Arizona Evenings...

Saturday January 30, 2010

Well, I have just finished all of my schoolwork! Yep, two weeks worth of work in pretty much one day. I loathe last minute crunch time, but I also thrive and find a way to get it all done in that type of situation. Let's hope I don't encounter it again for a while.

Last night was the "wolf" full moon. It was huge, bright and gorgeous. Here are some pictures:

The moon is not as easy to photograph as you'd think. Either way, it was lovely. Only to be followed tonight by a firey sunset.

We capped off the night with a delicious breaded pork tenderloin dinner. It's now about 7:50pm and the kids are ready for their snack before bed. All I want to do is log off, grab my kids, snuggle in bed next to my husband and watch iCarly! :) It was a really good day and I am so grateful for my lovely little family! All is good in the world tonight. Sleep well all.

Sweet Distractions

January 29, 2010,

Well, it's Friday and I haven't come close to finishing my schoolwork for this week and it's due tomorrow by midnight!!! The kids have required sooo much attention and it's so hard to say, "No, mommy has to study. Ask daddy to play." These are times that will pass all too quickly I am sure and so I put my books away and spend time with them. I figure I can get up early and make up the study time. Sleep, schmeep! Who needs it...right? ;)

Tonight I had a stuffed bell pepper for dinner. Well, actually, my brother made stuffed peppers, however I have yet to eat mine. I made burritos for my husband and kids and they loved it. You know how sometimes after cooking you just don't want to actually eat anything yourself? Yeah,..well, I'm there now. But I am really looking forward to digging into a pepper! I could eat stuffed bell peppers for breakfast!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!

Tonight is the "wolf" moon. It is one of the fullest, biggest, brightest moons of the year. The pictures didn't come out as great as I would have liked, but the moon isn't very easy to photograph well.

Well, I'll keep practicing. Regardless it sure is a bright moon!!!

Okay, I just bit into the stuffed pepper,...WOW!!! They sure are delicious!!!!! I'm full already, but they are so good, I just want to stuff more into my mouth! Ugh! Where's the Prilosec?! LOL I'm tired now and this is one of those days that I wish I didn't have schoolwork to do. I'll rest early and get up early and finish it. I promise! ;)

Side thought: I want to be the one that finds a way to create, market and sell time. I'd make a fortune in about 30 seconds flat!!! Oh well, dare to dream eh?

Tonight and the last many nights, I've been thinking of those in Haiti. Mainly the children. How scared must they be? How horrible for those children that have lost parents, AND for those parents that have lost their children?! For those of us that don't have private jumbo jets and multi-millions with which to fly in doctors and supplies, there must be something more we can do. I'm thinking fund-raising. I don't think any of us can truly imagine what they must be coping with. My wish is that everyone do at least one thing to help. Just one thing, afterall, one day, no doubt, it will be one of us. For now, sleep well and safe everyone.
