What is Your Oddest Thanksgiving Memory?

Mine was waking up on TG day in southwestern Ireland with my husband and kids. We got up and wished each other Happy TG, and embarked upon our daily journey. It was not until late that afternoon that an elderly woman in antigue shop remembered that it was TG in the states and wished us a blessed TG. Being a thoroughly american holiday, we should have anitcipated this, but it was weird nonetheless. It was a good lesson for our children that the world is bigger than the US. It was also a good lesson for my husband and me that the TG tradition is important to us and we do not wish to miss it again if we can help it.

Glad to be Back with My BS Friends!

Hey All!  It has been far too long since I was on Buddy Slim.  Thankfully, nothing terrible has happened.  The kids busy schedules and my job just caused me to lose focus for a while, but I am back. 

I would like to personally thank my buddy Tamieka for giving me the push I needed to make myself a priority again.  It is AMAZING what one person can do!  I am always telling my principals and teachers that one person can make a difference to a kid.  Well, one person can make a difference to an adult too.  Thanks, Tamieka!

Today it is back to counting points and WRITING THEM DOWN - not just guesstimating how many points I have eaten.  It is back to exercise and blogging on BS too.

 There is only one me and I have only this life to get it right.  I am too old to keep making excuses.  I know better.  If I am not honest with myself, I cannot be honest with others.

Here I go!
