend for itself with a pan about to catch on fire. He's written his so normal (I'm normal?? ;) ) people could figure it out. And his recipes never seem to be for just one or two servings when it's done, it's meant to make enough for the family. Works for me! I have a family, and I love it when a recipe makes enough for leftovers, because leftovers = "I don't have to cook tomorrow night!!!!" :D
So far, I've tried three. I've tried the Buccatini, mentioned above, and it is awesome. My little girl, who won't eat but a very small variety of food, absolutely inhaled it. I've tried the stuffed pork chops, which are also awesome, a little spicier than what I normally fix around here, but it is really good. My daughter isn't a big pork chop eater, but she loves the stuffing! And I made the pasta pomodoro recipe from his website. (I wonder why it didn't make it into the book??????) But a similar sauce recipe is in there. It's my favorite, lol! And, again, my daughter likes it too.
My husband likes most of it, but I'm more concerned with expanding the very slender menu my kid will choose from. I try to make things everyone likes, but it worries me to see my daughter sit there with her plate in front of her and she won't touch it. So far she has not turned her nose up at ANY of Paul's recipes!!! So as a side note, my daughter will eat macaroni, bacon, Cheerios, cheese, and so far anything out of that book! LOL!!!
And with the holidays soon approaching, I'm going to give his strawberry pie recipe and his sweet potato pecan pie recipe a try.
So the verdict: Money well spent on a VERY nice book, and I now know of at least 3 things besides macaroni and cheese that my daughter will actually eat!!!
Oh, and at the back of the book, he has some stories of his touring, and some nice pictures!!!
And if I'm going to post about it, wouldn't it be an intelligent idea to put the link here.... http://www.paulyoungonmytravels.com/ Give it a peek. :)
Ok, I'm off. My review of the book is done, lol. Goodnight all!
Oh, and one more thing, and I know it may not seem like much, but this is coming from a parent whose child will be hospitalized if she eats even a small amount of peanuts: He has a recipe in there that calls for peanuts, and he has it noted at the TOP of the page, right there at the beginning of the ingredient list: "Contains Peanuts". That deserves a big thank you. Pointing it out was thoughtful of him. I'm sure there are other people out there who have bought the book and have someone in the family with a peanut allergy, and to me that little note makes things a little easier when planning dinner. So that one will be a good one to fix when Shorty is spending the night at her grandma's house. So from one parent to another, thank you Paul.

Cars are not surfboards. O.o
Ok, I know I shouldn't kid about it like the title suggests, but it pretty well sums it up.
We've had a lot of rain lately, which doesn't excuse most of us from still running the errands we have to run. Halfway down the road I live on, there is a place it the road that looks totally unassuming, which is completely misleading. Beware the little places in the road that don't look like they have much water in them. They will throw your butt in the ditch!
Having said that, I have encountered this patch in the road before, and gotten bounced into the other lane, though still in control of the car. I should have known better.
I did slow down when the rain started. I ran into it maybe a mile from the house. However, it wasn't enough. I hit that puddle in that dip in the road, and the car took off. All of a sudden, it felt as if nothing were under my car, it was skidding, and turning sideways. I hit my brakes, which locked, and when the car finally got traction again, it took off like it had been projected from a slingshot. We did a 360 in the road, and then sideways down the ditch for about 15 feet, and then the car turned, nose first, into a deeper part of the ditch. This car is a 1991 Crown Victoria, probably 16 feet long, and we were completely off the road. That should tell you how far we went into the ditch/gully/whatever you want to call it.
Up to now, I know it sounds bad, and it could have been. I know it could have. The Trooper told me what could have very well happened. This car held it's own, stayed on all 4's, and came to a stop without anyone getting hurt. Unless you have kids, you have NO IDEA just how grateful I am for this outcome. My 3 year old was in the back seat!
No injuries, no damage to the car (other than a bent tail pipe!), the Trooper even said the car seat was fine and we had installed it correctly, which was why he let us put her back in the car after the wrecker driver pulled it out of the ditch. I think I knocked the front end out of alignment a little.
Either way, the car cranked up and I was able to drive it home like nothing had happened, though I was shaking like a leaf, lol!
I told the Trooper that we had hydroplaned. My daughter heard this, and told her dad "A plane got the car!! See Daddy?! A plane got our car!" After what we had just been through, nothing could have been funnier than hearing her say that!
It was just me and her in the car. When we wrecked, I couldn't find my phone. Someone stopped and called 911, and then let me use their phone to call my husband, who brought our brother in law along in the truck to see what had happened. They put Emmers in the truck so she wouldn't have to be in the middle of us assessing the damage and getting the car out.
The outcome: No damage, no injuries, no ticket (thank goodness!). The Trooper did say that the state was going to have to do something to this road...I'm the 3rd one he's responded to in the same place in the past couple of weeks! He gave my daughter a toy kitten, and then we were all on our way. :)
The moral of this story: Drive slow in the rain, boof anyone who honks at you for it, and beware of roads that double as water slides!!!!!

I guess this one is about favorite singers...or one in particular! :)
Wow, my blog is still here. It's been so long I'm going to have to brush the dust off of it and make sure it still works!!!
I'm going to do something fairly odd for me tonight...I rarely (actually never!) blog about favorite celebrities, etc, because I don't really have any.
....But there is one....
Before I say anything further, I'm going to start by pointing out that I am a happily married woman, and any opinions I have about the gentleman I'm about to gush over is purely from a "I'm a fan who can look but will never, and would never touch!" standpoint. And I'm going to go ahead and go for it because, well seriously, is he really ever going to see this? Of course not. Also, it's 2 in the morning and I can't sleep, so if I start to make less and less sense as this goes on, overlook me!
I think I have, what, 2 readers? Does anyone else here know who Paul Young is? If you don't, please take a moment to open another browser, and Google that name. And brace yourself when you do....because this man is devilishly handsome. :) I'd love to attach a picture of him to this blog entry, but the stinking thing won't let me! Advanced technology of the new millennium for you. But I digress. I was going on about Paul Young and how his looks are a treat for the eyes. And ooohhhhhh that voice! That beautiful, smooth, soulful, warm, melt-you-into-a-puddle-on-the-floor voice. That voice of his is addictive! Highly and hopelessly.
So he sings and he's pretty fun to look at. His only talents?? Nope. He is multi-talented. Not only can he sing, he can play guitar and piano. Come on, a man with an adorable face who can sing as well as charm the daylights out of anyone with his musical abilities...I don't know about you, but when I was in college (aka single) if a good looking man sat down near me and started playing a guitar and singing, forget it. I was pretty much on another planet from there. That was Charm #1 in my book. I can watch Paul do it on You Tube and it pretty much has the same effect, lol! But so far I'm only blabbering on about his music...
Remember I said he was multi-talented? I wasn't talking just about music, sweeties. :) Here is where Paul Young becomes an even rarer gem: How many men do you know who can not only find their way around a kitchen, but are good at it? This man can cook. So much so that he could write a book on the subject. Oh wait...he has! He's just released a cook book called "On My Travels". I think I got the name right. I hope it becomes available here in the States sometime soon. I want to get my little paws on that book. But, alas, I have to say, that is one big difference between me and Paul: He can cook amazing things (he's done it on TV) and I burn scrambled eggs. I know, it's pathetic! I think I may actually have a legitimate need for that book!!! I'm glad it's a book though. I don't think I could learn much from actually watching him. He'd lose me after about two seconds. The first time he smiled, I don't think I'd hear much after that. I'd just stand there with a goofy smile on my face.
So there is probably more I could go on and on about, but I'm finally starting to get sleepy, so I'm going to get some rest while the getting is good! Seriously though, if you've never had the pleasure of listening to, or seeing this man, look him up on Google. May I recommend the song "Every Time You Go Away".... I know someone reading this just said "Oh yeah, I know who he is! I've heard that song!" While I'm at it, he's also a member of a Tex-Mex band called Los Pacaminos.
Good night, all.

So there is probably more I could go on and on about, but I'm finally starting to get sleepy, so I'm going to get some rest while the getting is good! Seriously though, if you've never had the pleasure of listening to, or seeing this man, look him up on Google. May I recommend the song "Every Time You Go Away".... I know someone reading this just said "Oh yeah, I know who he is! I've heard that song!" While I'm at it, he's also a member of a Tex-Mex band called Los Pacaminos.
Good night, all.
