Talking in Parenthesis
Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Three Things Thursday and other stuff
Thanksgiving was very nice. My parents came up and I cooked dinner, the first time I have cooked Thanksgiving for them. Everything turned out great. After dinner Ron's parents, pooh and his brother and his girlfriend came for pie. House full of loud happy laughter. I couldn't have asked for more.
We are decorating the tree on Sunday night and we will start the annual push to Christmas. So far 3 concerts to go to, 2 on the same night at the same time, bummer.
Okay back to our regularly scheduled TTT
I have been thinking about what I am going to do for Christmas gifts for the elementary teachers, there are three this year. So I thought I would list three of the best teacher gifts from years past. (in no real order)
1. Homemade cinnamon raisin bread with beaded key chains the kids made.
2. Hand painted glass plates filled with cookies. (the cookies were store bought, pepperidge farms though)
3. Cross stitched wall hangings personalized for each teacher.
I think this year I am going to fill tins with homemade cookies.
