The Charles Schulz Philosophy (This is marvellous!!  Scroll thru slowly and read carefully to receive and enjoy full effect) The  following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the  creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.  1. Name  the five wealthiest people in the  world.  2. Name  the last five Heisman trophy winners.  3. Name  the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.  4  Name  ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.  5. Name  the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.  6. Name  the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.  These are no second-rate achievers.  They are the best in their fields.  But the applause dies..  Awards tarnish..  Achievements are forgotten.  Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.  2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.  3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.  4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. Easier? The lesson:  The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the  most credentials, the most money...or the most awards.  They simply are the ones who care the most Pass this on to those people who have either made a difference in your life,  or whom you keep close in your heart, like I did  'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.   It's already tomorrow in  Australia   !' ''Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Taken!"

Out with old in with the new!

Today me and the wolf daughters spent all day long cleaning the house. Taking all the Christmas stuff done and putting the new things out.  

What we didn't want took to goodwill for someone else to use.   

We are going to start a new fresh year..  I hope its a great 2012 for us.  We sure could use some great news and some wonderful things happen here. 

 

When does age mean this?

Yesterday we meet up with some people we know and they have a daughter who will be 18 in a few months.  So, she hung out with my girls we went to the beach and played around, weather was great. 

Several times her parents keep saying I am so glad she is having fun now in a few months she will be 18 adult time to grow up. WHAT?    I looked at both of them finally and said what do you mean by that.  

They said well when she turns 18 she is adult. Yes I agree with that.  So, where does it say you can't have fun after that.   They then both said Oldest Wolf Daughter acts to young for her age.  I said what do you mean she said well she is 19 jumping in the ocean waves and laughing not acting like adult.  

Ok I am still lost.  Where does it say when you hit the magic number of 18 you can't laugh have fun anymore.  No no don't think so.  Life is to short I told them both.  There is time to be serious and time to have fun.  Right now Oldest Wolf daughter is on break and she is having fun.   I said I am there mother and old enough to know better I have laugh, swim and jump in the waves watch me. I ran to the water and jump and played with the kids.  

I came back and said come and join us they said no thank you.  

I was lost when we came back home and still am.  They are so serious there is very little laughing because they are adults I think I was told that 50 times yesterday.  

So, next time I go out to eat and I see a table of adults and see them laughing does that me they haven't grown up yet? 

Or when I go to the beach and see older people in the water does that mean they haven't grown up yet? 

Its all over with but the crying.

We  made it through Christmas had a wonderful day with family.  Messed around in the morning and then ate a wonderful lunch took a long winter nap then watch movies with the wolf daughters. 
Nice quiet day. 


I hope all my blogging friends and family enjoyed there wonderful day with your family and Santa was good to you all. 

I know Santa was good here and we all loved our gifts.  Thanks Santa till next year take care and rest up for another busy year.  

Christmas is here.

It seem like we had a long time to get ready for Christmas now its here.  How could that happen? I'm not quit ready for it. But, you know what it will come even if I'm not ready so I better get ready. 


This year we decide we do everything different. First it started out with baking we decide we weren't going to bake all that stuff this year so much of it goes to waste and everything is so high now days. We decide we would do a batch at a time.  When that batch is gone then someone in the house gets to pick what they want next and then go from there.  That way nothing goes to waste.  We use to bake a lot and give away but no one wants to eat all that stuff now days.  Everyone is either on a diet or going on one or watching what they eat.  I hate giving people food when you know they wouldn't eat.  So, we decide this year to give our neighbors and those hard to buy for plants or a basket with popcorn and movie in it.   Something we know everyone will enjoy. 




For Christmas eve supper we decide to make chicken kabobs and rice along with homemade pumpkin pie.   


For Christmas  dinner we decide to make homemade lasagna with garlic toast and a salad.   I know different but my family is not big on turkey and ham all that stuff so we decide to try a whole new route and see how it goes.  


Now all the cooking is done lasagna is made ready to finish off tomorrow and kabobs are ready to go on grill later.   The house is all lite up with many different colors, music is playing Jingle Bells, wolf daughters are opening there gifts from each other.  Daddy wolf is taking a nap. Its time to turn tv on and watch  How the Grinch Stole Christmas and get ready for that Jolly Man tonight.  


Merry Christmas to all my wonderful blogging friends and family I hope you all enjoy your day with your family and Santa was good to each and everyone of you.

Drama does it end?

Boy, sometimes I wonder. Don't you all?   Why don't people get a life and get on with it.

I remember one time asking my father that question and he said you know what.  What goes around comes around.   There time is coming. 

I love facebook well I did I keep in touch with family and meet alot of wonderful new homeschool families and gotten many ideas.   I belong to a group there and when facebook was changing everything I got booted.  I ask the people on there why and no one know.  One girl I talk too wanted to start a new group so I could come back and I told her no not now I wanted to wait and see what happen and facebook was working with me. They are wonderful people.   We found the problem and I went back on.  That girl was gone I ask why and they said she left.   Ok  why?  No one would tell and she wouldn't talk to me.   I don't get it.  If you didn't do anything why did you leave.   No answer.    Why wouldn't you talk to me?  Talk to everyone else but me.  What are you hiding?

That's ok  I gotten over it and gone on with it.  I just know her time is coming  she will get brought down and I will stand back and watch.   I don't feel I did anything.  I try to talk to her to ask what happen but she would never talk.  I was raise if you did nothing wrong then stand up too it.   And that is what I was doing standing my ground.   I will still stand my ground I have nothing to hide. She must as she left and wouldn't talk.

People sometimes never get it.    That's ok  like I said I have gone on and found others who are more honest and understand. To me she was never a friend if she can't talk.   A friend would talk?  Right? 

You never stop learning!

Oldest Wolf Daughter is done with her first semster of college did great all A's  GPA is 4.00  couldn't be prouder. 

Youngest Wolf Daughter is done till after the holidays too.  So, we been doing odd jobs around the house like cleaning, cooking and baking. 

Anyway the other night Daddy Wolf came home and said the tire on the van was flat we could of taken it took a shop to be fix but thought wow what a lesson to teach the girls.  So, they both were out there learning how to change a tire.   Then they went on to changing the oil.  Did a wonderful job..   We taught both girls to drive so wanted them both to learn how to take of there car if they had any troubles what to do if no one was around to help them.  Both did great.. 


Daddy Wolf spend a couple hours out there with them showing them all the bells and whistles on a the car and what all the stuff was for..
