First things first.
It is the last day of my Thanksgiving vacation. I have a serious case of the blues. Love my class, miss my friends, enjoy my job BUT . . . wish I could do it in my pjs from home. And not have a schedule. And go to the bathroom whenever I want.
Oh, and somehow, I accidentally posted my 100th post without even realizing it. I was mad at myself (after the fact). I wanted to make a big deal. They always make a big deal about the 100th episode of a show so I was planning on that, too. We were going to have a cake and everything! I was watching for it, and preparing for it, and here I am on my 101st post. And I’d rather have cake than think about the 101 Dalmatians.
So.
Let’s all go eat a piece of cake and come back to reconvene. How does that sound?
——————————————————————————————–
I just searched my pantry for a piece of cake. There is no cake here. ๐ I had to make do with a 100 calorie bag of chocolate chip Keebler something or other that I found. I ate them. Then I looked for something else because they are never enough. I found a snack sized Butterfinger candy bar at the bottom of my Halloween stash. I’m pretty much down to Almond Joys which are for my sis, Kerry, who loves coconut. I do not. This is why they call us fraternal.
Anyways, now that we’re semi satisfied and finished celebrating my 100th post in blogging, let’s get to the real reason for this post.
I’ve been awarded the Sunshine Award. By a lot of you. And I think the sheer number of times I’ve been awarded is because I’ve failed to tell anyone that I’ve received it. So let me be clear – I have received my award and I am honored. I feel really bad that I keep receiving it. Like, I’m trying to be sneaky and get it as many times as possible. I’m not trying to do that but it looks that way.
Just eat your cake.
So, let me say thank you to the following blogs for awarding me the Sunshine award. I really really really appreciate it!!! It made me happy every single time (and a little guilty).
Thank you again for the Sunshine Award. I hope everyone has a good week back at school. I hope we can all wake up tomorrow. I’m a little worried I forgot how to set the alarm.
I think I need one more day of rest just to get my brain ready for these next 3 weeks…because just thinking of how busy they are makes me TIRED!
I needed some inspiration too so that is what my blog post is about today. YOU are a gift to me and I know you are a gift from God to each one of your kiddos. Hop on over to my blog and hopefully get a little Sunday night inspiration!
And if I had room for cake, I would eat a piece with you! Congrats on your 100+ posts!
I'm with ya. I love my kiddos but love to go to the bathroom when I want to! Congrats on 100 posts! I love reading your blog. I still laugh about the Halloween one. Very funny!

You are most welcome~~I am so thankful for you!
100th post….don't most shows do a musical number/theme for the 100th episode? Yes, I expect a musical from you in, oh, the next few days.
Ha! LOL! I think I'd better just go to bed now.
Have a sweet week! ReadWriteSing
Shout out to a color blind friend…so am I. Very uncommon for females and most people don't believe me. Glad to hear I'm not the only one ๐

"I have a serious case of the blues. Love my class, miss my friends, enjoy my job BUT . . . wish I could do it in my pjs from home. And not have a schedule. And go to the bathroom whenever I want." – You took the words out of my mouth!!!!!!

Oh my, so you're going to think I'm so silly! It just hit me that you honored me with the sunshine award!! Duh! I just thought you were spreading the word of new blogs, don't know how I missed that?! BUT! Thank you so much for that!! As a new blogger, that is just such a compliment! You are so wonderful to have faith in me. ๐ I hope to continue learning from you!
Um, your first paragraph–my thoughts exactly! Christmas break can't get here soon enough. Thanksgiving break went by too quickly and I'm sad.
I wish I had some cake. This post made me so hungry. Dang.
Congratulations on your multiple awards! And 101 posts already…you are one hard-working blogger! I'm so glad I found your blog recently ๐

Oh Kristen:
You ARE the sunshine award! (You are getting it from me too!)
Just soak up the love and be joyful–because, so often, you make our day (I know I speak for the multitudes!)
I hate that this little comment section won't let me increase the size of the type so I could leave you a GIANT CONGRATULATIONS (close your eyes and picture a font of 72!) for over 100 posts! (You will need to open them to read the rest!!)
If you count all of the comments you have left around BlogLand, it's probably closer to 500!
Thanks, Kristen. You deserve to be celebrated! WooHoo for you!
