What's on my Mind: How, when and where to process the four roosters I ended up with from the half dozen chicks that were purchased from the FFA tent at last summer's Fair. Ugh. All that time and feed only to end up with no eggs.
Thankful for: A fantastic Recreational Leadership Workshop for 4H that I attended this weekend at the Kettunen Center with our county camp director and a 'seasoned' counselor. It was very well organized, there was great energy and camaraderie, we sang, played games, did experiments, made crafts, plus gained valuable information and inspiration. Seeing all the young people that were there to give their time and talents to be volunteer counselors at camps in various counties was extremely touching and motivating, not to mention several retirees that are a huge part of 4H in their areas. A wonderfully refreshing experience.
Creative Endeavors: The past couple weeks I went collage crazy and made several flat pieces, started a couple boxes and made a dream house board on a long piece of roll paper. Basically I cut out all types of furniture, fabrics, tiles, lighting, and flooring that I would love to eventually use in my own home. It was enjoyable and relaxing.
Latest Project: We had the first initial meeting of the 4H Feeds Families Committee and officially elected officers. Fundraisers and Task Forces were discussed as well as a game plan for this year's fair. Also working on a grant for the community choir.
My 3 Sons: Soccer sign-up is turned in for Ben, he is now working on his Space Camp application. Next weekend is baseball sign-up for Ethan and he goes to 6th grade camp this month. Fox is in the middle of 2nd Trimester exams and track practice starts in a matter of days. We have had far to many "icy back road" no school days which means our school year will need to be extended although we haven't received any official word yet since winter is not finished. Boo.
The first Born: Had an utterly amazing time with her bf at the Rain concert which was a Christmas present from her grandparents and parents.
Employment News: Tomorrow morning bright and early I begin a full-time position at a local greenhouse and berry farm. Working outside in an 'active' position is something I am very much looking forward to.
Hoping to Improve: Cutting out as much processed food as possible.
Food for Thought: "Day after day we judge ourselves as good or bad based on what we are eating or how we look. If we release ourselves from the tyranny of judgment, guilt, and worry, we can free up enormous amounts of time and energy to be used in more positive ways." ~Ten Habits of Naturally Slim People
